Common reasons why construction workers fail to receive the benefits under Shrama Samarthya Toolkit

Exclusion owing to eligibility conditions

  1. Labor has to be registered as a construction worker 

  2. Labor must be within 55 years of age 

  3. Labor has undergone and completed training in various skills like masonry, plumbing, carpentry, and more at government-established skill development centers

Exclusion owing to scheme related
  1. Unskilled workers and helpers are not eligible for toolkits 
Exclusion owing to on-ground implementation
  1. Some individuals who work as masons might label themselves as just 'helpers'. Masons receive kits while helpers don't.

  2. This benefit is seasonal and involves the department contacting organizations, informing them about the provision of mason kits, painter kits, etc. Organizations are then instructed to organize their documents accordingly. This initiative has been in place for the past 2-3 years, specifically in 2021 for masons, 2022 for painters, and the details for the year 2023 are yet to be declared.
