“We will onboard auto, taxi, truck and other drivers on e-Shram portal and ensure 100% coverage of all drivers under insurance and other welfare programmes.”
Auto, taxi, truck and other drivers are eligible as unorganised/gig workers under the e-Shram portal (which integrates 14 welfare schemes including PMJJBY, PMSBY and AB-PMJAY) and are covered by the new Code on Social Security framework that brings platform and unorganised workers into the social-security net. App-based cab and auto drivers in particular gain coverage via the gig-worker provisions and Aggregator module. However, the pledge’s explicit bar of 100% coverage of all drivers under insurance and welfare programmes has not been achieved; registration and benefit linkage are still in progress. Partial.
We will expand the network of Garima Grahas to cater to the needs of transgender individuals. We will issue identity cards to ensure their recognition nationwide. Furthermore, all eligible transgender individuals will be covered under the Ayushman Bharat Yojana.
We will continue to prioritize the housing needs of divyangs under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, guaranteeing affordable and accessible housing solutions that cater to their unique requirements.
We will continue developing affordable, indigenous aids and assistive devices to make Bharat atmanirbhar in such equipment.
