Union Minister Bandaru Dattatreya says adequate funds will be released to provide best health services to labourers
Hyderabad: Union Minister for Labour & Employment Bandaru Dattatraya on Sunday said adequate funds would be granted for ESIC and PF services in order to provide best health services to workers and labourers of unorganised sectors across India.
Addressing the media here, Dattatraya said ‘Panchadeep’ (Pehchan, Online ESIC, Milap, Dhanwantari and Prathibha) scheme would be implemented to provide best services to the workers by upgrading and modernising the existing ESIC hospitals adopting latest technologies and through empanelled hospitals (Yashoda, Apollo, KIMS etc). He admitted that there was delay in allocating Universal Account Numbers (UAN) to all Provident Fund members drawing salary up to Rs 15,000. A mechanism would be in place and officials were asked to expedite the process of giving UAN immediately on submission of Aadhaar, other identity cards and bank account number online and transfer all their accounts details on their mobile phones.
Stating that the Centre would streamline the process, Dattatraya asked the officials concerned to expedite the process without harassing the companies which were failing to transfer information to the Labour department. Of 4,30,977 established employees, 29,000 members will get UAN soon. He also said so far PIN to 7.41 lakh members applied online was delivered. He declared that Rs 5 crore would be given to hospitals which had over 200 beds, Rs 3 crore for those up to 200 beds and Rs 50 lakhs for the hospitals having 50 beds capacity.
