Speaking to reporter after distributing e-shram and Ayushman Bharat scheme identity cards to a few beneficiaries here on Sunday, she said the State government should come forward to conduct special registration camps.

“Schemes that are beneficial for a large number of people should not be viewed through a narrow lens of whether it is a State or Central government scheme. It has to be implemented without any partisanship,” she said.

The family member of a registered worker in the unorganised sector can avail of ₹2 lakh, in case of death or permanent disability of the worker and accidental insurance of ₹1 lakh for partial disability.
