Vishal Gowda

Founder & National President

The proposed outreach includes construction, contract, migrant, informal and gig workers. The founding committee will decide which sectors and locations to organise first.

Explain where to check eligibility, what to ask the relevant office and how to reach official services.

03 / Accountability

Worker-led governance

Propose elected representatives, clear membership rules and regular reporting to members.

Founding roadmap

From organising to registration

  1. Convene the founding group. Confirm the proposed name, registered-office state, industries and initial membership base.
  2. Draft the constitution. Set membership and dues rules, elections, duties of office-bearers, financial controls and how grievances are handled.
  3. Confirm the filing route. Ask the competent Registrar of Trade Unions to confirm jurisdiction, membership thresholds, forms and supporting records under the applicable rules.
  4. Plan expansion across states. Set rules for branches and review whether the separate Central Trade Union recognition process under Section 27 is relevant later.
