LUCKNOW: In a bid to enhance social security for construction workers, the state government on Wednesday held awareness and registration camps at three labor hubs in the city: Mohanlalganj, Buddheshwar, and Barabirwa (Aashiana).
The Uttar Pradesh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board organized these camps to promote welfare schemes for registered workers and facilitate on-the-spot registrations and renewals.
Under the direction of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the state has made it a priority to enhance the living conditions of construction workers, ensure their children receive education, provide health protection, and promote social dignity.
During the camps, workers learned about various initiatives including the Kanya Vivah Sahayta Yojana, Matritva, Shishu Evam Baalika Madad Yojana, Sant Ravidas Education Promotion Scheme, Nirmaan Kamgar Mrtyu Va Divyangta Sahayta Yojana, and the Atal Residential School Scheme. Eligible workers were registered on-site to access these benefits.
Special emphasis was placed on encouraging applications for admission to Classes 6 and 9 under the Atal Residential School Scheme for the 2026-27 academic year. Workers with a minimum of three years of registration with the board were particularly encouraged to apply.
The camps received support from the Vigyan Foundation and other agencies. Labour enforcement officers Shakti Rai, Santosh Kumar, and Sunil Kumar were also in attendance.
Additional Labour Commissioner (Lucknow region) Kalpana Srivastava expressed: “Registering with the board and ensuring timely renewals are essential for accessing benefits. Workers can register or renew their membership through CSC e-District Centres, CSC e-Governance Centres, or the board’s official website.”
