Migrant workers, construction workers, street vendors and gig workers in India live on the very edge of financial security. In many cases, they are entitled to access certain benefits, but need a card to get started.
In the city of Bangalore, DIF’s Rozgar Dhaba team is raising awareness among street vendors about different social security schemes and documents like the e-Shram card.
With the help of the Rozgar Dhaba team, street vendors in Bangalore are getting their e-Shram cards. This means they can now access social security benefits– including health insurance and pension schemes–that were previously inaccessible to them.
At DIF, we believe that street vendors deserve the same benefits as other citizens–and we’re committed to making that happen.
