A labor department initiated a scheme "Cycle Anudan Yojana" in 2018 for the construction workers of Madhya Pradesh and provided them financial assistance for a cycle.
Cycle Anudaan Yojana - Introduction
Saikil Anudaan Yojana is an initiative by the Labour Department, Madhya Pradesh. Its aim is to provide transportation facilities to construction workers registered under the MP Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board.
The government recognized that labourers working in Madhya Pradesh often have to travel long distances to reach their workplaces. Many of these labourers lack proper means of transportation to reach the work site, forcing them to rely on alternative methods and incur additional expenses. This, in turn, increases their financial burden.
