Srinagar, Oct 17: Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha on Monday directed the Labour & Employment (L&E) Department to extend Rs two lakh insurance cover to the entire workforce including those in the unorganized sector.
He issued the directions while chairing a review meeting of the Labour & Employment Department today at the Civil Secretariat.
During the meeting, the Lt Governor said that the premium of the insurance would be borne by the Department of Labour and Employment.
“Government is committed for social and economic justice to the workforce in the unorganised sector and every effort is being made to protect the interest of labour, their welfare, and necessary skill development to improve the capability,” the Lt Governor said.
Appraising the function of the department, the Lt Governor stressed that dedicated efforts be made to saturate self-employment schemes, and asked the department for organizing a mega job fair each at Jammu & Srinagar.
Enquiring about the steps put in place by the department to ensure there is no bonded labour and child labour case in J&K, the Lt Governor asked the Department to ensure J&K is free from bonded labour and child labour by regular inspections and conducting surveys.
He directed for starting a help line for unorganised workforce.
“Department must ensure there is no case of exploitation of unorganized workers. Proper employment planning and flexibility in labour deployment in the backdrop of changing market conditions should be the priority,” said the Lt Governor.
The Lt Governor impressed upon the senior officers of the Labour and Employment Department for the welfare & support of the unorganized workforce and their children.
“Health, safety and social security benefits like financial assistance should be top priority. Department should also ensure that all possible assistance for children’s education and scholarships is extended within a fixed timeline,” the Lt Governor directed the officers.
Reviewing the employment sector of the department, the Lt Governor emphasized on integrated planning by bringing all departments on a single platform and working in convergence for effective and efficient employment related services.
Facilitate employment opportunities through national job fairs and an IEC campaign should be launched to generate awareness among the target population, said the Lt Governor.
The Lt Governor directed the department for registration of the entire unorganized workforce and transition of all accounts of J&K EPFO to Central EPFO at the earliest.
Industries in the UT should employ local skilled workforce and trained ITI professionals. Department should carry out assessment of career counseling sessions every six months, the Lt Governor said to the officers.
