Shramik Mitra Scheme Launched By Delhi Government

Highlights:

• Recently, the Delhi government introduced the 'Shramik Mitra' scheme for construction employees.
• Under the programme, 800 'Shramik Mitras' will reach out to construction workers and educate them about government programmes.
• The Delhi government has also enhanced the Dearness Allowance for unskilled and semi-skilled workers, resulting in a 1 % boost in their pay.
• Shramik Mitras will tell construction workers who have been registered with the Construction Board at the ward level about government support programmes.

• The Shramik Mitra plan is a Delhi government initiative that aims to ensure that all government schemes benefit construction workers in the city.
• Approximately 800 Shramik Mitras would be hired by the government and trained to walk door-to-door of all construction employees in the national capital to inform them of various government programmes in the workers' interest.
• These Shramik Mitras will serve as coordinators at the district, ward, and Vidhan Sabha levels.
