Committee on Workers Education

The National Commission on Labour appointed by Government of India set up a Committee on Workers Education in 1967, “to carry out a comprehensive assessment of the Workers Education Programme”. This was the first time a high level committee was examining the working of the Scheme and assessing its impact. According to the findings of the Committee:

" The need and usefulness of Workers Education has been amply established. The trade union representatives who met the committee admitted that the scheme had created a general consciousness about the need of Workers Education and had provoked the workers to thick for themselves. The scheme has been successful in turning out an enlightened worker aware of his duties and responsibilities as a citizen"
