Sindh Government to Launch Benazir Bhutto Mazdoor Card from January 1
The first phase will see to 625,000 cards being issued to labourers, which they hope to expand to five million cards later on.
Sindh Education and Labour Minister Saeed Ghani recently stated that the provincial government is issuing Benazir Bhutto Mazdoor Card from January 1, 2021. The first phase will see to 625,000 cards being issued to labourers, which they hope to expand to five million cards later on.
Saeed Ghani was representing the Sindh Government in the Benazir Bhutto Mazdoor Card Agreement between the Sindh Employees’ Social Security Institution (SESSI) and National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) at SESSI headquarters. It was signed by SESSI commissioner Ishaq Mehr and NADRA project director Anjum Khan Durrani.
In his statement about the welfare legislations that Sindh Government has enacted, Saeed Ghani said, “Sindh is the only province which has made 16 revolutionary laws in the labour department after the 18th Amendment and now we have entered into an agreement with NADRA for the ‘Benazir Bhutto Mazdoor Card’ to provide more facilities to workers and labourers.”
Ghani added that they plan to bring all the labourers into this network, and not just the ones who work at factories or mills. Even the ones who do their own work and fall in the category of labourer will be included in the network.
NADRA chairman Usman Yousuf Mobin mentioned that they would issue a “modern and flawless” smart card which would help workers.
“Through this smart card, we will be able to complete the process of computerised registration of workers and their children,” he said.
Labour secretary Rashid Solangi said that his department and SESSI had crossed a milestone, which would be an example in the history of the country.
