The Chhattisgarh Government has initiated the 'Mukhyamantri Shramik Sian Sahayata Yojana' to provide financial assistance to the state's laborers. Under this scheme, construction workers are provided with financial assistance by the state government. 

The membership of registered construction workers under the Chhattisgarh Building and Construction Workers Welfare Board automatically ends when they reach the age of 60, as per the provisions of the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act 1946. In such cases, before the construction workers retire from the membership of the board, the state government provides a lump sum amount to them under this scheme to support their better living.

Labor officer Shri G K Pandey informed that 26 laborers in the Mahasamund district are registered under this scheme. After the examination, a lump sum amount of Rs 20,000 each has been provided to 10 registered laborers. The documents of the remaining registered laborers are being examined.

It is worth mentioning that under the scheme, the state government is providing a lump sum amount of Rs 10,000 as financial assistance to construction workers who have completed 60 years of age before retiring from membership of the board to live a better life. However, on the occasion of the new year, Chief Minister Shri Bhupesh Baghel announced to the hike the amount from Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 while interacting with the laborers in Raipur. The beneficiaries will have to apply online or offline to avail the benefits of this scheme. By receiving the increased amount, laborers can live their lives in a better way without depending on anyone else.
