Health Check-up (A.B.O.C.W.W.B)

Health Check-up (A.B.O.C.W.W.B) gives financial support of ₹5,000 once every year to registered construction workers in Assam for their annual health check-up at any hospital. The Assam Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board runs this scheme under the Labour Welfare Department of the Government of Assam.

The scheme stays open for all building and other construction workers who keep their Board membership active. A worker can claim the yearly amount for a health check-up at any hospital of choice, which helps in staying fit and productive on the job.

Health Check-up (A.B.O.C.W.W.B) - Overview

This welfare scheme is meant for the hard-working people in the construction sector of Assam. The Assam Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, working under the Labour Welfare Department, looks after the whole process of registration, application and payment.

Because the construction trade is physically demanding, regular health screening is very important. This scheme makes sure that a registered worker does not have to worry about the cost of an annual medical check-up. The benefit is paid directly to the worker's account after approval.
