Uttarakhand CM transfers over Rs 12 crore via DBT to beneficaries

The Chief Minister also inaugurated special assistance facilities for workers at 191 Common Service Centres (CSCs) across the state. "These centres will provide easy access to information related to welfare schemes, registration, renewal and other essential services for workers"

Addressing the gathering, the Chief Minister said that the state government is continuously resolving issues faced by workers and implementing several welfare schemes for workers and their dependents. "These initiatives aim to provide financial security, social protection and a dignified standard of living."

He added that training programmes are also being conducted to enhance the skills of workers and support their livelihoods.

The Chief Minister stated that workers form the strongest foundation of the state's development, and their contribution to infrastructure development is invaluable. He emphasised that it is the responsibility of the government to secure the future of those who play a crucial role in the state's progress, along with their families.

He further said that with the special arrangements introduced at 191 Common Service Centres, workers will no longer need to visit government offices repeatedly. "Through CSCs at block, tehsil and village levels, workers will be able to avail registration, renewal and all scheme-related assistance at a single location."

The Chief Minister informed that over the past six months, the Workers Welfare Board has transferred Rs 51 crores directly into the bank accounts of workers and their families. "Earlier, facilities for registration, renewal and submission of benefit applications had also been initiated at the development block level". (ANI)
