The Shram Samvad campaign of the Ministry of Labour and Employment is covering how many districts?
- A.216
- B.316
- C.416
- D.516
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 316. Shram Samvad is a 90-day outreach initiative through which the Ministry of Labour and Employment is undertaking district-level engagement across 316 districts in all 36 States and Union Territories, with special attention to industrial clusters. Options A, C and D give 216, 416 and 516, and none of these is the figure; the options are deliberately close so that a candidate who has only skimmed the number is caught out. The purpose of the campaign is worth remembering along with the figure: it is to give employers and other stakeholders clarity on the provisions, applicability and compliance requirements of the new Labour Codes, so that implementation works at the ground level. The campaign was launched nationwide on 28 September 2026, and a two-day state-level capacity-building and awareness programme under it is being held at Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh in partnership with the state government.
