SHRAMIK NYAY, a visionary initiative aimed at safeguarding the rights and dignity of laborers, encompasses a range of transformative measures to uplift workers across various sectors. Let’s delve into the key components of this comprehensive scheme
1. SWASTHYA ADHIKAR
Recognizing the fundamental right to health, SHRAMIK NYAY introduces a groundbreaking Right to Health law, ensuring universal healthcare coverage for all citizens. This comprehensive healthcare package includes essential diagnostics, medicines, treatment, surgeries, and rehabilitative and palliative care, guaranteeing access to quality healthcare services without financial barriers.
2. SHRAM KA SAMMAN
Upholding the principle of fair wages and dignity of labor, SHRAMIK NYAY establishes a national minimum wage of Rs. 400 per day, applicable to all workers, including those under the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA). This measure ensures that workers receive just compensation for their labor, lifting them out of poverty and promoting socio-economic equality.
3. SHAHARI ROZGAR GUARANTEE
Addressing the employment challenges in urban areas, SHRAMIK NYAY introduces an Employment Guarantee Act tailored for urban regions. This initiative provides a safety net for urban workers by guaranteeing employment opportunities, thereby mitigating unemployment and fostering inclusive growth in urban centers.

To provide social security to unorganized workers, SHRAMIK NYAY implements life insurance and accident insurance schemes. These initiatives offer financial protection to workers and their families in the event of unforeseen accidents or fatalities, ensuring their well-being and livelihood security.
5. SURAKSHIT ROZGAR
In a move to protect the interests of workers, SHRAMIK NYAY aims to halt the contractualization of employment in core government functions.
