Babu Jagjivan Ram’s legislative approach focused on improving basic economic conditions rather than engaging in theoretical debates. This paper analyses his operational focus on material reforms while serving as India's first Labor Minister. Mainstream studies of social justice in India heavily favour constitutional drafting over statutory enforcement. This research shifts the perspective toward the practical mechanics of everyday governance. Evaluating the construction of the Minimum Wages Act of 1948 and the Factories Act of 1948 demonstrates how he built tangible legal shields for marginalized workers. The findings suggest that statutory implementation provides a critical, overlooked path toward subaltern economic empowerment.
