Arti Ahuja, secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment, informed this at a press conference held here at Brilliant Convention Centre on Tuesday on the eve of the 4th EWG of G-20 countries and the labour and employment ministers meet scheduled to be held here from July 19 to 21.

‘India is also keeping innovations like the e-Shram portal before the working group meetings.
