# Delhi launches mobile vans to deliver welfare to workers 2026-09-23T03:21:49+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Tuesday flagged off four ‘Mobile Namo Shramik Seva Kendra Vans’ from the Delhi Secretariat as part of the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’. The mobile units will bring registration, renewal, document help and scheme guidance directly to construction sites and labour hubs, so workers no longer need to make repeated trips to government offices. Gupta said workers are crucial to the city’s development, and the government has a responsibility to take services to them. A fleet of 13 vans, one per district, will visit construction sites and labour hubs offering on-the-spot registration and information on welfare schemes. The initiative will also be extended to rest areas for gig workers. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Delhi’s unorganised workers, construction labour, gig workers, domestic helps, number an estimated 15 lakh and are among the most hard-to-reach beneficiaries of state welfare. Most lack the time or documents to visit faraway government offices. The new mobile vans mirror a model first tried in Karnataka under its ‘Bhagyalakshmi’ scheme and later in Gujarat’s ‘Shramik Seva Kendras’, where doorstep registration lifted enrolment in health and accident insurance by over 30 per cent in pilot districts. The Delhi government’s own labour department data from 2023 showed fewer than 40 per cent of registered construction workers had ever accessed the building-and-other-construction-workers cess fund. The real test is logistics: keeping 13 vans manned, fuelled and stocked with forms across a city where construction sites shift every few weeks. The Labour Department will publish the first month’s registration numbers by 15 October. ## Coverage - newindianexpress.com Tags: Delhi, labour department, Namo Shramik Seva Kendra Vans, Rekha Gupta, Seva Sankalp Abhiyan Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-launches-mobile-vans-to-deliver-welfare-to-workers/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
