SHILLONG/TURA, Dec 6: A meeting-cum-awareness programme was on Monday organised by the Labour department at Yojana Bhavan, encompassing all aspects of the e-SHRAM portal and registration of unorganised workers. Labour Minister Sanbor Shullai presided over the programme as the chief guest and was well received by members of the Dorbar Shnong, village councils, CCMTs and welfare committees.
Addressing the gathering, Shullai stressed on the importance of registering unorganised workers on the portal, so that they can access social security and welfare schemes.
Informing that under the scheme, registered workers are entitled to receiving free accidental insurance under Prime Minister Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), he further called upon all stakeholders to help facilitate the registration process for the workers. Notably, the free accidental insurance under PMSBY is said to cover an amount of Rs two lakh in case of accidental death and permanent disability, and Rs one lakh for partial disability for a year.
