Haryana Principal Secretary, Labour Department, Mr. Rajeev Ranjan announced a significant initiative for the welfare of the laborers and workers in the state. The new system aims to streamline the application process for welfare schemes provided by the Haryana Labour Welfare Board and Haryana Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board.
According to Mr. Ranjan, the newly launched information system will furnish comprehensive details to beneficiaries of both boards, offering clear explanations for rejected applications through SMS notifications. Workers will now receive specific reasons for rejection, including information on document deficiencies or incomplete submissions.
The Principal Secretary said that this system ensures immediate responsiveness. Every rejected application will now be accompanied by detailed SMS explanations, clarifying the grounds for rejection, such as document inadequacies or incomplete information. Reminder SMS notifications will be sent on the 7th and 14th days following an objection, prompting timely responses. On the 21st day, a final reminder SMS will be sent, emphasizing the need to address objections promptly to avoid automatic rejection. Workers can conveniently reply using the provided link.
Mr. Ranjan said that this system not only simplifies communication but also facilitates beneficiaries in quickly addressing any issues with their applications. The objective is to ensure that every worker in Haryana can access their entitled benefits smoothly. The initiative is expected to reduce the time and effort spent by workers on the application process, enabling them to promptly improve applications and receive more benefits.
He further explained that in the previous system, workers only received rejection information via SMS without explanations, leaving them unable to identify mistakes and requiring repeated calls or in-person visits to labour offices. The new initiative aims to alleviate such difficulties and empower workers to apply again with improved applications more efficiently.
