Govt policies focus on jobs, demographic dividend: Mansukh Mandaviya
The government's employment and labour policies aim to create an industrial ecosystem that generates employment, trickles down the work culture of top organisations to smaller organisations, and harnesses the country's demographic dividend , said Mansukh Mandaviya , minister of labour and employment, youth Affairs, and sports. "The internship scheme will help spread the work culture of the premium 500 companies through these youths, as they can help the downstream companies through their learnings during the internship to adopt the work culture of premium companies ," Mandaviya said at FICCI's "3rd Global Industries Relations Summit". The industrial ecosystem will benefit holistically as downstream industries improve their work system, which will result in developing an international standard work culture in these industries, Mandaviya added.

Technology won't replace workforce, assures Labour Minister Mandaviya
Union Minister for Labour & Employment Mansukh Mandaviya assured stakeholders that artificial intelligence and emerging technologies pose no threat to India's workforce, emphasising that human operators will remain indispensable in the digital at the 3rd Global Industrial Relations Summit organised by FICCI-AIOE in collaboration with the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and International Organisation of Employers (IOE) in Geneva, Mandviya dismissed concerns about technology-driven job displacement."AI and technology cannot replace manpower or workforce. There is absolutely no threat to workforce or jobs due to technology or AI as technology will be operated by human only," the minister declared during his address to the international gathering of industry leaders and policymakers. Mandaviya's remarks come amid growing global concerns about automation potentially rendering millions of jobs obsolete across various sectors. However, the minister maintained an optimistic outlook, arguing that technological advancement will create new opportunities rather than eliminate existing ones. "Even after the emergence of AI or technology, the requirement for workforce or manpower will always be there because the technology will be operated by humans only," he reiterated, highlighting the complementary relationship between human skills and technological capabilities. Dr Mandaviya further stated that industries need to change with time and adopt new developments. The government, he added, is taking a holistic approach to ensure economic growth along with new employment generation. Speaking on the new Employment Linked Incentive scheme , the Minister said that the government launched the scheme to ensure new jobs. "It is a long-term plan, and India needs to establish its own parameters to meet global parameters. From 1st August, the scheme will be rolled out," he added. Roberto Suarez Santos, Secretary General of the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) in Geneva, acknowledged the transformative impact of artificial intelligence on modern workplaces. "AI and digitalisation are already transforming how we work, how we live, and how we govern. And one thing is clear: they are here to stay," he observed. Santos pointed to the expanding role of AI in human resources and management decisions, noting that "across industries, AI is now being integrated to support decision-making processes that directly affect people's lives. It can screen job applicants and evaluate employee performance." His comments underscore the rapid integration of AI tools in workplace management, from recruitment processes to performance evaluation systems, suggesting a fundamental shift in how organisations operate. FICCI Director General Jyoti Vij emphasised the need for industrial relations frameworks to adapt to changing work dynamics. "As we navigate unprecedented shifts in how, where and why work is done, industrial relations must evolve from a compliance-based approach towards a strategic enabler of competitiveness, social justice and long-term sustainability," she stated.

'No Problems Playing Pakistan But...': Sports Minister On India's Stand Post Terror Attack
Last Updated: India will host Asia Cup hockey, FIH Junior World Cup and junior shooting World Cup this year where Pakistani participation is expected. Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya reaffirmed the government's stance that Pakistan's participation in international sports events held in India will not be hindered, despite the strained relations that worsened after the Pahalgam terror attack in April. The major events where Pakistani participation is expected include next month's men's Asia Cup hockey tournament in Bihar, the FIH Junior World Cup in Tamil Nadu in November-December, and the junior shooting World Cup in New Delhi in September-October. Mandaviya stated, 'Our stand is clear. We don't have any problems playing with Pakistan in any international sporting event, be it cricket, hockey or any other sport. But when it comes to bilateral engagements, the government position is known to all." The Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) has requested clearance from its government to participate in the two tournaments in India, but it remains uncertain if approval has been granted. The sports minister confirmed, 'We have told Pakistan that we will grant them visas for the Asia Cup and Junior World Cup hockey tournaments, but it is up to their government now to decide whether to send teams or not. We have no problem." 'Both are international tournaments and every team participating will be accorded the same treatment," he added. The Asia Cup is set to be held in Rajgir from August 27 to September 7, while the Junior World Cup is scheduled from November 28 to December 10. The government's decision to allow Pakistan is based on the Olympic Charter, which prohibits denying participation due to political reasons. Such an act can lead to suspension of future hosting rights for that country. India is currently in the race to host the 2036 Olympic Games and the 2030 Commonwealth Games. In cricket, India and Pakistan only play each other in global or continental tournaments with bilateral ties suspended. Earlier this year, the Champions Trophy was held in Hybrid Model after India refused to travel to Pakistan for the tournament. view comments First Published: July 14, 2025, 17:04 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Mandaviya calls for spiritual institutions to lead 'Nasha Mukt Yuva' campaign at Kashi Summit
Varanasi , Union Youth Affairs and Sports Minister Dr Mansukh Mandaviya on Sunday called on spiritual institutions to lead the campaign for a drug-free India, describing them as the backbone of the "Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat" initiative. Mandaviya calls for spiritual institutions to lead 'Nasha Mukt Yuva' campaign at Kashi Summit Organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, the summit saw participation from over 600 youth leaders, over 120 spiritual and socio-cultural organisations, academicians, and domain experts. The event was seen as a key step towards achieving a drug-free society by 2047. Speaking at the Youth Spiritual Summit in Varanasi, where the Kashi Declaration was formally adopted, Mandaviya said, "Bharat's spiritual strength has always guided Bharat through its crises. This is why spiritual institutions must now lead the charge in creating a Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat." "We have reflected deeply over the last three days across diverse thematic sessions. Based on this collective discussion, the Kashi Declaration is born, not just as a document, but as a shared Sankalp for the Yuva Shakti of Bharat," the minister added. The Kashi Declaration affirms a national consensus to address substance abuse as a multi-faceted public health and societal challenge, and calls for a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach. Key proposals include setting up a Joint National Committee, regular progress reporting, and a national support platform for affected individuals. The summit featured four plenary sessions on the psychological and societal impacts of drug abuse, trafficking networks, awareness strategies, and the role of spiritual and cultural bodies in rehabilitation and prevention. Echoing the spiritual tone of the summit, Himachal Pradesh Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla said, "This sacred land of Kashi is the cradle of Sanatan Chetna, where discipline and values guide life's journey towards moksha. We are sowing seeds that will one day grow into a strong tree of national transformation." He warned that a country where 65 per cent of the population is youth cannot afford to fall into addiction. "Only those who break free from it will be able to build the future," he said. Under the MY Bharat framework, the summit has laid the foundation for a national youth-led anti-drug campaign. Volunteers and youth clubs will lead pledge campaigns, awareness drives, and community outreach efforts. The Kashi Declaration will serve as the charter for these initiatives and its progress will be reviewed during the Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue in 2026.
