Outsourcing of Employees
The Minister of State for Mines, Steel and Labour and Employment, Shri Vishnu Deo Sai has said that the number of contract workers and period of job depends on the type of job, quantum and schedule of the project/work. No centralised data is maintained regarding Contract Workers engaged by Ministries and Departments.

In a written reply in the Lok Sabha today, Shri Vishnu Deo Sai has said that the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970 applies to every establishment in which twenty or more workmen are employed or were employed on any day of the preceding twelve months as contract labour. As per section 2 (1)(e)(i) of the Act, any office or department of the Government or a local authority is an establishment. Further as per section 2 (1)(g)(i) of the Act, in relation to any office or department of the Government or a local authority, the head of that office or department or such other officer as the Government or the local authority, as the case may be, may specify in this behalf, is principal employer.
