Executive Summary

“The Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation Of Employment And Conditions Of Service) Act” was enforced in the year 2002 in and The Building and Other Construction Workers Board (BOCW board) was established in the year 2003.The Board was constituted with the objective to conduct welfare programmes/schemes for those workers working in factories or any other commercial organizations having worker strength of ten employees.Registration of construction labour is done with the Board and various welfare schemes benefits are given individually and jointly. Various Welfare schemes are run through the CESS amount collected from construction employer .

The cess is levied at a rate not exceeding two percent of the cost of construction incurred by an employer through CESS act1996. Kerala board is the oldest which (28 years) followed by Tamilnadu ( 22 years) and then Madhya Pradesh (16 years old).

The cess amount is being regularly collected and there has been a decrease in Cess amount from 2014-2015 to 2017-2018 from 303.58 crores to 281.95 crores in the year 2017- 2018.Highest Cess amount was received in the year 2016-2017 of 347.0 crores.

There has been a decrease in the difference between Cess Collection and its use since 2015 to 2018.There has been marked decline in the difference amount in the years 2016-2017 to 2017-2018 from 208.22 crores to 71.94 crores.Hence it’s a positive step taken by government in the recent years as BOCW registered labourers are getting benefitted by various schemes.

In terms of CESS collection districts , and ,,Sagar,,,, and Sigrauli are in top 10 districts .,Malanpur(Bhind) and Agar are in the bottom 10 districts in terms of Collection of Cess.In Pithampur and Malanpur(Bhind)there is no CESS Collection.

Among the of top 10 highest CESS Collecting districts.Singrauli,Khandwa and Chhindwara districts are in the top three districts which are performing good as there is less difference between CESS Collection and expenditure.

Neemuch, , are in the top three districts which is performing satisfactory where expenditure is more than the CESS Collection. is performing the best as it has the highest number of beneficiaries. Damoh,Rajgarh and Harda are the top 3 districts in this category of performance in a satisfactory manner where the difference between CESS collection and distribution is the minimal.

Bhopal and Indore districts have highest difference in terms of CESS Collection and Distribution. Bhopal,Indore and Jabalpur are the districts where CESS Collection is among the top 3 districts whereas the expenditure in terms of received benefit to registered beneficiaries is very less.

Analyzing the Cess Collection amount in other states Karnataka Board has the highest amount of about 2225 Crores followed by Delhi Board 1667 Crores and Uttar Pradesh about 1580 Crores.

MadhyaPradesh ranks 6th among nine selected states in the study in terms of the difference between Cess collection and its distribution from lowest difference to highest difference and 2nd in terms of expenditure as per the data of the year 2015. Uttar Pradesh has the highest number (30Lakhs) of registered labour followed by Madhya Pradesh which has (24Lakhs) and Tamilnadu at third with (23Lakhs MadhyaPradesh has the Highest number of schemes (23) followed by Uttar Pradesh (20 schemes) and Orissa of 17 schemes as per the data of the year 2015.

Since 2013-2014 there has been a decrease in the number of registered labour from 168225 to 136857 labourers but there has been a manifold increase between the years 2016-2017 to 2017-2018 from 53010 labourers to 136857 with an increase of 83847 labourers in a year. Uttar Pradesh and Delhi have good progressive and Gender Sensitive schemes.In Uttar Pradesh under “Balika Aashirwaad” scheme on the birth of a Girl Child Rs.25,000 is given and disabled girl child gets Rs.50,000.MadhyaPradesh has separate provisions of educational of Girl Children as compared to male child from 1st to Post Graduation level. MadhyaPradesh has a good provision related to disability of the labour at par with scheme provision of Uttar Pradesh which has the highest provision but there is no provision of pension for disabled labour as available in Uttar Pradesh and Delhi.In Madhya Pradesh there is Skill Building Training for labourers and the Dependent family members of labourers as well. Skill building of Dependent family members is not there in other states. 86% of the respondents had information of the Schemes run by BOCW.This response doesn’t ensure that they had information of all schemes.Highest respondents 22% had information on marriage assistance scheme of registered labour followed by 21% on maternity benefit scheme and 18% on medical assistance scheme and 16% on educational assistance.

Rationale of the study

Construction workers are one of the most vulnerable segments of the unorganized sector labour in .Their work is of temporary nature, the relationship between employer and the employee is temporary and working hours are uncertain. Basic amenities and welfare facilities provided to these workers are also inadequate. The nature of job is such that the risk to life and limb is also inherent. In the absence of adequate statutory provisions it is difficult to get the requisite information regarding the number and nature of accidents as well as to fix responsibility or to take corrective measures. Hence the BOCW Act was passed and its implementation was taken up by different states at different points of time. But even after 17 years of the Act, the distribution of benefits is skewed and many workers continue to be outside the social security net. Hence there is a need to re-examine the processes and see if there requires any change in the present system apart from seeing the schemes in other states. The study was conceived with this objective in view.

