GOVERNMENT’S POLICY TOWARDS LABOUR 157
An Honourable Member : Mr. Joshi is there.
Dr. Ambedkar : I do not know if there is any other matter which has been raised in the course of this debate to which I have not given a reply, or which calls for a reply.
I think I may say that whatever may be said with regard to the Government of India in the matter of Labour it can be legitimately claimed that there has been a new orientation with regard to the attitude of Government in respect of labour.
Mr. Amarendra Nath Chattopadhyaya : What is the policy behind it?
Dr. Ambedkar : For the last half an hour I have been saying nothing else.
Maulvi Muhammad Abdul Ghani: May I seek one piece of information from the Honourable Member ? How is it that the technicians after being trained at a centre do not get certificates after the training ?
Dr. Ambedkar : I will look into it.
Mr. N.M. Joshi: Sir, in the hope that this discussion will lead to increased activity and better activity on the part of the Labour Department, I ask leave to withdraw my cut motion.
The cut motion was, by leave of the Assembly, withdrawn.
