Government Schemes Should Be Utilized Effectively by Workers

Virajpet, June 30: Om Shakti Building and Other Construction Workers’ Association President S. Sedu called on building and other construction workers to register their membership and make good use of the various welfare facilities provided by the government to strengthen the organization.

He spoke while presiding over the annual general meeting organized by Om Shakti Building and Other Construction Workers’ and Unorganized Sector Workers’ Welfare Development Association at the town hall hall.

Welfare facilities for construction workers were earlier implemented in the states of Tripura, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Later, as a result of the struggle held in 2007, various facilities are being provided in Karnataka as well through the Building Workers’ Welfare Board, he said.

If workers register their identity cards and strengthen the organization, they can easily get the benefits of various government schemes. He explained that the Workers' Welfare Board is providing a monthly pension of Rs. 2,000 to registered workers who become disabled due to an accident during work and a monthly pension of Rs. 3,000 to beneficiaries who have completed three years of membership and are 65 years old. He also advised that many educational and social security facilities, including scholarships, are available for the children of registered workers, and the workers should take advantage of them.

The coordinator of the organization, Anupama, spoke in the introduction and said that every worker should give good education to their children and make their future bright.

On this occasion, Treasurer Radhakrishna, Secretary Kumar and Joint Secretary Subramanya spoke and said that new workers should become members of the association and get an identity card. Those who are already registered appealed to renew their identity cards and get the benefits of government welfare schemes.
