Sambhav Initiative - Parivartan ki Udaan, in association with ProBono India, is conducting a ten-day online National Capacity Building Programme (CBP) on New Labour Codes and Labour Laws from 27th April to 6th May 2026. Sessions will be conducted from 7:00 PM onwards on most days, with one Sunday session scheduled at 11:00 AM. 

Capacity Building Programme Structure 

The programme runs across ten consecutive days and covers eight distinct subject areas drawn from India's new labour law framework. Each day is dedicated to a specific topic and is led by a practitioner or academic with direct experience in that area. An inauguration and valedictory ceremony bracket the programme.
