Abstract
Informal sector accounts for 93%
of total employment, 70% of nonagricultural
employment and 50%
of the country’s GDP. Yet, legislation
backed welfare measures
largely cover the organized workers
only. This paper attempts to
focus on the plight of unorganised
workers, initiatives taken thus far,
limitations of administering these
initiatives and suggests measures
for identification of genuine beneficiaries
and developing effective
service delivery systems based on
authors’ field experiences.
