Labourers do not want to come and work in cities, laments L&T CMD

 


Mobilisation of labour from villages and towns for infrastructure development in India’s cities is a problem, as labourers do not want to come and work in cities for various reasons, such as the direct benefit transfer and Jan Dhan schemes, said Larsen and Toubro (L&T) chairman and managing director S.N. Subrahmanyan on Tuesday (February 11, 2025).Speaking at the CII Mystic South Global Linkages Summit in Chennai, Mr. Subrahmanyan said India had a peculiar problem: the attrition of labourers happens roughly about three to four times a year. “This means, for employing 4,00,000 labourers, we employed 1.6 million labourers. We have a database of 4 million people with us, their names, their Jan Dhan bank account, their Aadhaar number, the village they come from, their skillsets. There is a site in the western part of the country, where I am supposed to mobilise 50,000 labourers. I need people, but they are not willing to come.”
