B .  Giving recommendations on revisiting forest laws in India and argued for merging all the existing forest laws into single law
C .  Giving nationwide poverty estimates using PPP as basis
D .  Of estimating unemployment data in India
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
The idea of a national level minimum wage has been debated since the enactment of the Minimum Wages Act 1948 in India.
The main argument against a national minimum wage has been the existence of wide disparities in economic development and large variations in the cost of living between regions and states.
Bhoothalingam Committee, 1978, argued for the adoption of the National Floor Level Minimum Wage to ensure a uniform wage for all workers and enhance protection of the most vulnerable workers and eliminate arbitrariness in the determination of the level of minimum wages for different States and occupations.
Recommendations were mainly for the organized sector.
