Govt. has started this J&K Muhafiz Scheme because unorganized sector consists of the wage paid labourers. They have seasonal nature of employment and also their enterprises have scattered locations. Unorganized sector workers have low income, unstable jobs, lack of protection from various legislations or trade unions. So J&K govt. has launched Muhafiz scheme.
