NEW DELHI: The government has pulled out a 2014 proposal to provide identification numbers to workers from the the unorganised sector after facing all round criticism for not doing much for migrant labour hit hard by the Covid-19 lockdown.

The new look ‘Unorganised Worker Identification Number (U-WIN)’ will be seeded with Aadhaar and have expanded coverage. Besides, it would include other information such as qualifications and skill set of the worker.
