Enhancing Educational Support for Unorganised Workers' Wards
The Ministry of Labour & Employment in India is reforming the Labour Welfare Scheme to enhance educational support for children of unorganized workers. This reform ensures that students who qualify for welfare-based scholarships can also access merit-based scholarships offered by government agencies. This move aligns with the Code on Social Security, 2020, and aims to promote educational continuity and accessibility among the wards of Beedi, Cine, and Non-Coal Mine workers, potentially benefiting over one lakh students annually.
