“We will onboard auto, taxi, truck and other drivers on e-Shram portal and ensure 100% coverage of all drivers under insurance and other welfare programmes.”
Auto, taxi, truck and other drivers are eligible as unorganised/gig workers under the e-Shram portal (which integrates 14 welfare schemes including PMJJBY, PMSBY and AB-PMJAY) and are covered by the new Code on Social Security framework that brings platform and unorganised workers into the social-security net. App-based cab and auto drivers in particular gain coverage via the gig-worker provisions and Aggregator module. However, the pledge’s explicit bar of 100% coverage of all drivers under insurance and welfare programmes has not been achieved; registration and benefit linkage are still in progress. Partial.
We will work with state governments to ensure convenient facilities for senior citizens to undertake sacred pilgrimages across the country.
We will provide senior citizens with comprehensive training in using UPI and other online payment methods, while also educating them on how to recognize and avoid digital scams.
We will reach out to migrant workers and empower them to avail benefits of various programmes that they are eligible for.