Recommendations

1.There should be sustained increase in CESS Collection and its distribution:The cess amount is being regularly collected and there has been a decrease in Cess amount from 2014- 2015 to 2017-2018 from 303.58 crores to 281.95 crores in the year 2017-2018.There has been an increase in CESS amount only in the year 2016-2017 of 347.0 crores. The contribution mechanisms need to be made more robust for a more sustainable approach. Hence timely Monitoring needs to be done by officials who collect it.

2.There should a decrease in difference between CESS Collection and distribution in selected districts of MadhyaPradesh: Bhopal and Indore have highest difference in terms of Cess Collection and Distribution. These districts should decrease the difference by ensuring availability of schemes to eligible registered beneficiaries. Timely monitoring needs to be done in a timely manner so that various timely interventions can be done to reduce these differences.

3. Special plans should be made of districts where there is no CESS collection: In Pithampur and Malanpur(Bhind)there is no CESS Collection,hence there is a need of understanding the reasons behind it so that preventive timely actions can be taken.

4. Publicity of all schemes of BOCW and availing its benefits by registered labour: More publicity of the available schemes followed by registration of labourers and clarity in the required document to avail these schemes as among various 22 schemes majority of the beneficiaries are of Maternity and Wedding assistance scheme.The Department needs to increase its visibility through better structured IEC programmes. More information needs to be made through Lok Sewa Kendras or M.P Online as there is less information on this process.The Board may, with the approval of the State Government, open as many field offices as it may consider necessary for the efficient discharge of its functions under the Act.This provision can be utilized for opening of field offices at block level to increase the awareness about various schemes through more intensive IEC.

5. Satisfactory performance indicators of districts needed to be decided and to be done in a decided period:Satisfactory performance indicators of performance of districts need to be decided which would compare CESS Collection,distribution and number of beneficiaries as well.Quarterly analysis needs to be done by each district and needs to be submitted to BOCW.If we compare it with selected other states MadhyaPradesh state is performing well in terms of expenditure and number of schemes meant for construction labourers by BOCW seeing the data of other nine states.MadhyaPradesh can perform better if scheme benefits are more distributed rather than concentrating only in some schemes.Detailed analysis of all schemes needs to be done as well.

6.Registration of labour and availing of schemes benefit to be done in a timely manner and transparency of process: Registration of labour and availing of various entitlements in a set time limit as it is dependent of the satisfaction of the authorised officer.The primary data states that registration of labour took around six months as well. In cases of rejection of application the labour should have information on the time limit of appeal so as to pursue the matter consistently and hereby reducing corruption.The applicant labour should have transparent information on his/her process of application and availing of various schemes amount through notifications in registered mobile no of labour. Reason for Rejection of the

28 An evaluation of the programmes run by the MPBOCW Board in MP 2019 application as it is mandatory to inform the reason for rejection of application that too in a written manner.

Suggestion for Improvement about the Registration Process based on Primary Data (refer to annexure 2.10) -33% of the respondents shared that there is a need of awareness about Scheme through Camp, News Paper etc.This information was given majorly by respondents of Sehore.25% of respondents shared that Registration needs to be done through M.P. Online. This was largely given by respondents of Jhabua (64%) as physical distance is an issue in this district as there are remote villages and cities. Inspite of the available system of Online Registration as people are not aware of this procedure hence the above mentioned percentage of respondents gave this suggestion. -There is a need of Publicity of the online available option of Registration of labour. 15% respondents shared that officials should timely complete the registration process. This indicates that the respondents didn’t had information of the time limit of 30 days as prescribed by Act and 14% respondents say that officials do not share clearly the required documents needed for registration. -Some 4% respondents indicated the bad behavior of the officials. If we combine both the percentage it is 33% which is a significant percentage indicating the need of working with officials in charge of this process by providing them training/orientation or monitoring their assigned duties in given deadline. -3% of respondents shared that there should be a reduction in the documents needed for registration. -2% of the respondents shared that in information should be shared in Mobile about the status of their application and reason for number doing the registration process. -4% of the respondents stated that were given were of appointment of Grievance redressal officer, Establishment of Helpline Number, Registration at Panchayat level & Bribe to be reduced.

7. MadhyaPradesh should increase its available scheme of Maternal Assistance scheme from 1400 and 1000 rupees in Rural and Urban respectively available : Madhya Pradesh should try to analyze and adopt the positive aspects of various schemes available in other states. Delhi and Uttar Pradesh have good package.Rs.30,000 is paid in Delhi.This would be helpful as Maternal and Infant Mortality rate is high in MadhyaPradesh.This can be given from the first trimester as well in form of Nutrition assistance or after Child Birth in the Neonatal period. It can introduce pension related schemes upon Disability of labour and Schemes specifically meant for the Girl Child development as available in Uttar Pradesh.

8. Madhyapradesh should have pension scheme of labourers:Currently MadhyaPradesh government doesn’t have a pension scheme for labourers.

9.More proactive role of CESS officer and labour officials: The Cess officer should mention the correct number of labourers during inspection and all required register and being filled by Employee/Contractor. Overseeing to be done of Muster roll, wages register deduction register, Overtime Register and issue of wage books and service certificates as per section 241 of the BOCW act by Chief inspector of Board.
