We’re exploring welfare linkages. Any successful local policy or pilot you can share?

1. Platform-led Initiatives – Some companies (e.g., Uber, Swiggy) offer accident insurance, health coverage, or income protection.
2. Government-backed Schemes –
   • e-Shram portal for unorganized workers.
   • Atal pension yojana
3. Cooperative Models – Worker-owned platforms or collectives that pool resources for insurance and welfare.
4. Public-Private Partnerships – Combining state subsidies with private service delivery (e.g., Ayushman Bharat).
5. Digital Solutions – Use of mobile apps or fintech for easy enrollment and benefit access (e.g., micro-insurance). (UPI)

These models aim to ensure income security, healthcare, and legal rights for informal workers.
