Adhikaar interventions

Ayushman Bharat schemes – community-based collaborative approach of Adhikaar Mitras
In India, only 41% of the population has health insurance. The CSR team of Trombay prioritized covering unorganized sector workers under Ayushman Bharat schemes, providing family medical insurance of Rs. 5 lakhs per year. From September 2023 to April 2024, Adhikaar Mitras organized 120 camps, benefiting over 40,000 individuals (8,000 families).

E-Shram scheme for workers – identity of labour and benefits of accidental insurance
Unorganized sector workers often lack recognition as labor. The E-Shram card was introduced to identify labor in various informal sectors. Adhikaar Mitras organized enrolment drives, covering more than 12,000 unorganized sector workers.

Food security benefits for unorganized sector workers. Errors in ration cards and Aadhaar seeding have excluded many genuine families from food security schemes. Adhikaar Mitras support vulnerable families to enroll, spread awareness on entitlements, and resolve grievances. Over 1.5 lakh beneficiaries were covered under this campaign.

 

 

Bottom line

Our financial inclusion initiatives are crucial in bridging the gap between marginalized communities and financial services. Through the formation of SHGs, financial literacy programs, and skill development, Tata Power is empowering individuals and fostering sustainable economic growth. The efforts of Adhikaar Mitras in implementing schemes like Ayushman Bharat, E-Shram, and food security benefits have further strengthened their impact on unorganized sector workers. Their continued efforts will undoubtedly lead to further positive outcomes for communities across the regions they serve
