Description
According to a rough estimate 10-15 lakh workers migrate to various parts of the country in search of employment every year. Many of them face lot of hardship and even die in accidents. The system of compulsory registration will help build an authentic data bank of the workers. State labour commissioner Sunil Kumar Barnwal said migrating workers who were registered with an agency or agent would be issued green colour card and those who move out of the state in search of a jobs alone would be issued red colour card. Apart from tracking migrant workers, the department will also study the reason and season when the workers migrate. "We will try to generate employment for them in places close to their village in coming years so that they do not have to wonder in search of a jobs," said Barnwal adding that the department would definitely try and find some suitable job for seasonal migrant workers with the state. The department has also decided to provide financial assistance to each migrant worker and their kin in case of permanent disability or death. In case of death of a worker or permanent disability government will also provide Rs 1.5 lakh. In case of partial disability the worker will get Rs 75,000. "All the claims will be made with the deputy commissioner of the concerned district and depending on the case the workers or his kin will be the benefit," he added.
