"We want to make people aware of various welfare schemes introduced for the marginal and backward people of the society engaged in different occupations in the unorganised sector," state's Labour Minister Purnendu Bose said here today.
Organised by the Labour Department, the fortnight would help people get detailed information about the schemes announced by the state government.
The unorganised workers registered under those schemes would get 'Samajik Mukti Card', the minister said adding that this smart card would help them to avail various benefits and ensure their social security.
Requesting all unorganised workers to register their names immediately under these schemes, Bose said how registration of names under various schemes had already increased in last 18 months of their government.
On the occasion awareness camps are being organised at gram panchayat, block, sub-division and district levels.
In all these camps, registration of beneficiaries as well as distribution of benefits under different schemes would be done, he said.
