Must Read

India’s social security coverage has increased from 19 per cent in 2015 to 64.3 per cent in 2025. According to the latest data from the International Labour Organisation’s ILOSTAT, the coverage reflects a 45 percentage point surge over the past decade. Recognising these efforts, the ILO acknowledged India’s achievement and officially published on its dashboard that over 94 crore people are now covered under at least one social protection benefit. In terms of beneficiary count, India now ranks second in the world, providing social protection to around 94 crore citizens. The Director General ILO, Gilbert F. Houngbo, praised India’s focused welfare policies for the poor and labour class under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership.
 
While holding a bilateral discussion with the DG, ILO on the sidelines of the International Labour Conference in Geneva, Labour and Employment Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya highlighted the pro-poor and labour welfare schemes undertaken by the Modi Government over the past eleven years. He said, this remarkable achievement stands as a testament to the visionary leadership of Mr Modi and the relentless efforts of the Government in building an inclusive and rights-based social protection ecosystem. He said the increase marks the fastest expansion in social protection coverage worldwide, reflecting the Government’s unwavering commitment to empowering the last mile and fulfilling the promise of leaving no one behind.
