Inaugurating a seminar on `Problems in the Labour Sector in the Context of Economic Reforms', organised by the Kerala University Employees' Union here today, Dr. Isaac said the discussions with the ADB, begun to reform the State's finances, had ended up as a programme for reforming the Government itself.
