Every unorganised worker shall be registered by the District Administration. The State Governments are mandated to register the Unorganised Workers and to provide benefits of welfare schemes on matters relating to i.e. (i) life and disability cover, (ii) health and maternity benefits, and (iii) old age protection. It has been the constant endeavour of the Central Government to extend coverage of the social security schemes to all the unorganised workers as per their eligibility. Government is also implementing National Career Service (NCS) through which jobseekers of any category can register themselves for employment services.
