Bringing social security to Mumbai’s waste workers through government schemes

Geeta Ahire and other workers at Mumbai’s Material Recovery Facility benefit from government schemes like PMJJBY and PMSBY through Project Utthaan, an initiative by Hindustan Unilever and UNDP. This project helps them navigate enrollment challenges, ensuring financial security for unorganized sector workers. Safai Saathis, essential yet often overlooked, gain access to social protection schemes.
