PASIGHAT, Jan 23: ADC Pasighat,Tatdo Borang today reviewed the progress of PMSYM (Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan) Yojna that provides for a minimum monthly assured pension of rupees 3000 for unorganized sector workers. After threadbare discussion, Borang was of the view that enrollments were below the expectation level. He admitted that unavailability of database of these unorganized sector workers was the main difficulty in approaching them directly. He however directed the concerned officers to carryout wide awareness cum enrollment drive in all administrative centers in the district, urging the targeted group to voluntarily register names.
Emphasizing upon the need for implementation of the scheme, ADC appealed the media fraternity for wide publicity stating that PMSYM is related to voluntary and periodic contribution based pension system meant for unorganized workers which include home based workers, street vendors, cobblers, rag pickers domestic workers etc who are in the age group of 18-40 yrs having monthly income of Rs. 15000 or bellow.
The meeting was attended by T. Ringu (LO), Astt. Employment Officer Ome Taggu, Registering Officer Tokmem Jamoh and others. DIPRO
