The regional Shram Samvad programme on the Labour Codes held on 28 October 2026 took place in which city?
- A.Lucknow
- B.Kanpur
- C.Noida
- D.Varanasi
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Kanpur. The programme was held at IIA Bhavan in the Dadanagar Industrial Area of Kanpur, and was organised jointly by the Ministry of Labour and Employment and the Labour Department of the Government of Uttar Pradesh. Lucknow is wrong because, although it is the state capital and the seat of the state Labour Department, this edition of Shram Samvad was not held there. Noida is wrong because no session of this programme was reported from that industrial centre. Varanasi is wrong for the same reason. The choice of Kanpur matters because the venue was the building of the Indian Industries Association in an industrial area, which allowed employers and their human resources, legal and finance staff to attend in strength.
