Our Achievements
Our Camps
On 8th, we successfully distributed 480 e-Shram cards to beneficiaries in collaboration with Mr. Ramana Chary at Ravindra Bharathi, Lakdikapool. This event also doubled as a celebration of Mr. Ramana Chary’s 73rd birthday, a retired IAS officer.
Our team, along with 600 members of the Kalakarulu team, participated in the event, which was executed exceptionally well, making the program a grand and successful completion.
How We Work
Provide Social Security Schemes :
Why Social Security?
The Indian Constitution protects the rights of migrant workers, providing legal safeguards to ensure their interests are upheld, enabling them to lead dignified lives. However, despite millions of migrant workers moving across India, the constitutional safety net often fails to reach them. The government has introduced numerous initiatives and established a legal framework to safeguard migrants’ interests, focusing on their quality of life, social security, welfare, and access to decent work. Unfortunately, due to inadequate coordination between state and central authorities, migrant workers are frequently deprived of these fundamental constitutional right.
What services do we provide?
