Labour ministry working on comprehensive policy to provide social security cover to gig workers: Mandaviya

Labour and employment minister Mansukh Mandaviya chaired a review meeting with top officials of the ministry on Sunday to take stock on the progress towards the government’s vision of a universal social security for all as outlined in the Social Security Code. The ministry will set up an online window to help aggregators, companies that employ gig and platform workers, to take the lead in registering their workers on this eShram portal so that existing benefits can be made available to such workers.
