Haryana Shramik Panjikaran Abhiyan Scheme

The plight of construction workers in the unorganized sector leaves a lot to be desired. These labourers are forced to work under unhygienic work conditions, with little scope for basic needs like food, water, and shelter. To make it worse, they are hardly remunerated for their efforts, despite being the creators of the infrastructure we cherish. As a measure to curb this situation, the Haryana Government has initiated a new scheme known as Haryana Shramik Panjikaran Abhiyan scheme, the object of which is to offer an identity card to the labourers for the purpose of granting them a unique identity, as well as for their overall development. To be precise, the Government intends to facilitate the workers with all the essential needs and grant them perks which they woudn’t be usually entitled to. This article looks at the various aspects of the scheme.

Salient Features of the Scheme

The following are the various facets of the initiative:

  • The scheme strives to improve the affairs of the construction workers by granting them a unique identity, thereby providing them with ample recognition and reward for their endeavors.
  • The scheme will be implemented in three phases so as to extend the benefits to the majority of workers in the State.
  • The program has been currently implemented in 55 labor chowks. More chowks will be ushered in at the prospective phases.
  • Canteens will be initiated in various parts of the state to cater to these workers.
  • Through this scheme, the laborers will be considered eligible for the perks sponsored by both the Central and State Governments.
  • A sum of Rs. 400 crores have been allocated to meet the basic needs of the workers.
