Ram Niwas Bairwa, a retired Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, retired from Regional Office, Indore, was born in Delhi (1952) and brought up in an under-developed village in Jaipur District, Rajasthan. After completing school, he did a diploma in stenography and joined the service and continued his further studies.

In the last 28 years, he has published sixteen books on various subjects and labour laws.

His first book was published in April, 1994 on the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, bilingual (in Hindi and English).

For about eighteen years, he was a regular faculty in the Zonal Training Institute (West Zone) of the Employees’ Provident Funds Organisation in Ahmadabad and Ujjain. The fruitful interactions with the staff from various offices and workers and employers from different states enriched his views on social security and EPF. Those interactions prompted him to give fresh perspectives on different topics, which were widely acknowledged, appreciated, and welcomed and proved to be beneficial to the staff, officers, employers, and workers across country.
