This recognition was presented at the World Social Security Forum (WSSF) 2025 held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The award acknowledges India&#8217;s remarkable progress in expanding social security coverage to over 940 million citizens, as recognized by the International Labour Organization (ILO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%88_Surge_in_Social_Security_Coverage\"><\/span>\ud83d\udcc8 Surge in Social Security Coverage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Union Minister for Labour &amp; Employment and Youth Affairs &amp; Sports, Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, highlighted India&#8217;s historic expansion in social security coverage. From a mere 19% in 2015, the coverage has surged to 64.3% in 2025, benefiting over 940 million citizens. This achievement underscores India&#8217;s commitment to inclusive growth and strengthening its social protection framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%92%BB_Digital_Infrastructure_Driving_Inclusion\"><\/span>\ud83d\udcbb Digital Infrastructure Driving Inclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A significant factor contributing to this achievement is India&#8217;s robust digital infrastructure. The e-Shram portal, a National Digital Database, serves as a &#8216;One-Stop Solution&#8217; connecting over 310 million unorganised workers with social welfare schemes through a multilingual, seamless interface. Additionally, the National Career Service (NCS) portal bridges job seekers and employers, facilitating access to employment opportunities while retaining social security coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%8F%9B%EF%B8%8F_EPFO_and_ESIC_Pillars_of_Social_Security\"><\/span>\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f EPFO and ESIC: Pillars of Social Security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Employees&#8217; Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) and Employees&#8217; State Insurance Corporation (ESIC) play pivotal roles in providing healthcare, insurance, and pension benefits to India&#8217;s vast workforce. These institutions are evolving to meet modern demands, ensuring comprehensive social protection for all citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%8C%90_Indias_Global_Leadership_in_Social_Security\"><\/span>\ud83c\udf10 India&#8217;s Global Leadership in Social Security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Following this achievement, India now holds 30 votes in the General Assembly of ISSA, the highest vote share for any country, further solidifying its leadership in global social security governance.

The Unorganised Workers&#8217; Social Security Act, 2008, was a pioneering step in providing social security to unorganised workers. This was later replaced by The Code on Social Security, 2020, which consolidated and amended laws relating to social security to extend benefits to all employees and workers, irrespective of their sector. These legislative frameworks laid the foundation for the comprehensive social protection system in place today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%F0%9F%93%8C_Key_Takeaways_from_%E2%80%9CIndia_Honoured_with_ISSA_Award_2025%E2%80%9D\"><\/span>\ud83d\udccc Key Takeaways from &#8220;India Honoured with ISSA Award 2025&#8221;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>No.<\/th><th>Key Takeaway<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>1.<\/td><td>India received the ISSA Award 2025 for &#8216;Outstanding Achievement in Social Security&#8217;.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2.<\/td><td>Social security coverage increased from 19% in 2015 to 64.3% in 2025, covering over 940 million citizens.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>3.<\/td><td>The e-Shram portal connects over 310 million unorganised workers to social welfare schemes.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4.<\/td><td>EPFO and ESIC provide healthcare, insurance, and pension benefits to India&#8217;s workforce.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5.<\/td><td>India now holds the highest vote share in the ISSA General Assembly with 30 seats.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">India social security expansion<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs_Frequently_Asked_Questions\"><\/span>FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.
