UP NAREDCO Employing 1Lakh Migratory Workers

To financially support returned migrant workers, the UP wing of NAREDCO will now employ one lakh labourers at various real estate projects in UP. On June 26th at Sector 94, Supernova project site, NAREDCO-UP will give letters of employment to construction workers. NAREDCO-UP identified workers from nearly 63 different districts and provided them the transport to successfully placed them at the construction sites. The state government had provided a database of about 12 lakh labourers to the NAREDCO-UP and out of which 1 lakh workers were identified to be immediately absorbed in the construction sites. NAREDCO-UP has filtered through the database and identified labouers who can instantly start working at real estate projects. Commenting on this development, President, NAREDCO-UP and Chairman Supertech, RK Arora said, “Many workers faced a tough times due to joblessness after the COVID-19 situation. A large number of people have left for their hometowns but now they have come back to UP. To ensure, they get work and earn their livelihood to support families back home, we have made a database of nearly one lakh labourers who will immediately get absorbed in the construction sites of real estate projects in the state. This will not only help workers but also the real estate developers in UP who need to speedup the work at their projects which came to a grinding halt due to the COVID-19 crisis.” There are 250 developer members in the state chapter of the body and it is in the process of creating a Group of Members for employing these migrant workers in under-construction real estate projects. This will also help to speed up the work on projects where the work came to a grinding halt after the nation-wide lockdown was announced and many workers returned to their hometowns. Many workers are now coming back to the construction sites and looking forward to start the work. The builder’s body will also conduct skill development programmes for these migrant labourers to absorb them in the real estate industry. Many workers who has no prior experience to work on construction sites at real estate projects are likely to get benefited with this.
