This long-awaited reform replaces 29 outdated labour laws, modernizes labour   regulations, and aligns India with global standards of worker welfare and industrial growth. These Codes mark a major step towards building a future-ready workforce, strengthening worker protection, and supporting Aatmanirbhar Bharat. Why the New Labour Codes Matter For decades, India’s labour laws were fragmented, complex, and often outdated. Many were written during the 1930s–1950s—an era with different economic and employment realities. The new Codes finally consolidate these old laws into a simplified, transparent and progressive labour framework. They protect workers, reduce compliance burdens, and support modern forms of work—such as gig, platform, and fixed...

Fire Safety : What Everyone Should Know to Stay Safe Fire is something we all know can be dangerous, but many of us don’t really think about what causes it or how to handle it until it’s too late. Understanding a few basics about fire—how it starts, how it spreads, and how to stop it—can make a huge difference in keeping yourself, your family, and your workplace safe. How Does Fire Start? At its core, fire needs three things to ignite: fuel (something to burn), heat (something to light it up), and oxygen (air to keep it going). This is called the fire triangle.

But fire isn’t just a simple thing burning—there’s also a chemical reaction involved, which is why some fires can be tricky to put out. That’s where the fire tetrahedron comes in, adding that fourth element to the triangle: the chain reaction that sustains the fire. Putting Out Fire:  There are four main ways to fight fire: Cooling: Lower the tempe...
