NAC wants unorganised workers’ Act to be more inclusive

-Express News Service
 
The Sonia Gandhi-chaired National Advisory Council (NAC) on Tuesday asked a working group under it to work out implementation mechanisms and financial implications of a comprehensive social security package to make the Unorganised Workers’ Social Security Act, 2008 more inclusive.

The direction came during a meeting where a working group on ‘Social Security for Unorganized Workers’ presented its draft suggestions for a “comprehensive social security package, that includes Health Insurance; Maternity Assistance; Life-cum-Disability insurance scheme and pension plan to be provided through a single window backed by a common ICT architecture”.

“The Council reviewed the proposal and advised the Working Group to... present revised recommendations to the council in 2-3 months,” said an NAC communique.

During the meeting, Deputy Chairperson of Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia and Director General of Institute of Applied Manpower Research Santosh Mehrotra made a presentation of the findings of the India Human Development Report, 2011 released recently.
