For example: Government initiatives like Skill India can be expanded to specifically target workers to provide them with relevant skills and training. Using digital platforms to simplify registration and access to welfare schemes and integrate worker data into the National Labour Database to improve service delivery will help create schemes beneficial to workers. For example: India's e-Shram portal, which aims to create a national database of unorganized workers, can be leveraged to include workers to ensure they receive benefits on time.
Comprehensive and well-implemented measures are needed to protect the rights of workers in India and ensure fair treatment of them. Social security, legal recognition, better working conditions, access to justice, training, and better digital infrastructure are important.
