Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has called for a comprehensive data collection system on Indian citizens working and studying abroad. This initiative aims to improve data governance and management, especially in the informal sector, and create a unified platform for employment data across government schemes and sectors.
Indian police have detained approximately 100 striking workers and union leaders protesting low wages at a Samsung Electronics plant in southern India. The workers, who have been boycotting work for a week, are demanding higher wages and union recognition. Their strike has disrupted production, impacting roughly a third of Samsung’s annual Indian revenue.
