Project Description

Project Brief

The Maharashtra Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, Mumbai deals with welfare of various types of Construction Workers in Maharashtra. There are several schemes for welfare and benefit of Construction Workers which can be availed by a registered Construction Worker. A major challenge faced is that the Construction Workers are not aware about the registration process and many a times cannot afford to take out a day and visit the office of the GLO for completing registrations. Sometimes large numbers of Construction Workers gather at GLO office for registration, however due to lack of Infrastructure and IT system the registration cannot be managed efficiently.

Hence the Board has decided to proactively go to the Construction site and get data for Construction Worker registration. It is equally important to have a strong field support mechanism to enroll the Construction Workers and create awareness among them. A Construction Worker has to get registered with the Maharashtra Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board and renew the registration annually to avail the benefits of welfare schemes. The construction worker has to apply for the registration with GLO. On completing the registration, the Construction Worker can apply for applicable benefits under welfare scheme and benefits are disbursed after approval of the claim by the GLO. The Building and Other Construction Worker Welfare Board is intensely involved in registration of state labors that are dispersed in various locations in Maharashtra state.

The Board has envisaged a strategic plan to enhance labour registration & labour welfare services.
