“In the case of beneficiaries, India is now the second largest in the world and the CRORE CRORE provides social protection to billions of citizens,” it said.
Labor and Employment Minister Mansukh Mandavi is leading the three -day Indian delegation of Switzerland in Switzerland to participate in the ILO International Labor Council (ILC) to participate in the 33rd session.
According to ministers, India has started the National-Level Social Protection Data Pooling Exercise in collaboration with the International Workers Association.
The ministry has said, “At present, the current statistics reflect only the first phase of data pooling exercise. In this phase, the focus was on the statistics of the central sector schemes and the beneficiaries of the women-centric schemes in the selected states,” the ministry said.
“While Phase II and further consolidation are underway, it is expected that India’s overall social protection coverage will soon overtake the sign of 100 crores on the verification of additional plans.
It is optimistic to the government that the growth of social protection coverage will strengthen India’s global investment, especially to finalize the Social Security Agreement (SSA) with developed nations.
These agreements will ensure the portability of social protection benefits for Indian professionals working abroad, while partner countries will offer the transparency required for mutual identity framework. “”
