On 12th October 2025, Don Bosco Migrant Services (DBMS), in collaboration with the Unorganised Workers Federation, Chennai, organized a Tamil Nadu Unorganised Worker Welfare Board Registration Camp at Ezhil Nagar, Thuraipakkam. The initiative aimed to extend welfare benefits to unorganised labourers by assisting them with welfare board registration, updating their existing records, and facilitating access to social security schemes. The program was part of DBMS’s continuous efforts to empower migrant and unorganised workers by linking them with state welfare systems and ensuring their entitlements are properly accessed.
The camp saw active participation from local unorganised labourers engaged in various occupations such as construction, housekeeping, and sanitation. DBMS field staff and representatives from the Unorganised Workers Federation guided participants through the registration process, verified documents, and provided information about available welfare schemes including health insurance, pension benefits, and financial assistance for education and maternity support. Through this initiative, a total of 9 welfare board cards were distributed, and 7 new registrations were successfully completed, marking a meaningful contribution to the economic and social security of the workers.
The collaborative effort demonstrated effective coordination between DBMS, community leaders, and the Unorganised Workers Federation. The participants expressed gratitude for the hands-on assistance and awareness provided during the camp. The initiative not only strengthened trust within the community but also enhanced awareness about the rights and benefits available to workers in the unorganised sector.
Overall, the Welfare Board Registration Camp at Ezhil Nagar was a success, reflecting DBMS’s ongoing mission to promote inclusion, dignity, and empowerment among the migrant and unorganised workforce. The event reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to ensuring that every worker, regardless of background or employment status, can access the welfare provisions meant for their well-being and livelihood security.
