The Government of West Bengal has implemented various **Social Security Schemes** aimed at providing **income security** for workers in the unorganised sector. These schemes help during challenging times such as old age, survivorship, incapacity, disability, child-rearing, gender inequality, and health care needs. The key schemes include:
- State Assisted Scheme of Provident Fund for Unorganised Workers (SASPFUW)
- West Bengal Unorganised Sector Workers’ Health Security Scheme (WBUSWHSS)
- Social Security Scheme for Construction Workers (BOCWA)
- West Bengal Transport Workers Social Security Scheme (WBTWSSS)
- West Bengal Bidi Workers’ Welfare Scheme (WBBWWS)
However, many face challenges as the benefits and their scope vary significantly among these schemes. This leads to confusion in eligibility and benefit distribution. Additionally, the registration process can be complex and difficult for beneficiaries, particularly those with low literacy levels.
