Orissa is pretty much famous for providing workers for construction sites across India and that’s the reason we see so many huge construction sites. But, ever imagined how difficult worker’s life is? They do not have pucca ghar, no facilities like power, water, sanitation and shelter, irony is that the workers who constructs strong buildings for others, they only do not have houses to live in. To overcome these problems there is the scheme by Orissa Government i.e. “Nirman Shramik Pucca Ghar Yojana” under which these shramik workers are eligible for the grant by government for the construction of houses and get access to facilities. The scheme kept minimum registration requirement that the workers should have is 5 years, if worker is registered for minimum of 5 years only then he is eligible for the grant.
