The Haryana labour and Employment Minister, Capt. Abhimanyu on Thursday said that Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board would be made a professional Board by introducing required changes in it so as to make it an effective board and the benefit of its schemes reach every individual working in the field of construction.
Capt Abhimanyu said that the schemes of the Board would be made online by computerisation of the Board’s functioning so that the beneficiaries would not have to visit headquarter for getting their personal information updated and for taking other information of the schemes.He said that after setting up a Nodal Institute of the Board in the State, in future such institutes would be set up in all districts. Haryana Academy for Construction Workers would be set up in the State at a cost of Rs100 crore on the pattern of Hyderabad Academy for Construction for starting Skill Development Programme for construction workers.
The entire expenditure of skill development of these workers would be borne by the government. As these workers would not be able to work during the training period, their wages would also be paid by the Board, said the Minister.
