West Bengal Samajik Suraksha Yojana - Summary
The Government of West Bengal has introduced several Social Security Schemes under the West Bengal Samajik Suraksha Yojana, designed to provide essential income security for unorganized sector workers facing challenges like old age, survivorship, incapacity, disability, child-rearing, gender disparity, and medical care. These schemes demonstrate a strong commitment to empowering workers.
Key Schemes Under the Samajik Suraksha Yojana
Here are some important schemes included in the West Bengal Samajik Suraksha Yojana:
- State Assisted Scheme of Provident Fund for Unorganized Workers (SASPFUW)
- West Bengal Unorganised Sector Workers’ Health Security Scheme (WBUSWHSS)
- Social Security Scheme for Construction Workers (BOCWA)
- West Bengal Transport Workers Social Security Scheme (WBTWSSS)
- West Bengal Bidi Workers’ Welfare Scheme (WBBWWS)
Benefits of the Scheme
These schemes provide vital support, though the benefits can vary significantly. This inconsistency often leads to confusion regarding eligibility and the benefits one can receive. Additionally, for many workers, especially those with low literacy levels, registering for these schemes can be quite challenging.
Recognizing this, there is a need for a unified and straightforward approach. To address these issues, a consolidated scheme named SAMAJIK SURAKSHA YOJANA, 2017 has been introduced, ensuring that all registered unorganized workers can enjoy uniform benefits that are easier to understand and access.
