Winter Session Of Parliament: Opposition Seeks Clarity On Narayan Murthy’s 70-Hour Work Week Advice

New Delhi: Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy stirred up a nationwide debate about a month back when he advised the youth to work for 70 hours a week. Murthy has now expanded the reach of his ‘70-hour work week’ advice beyond the employment sector in India, finding mention in Indian governance as well. On the first day of the Winter session of Parliament, three members of the Lok Sabha questioned the Narendra Modi government about whether it was considering the proposal posed by Narayan Murthy.

The YSR Congress Party’s Kanumuru Raghu Rama Krishna Raju, Congress MP Komati Venkata Reddy, and Manne Srinivas Reddy of Bharat Rashtra Samithi asked the Ministry of Labour and Employment in an unstarred question, “Will the Minister of Labour and Employment be pleased to state: Whether the Government is evaluating the 70-hour work proposal made by Infosys co-founder?” according to a Hindustan Times report.
