Convention (n° 11) sur le droit d'association (agriculture), 1921 - Inde (Ratification: 1923)

In its previous observation, the Committee had requested the Government to supply information concerning the number of self-employed workers engaged in agriculture who are trade union members and to provide statistics more generally on the number of agricultural unions registered under the Trade Union (Amendment) Act, 2001. The Committee notes that in its report, the Government indicates that: (1) the number of agricultural workers employed in the central sphere is negligible and the enforcement in agricultural sectors rests with the State Government; and (2) according to the statistics available from trade unions in India, 2006 (Labour Bureau), there were 274 unions representing 1,311,424 members submitting returns under agriculture, hunting and forestry in 2006.
