Description
The union government is working on issuing a unique identification number for the workforce engaged in unorganised sector to facilitate them to access social schemes and benefits. “We are working to issue a smart card ‘Unorganised Workers Identification Number’ (U-WIN card) for the workforce engaged in unorganised sector soon in the country,” P.P. Mitra, principal labour and employment adviser, Union ministry of labour and employment, told reporters in Jamshedpur on Saturday. Mitra, who was in the steel city to take part in a function, said 93% of the workforce (approx 40 crore) were engaged in the unorganised sector in the country. The software in this regard had been developed and it would be sent to the state governments for its implementation soon, Mitra said. The benefits of the Union government schemes such as pension scheme, old age scheme would be linked with the U-WIN cards, he said.
