An IT sector employee body has written to the labour ministry seeking a government advisory mandating work-from-home (WFH) for the 5.8 million workforce, after Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for austerity measures in the national interest.
In a letter to labour and employment minister Mansukh Mandaviya, the Nascent Information Technology Employees Senate (NITES) said the move aligns with Modi’s recent appeal to reduce fuel consumption, unnecessary travel and adopt remote working practices amid global uncertainties.
