This seminar was specifically aimed at discussion on social security measures and welfare initiatives within the electronic manufacturing sector and adoption and impact of PMVBRY Scheme.

Rizwan Uddin encouraged the participants to ask questions freely and frankly about the Pradhan Mantri Viksit Bharat Rozgar Yojna (PMVBRY). The sequential queries of the participants made the session interactive. Employers got convinced to register themselves for the benefits of Part-A and Part-B of the Scheme (PMVBRY), which includes an incentive of one month's PF wages (maximum of Rs15000/-) for every newly joined employee and a sum of maximum Rs3000/- per additional employment generation, to the employer.

Overall rejection ratio also improved from 28% to less than 20% in this year. QR-code based online advance appointment booking system for PRO visits has been introduced in this year. Due to various measures initiated at Head Office and Regional Office level, average daily footfall in PRO has also reduced from 700-plus in previous year to approx. 300 at present.
