The meeting was attended by Additional Deputy Commissioner, Prem Singh; Assistant Director Employment; Chief Executive Officer Municipal Council; Assistant Labour Commissioner and other concerned officers.
The Deputy Commissioner reviewed on-ground implementation of the scheme. She stressed the need to bring the workers from the unorganised sector under the ambit of social security benefits. She underscored the significance of the PM-SYM scheme in ensuring financial security for workers who do not have access to formal social security mechanisms.
A string of directions were issued to the stakeholder departments to intensify grassroots-level mobilisation and awareness to achieve maximum outreach. The Departments were instructed to identify eligible beneficiaries within their respective jurisdictions and facilitate their enrolment through focused field-level activities.
