Gig workers welfare board

The manifesto promised a Gig Workers Welfare Board to oversee welfare and rights of gig workers. Approved-source evidence shows national movement on gig-worker social security, including central measures for platform-worker registration on e-Shram, identity cards and proposed health-care benefits. PRS records that some states have drafted or enacted separate gig and platform worker frameworks with welfare boards, showing what a fulfilment mechanism would look like. However, no approved-source evidence was found that Madhya Pradesh has established a state Gig Workers Welfare Board, notified a state law or created a dedicated welfare fund for gig workers. The verdict is pending because the promise is not yet evidenced but the term is still underway. Budget: no MP-specific allocation, welfare fund or utilisation evidence for a gig-workers board was found in this pass.
