On 03 December 2025, Don Bosco Migrant Services (DBMS) successfully organized an Unorganised Labour Welfare Board Registration Camp at Perumbakkam with the primary objective of facilitating access to government welfare schemes for unorganised sector workers. The camp was conducted as part of DBMS’s continued commitment to promoting the rights, dignity, and social security of migrant and unorganised labourers who often remain excluded from formal welfare mechanisms due to lack of awareness, documentation, or access to institutional support. The initiative aimed to bridge this gap by providing on-the-spot assistance for registration under the relevant Labour Welfare Boards.
The camp witnessed active participation from local workers engaged in various informal occupations. A total of 10 labourers were successfully registered during the programme. Among them, 7 workers were enrolled under the Construction Workers Welfare Board, while 3 workers were registered under the General Labour category. The DBMS team extended comprehensive support throughout the process, including verification of documents, guidance on eligibility criteria, assistance in filling application forms, and clarification on the benefits available under the respective welfare schemes. Special attention was given to ensuring that the workers clearly understood their entitlements, such as access to health benefits, educational assistance for children, financial support during emergencies, and other social security provisions offered by the government.
In addition to registration, the camp served as an awareness platform where workers were informed about the importance of being registered under the welfare boards and how such registration contributes to long-term social and economic security. The interaction between the DBMS team and the beneficiaries helped build trust and encouraged workers to actively engage with government-supported welfare mechanisms. The smooth coordination and participation reflected the growing need for such outreach initiatives among unorganised labour communities.
Overall, the Unorganised Labour Welfare Board Registration Camp at Perumbakkam was a meaningful and impactful initiative that strengthened DBMS’s ongoing efforts to support vulnerable labour groups. The programme not only facilitated access to essential welfare benefits but also reinforced DBMS’s commitment to empowering unorganised workers through awareness, advocacy, and sustained community engagement.
