AI SummaryFinancial Assistance (Kanyadaan) on the Occasion of Marriage of Daughter offers ₹51,000 to workers diagnosed with silicosis by the Haryana Silicosis Board. This money helps cover the wedding costs for up to three daughters of an eligible worker.
Haryana Labour Welfare Board runs this scheme for families facing the health and money problems that come with silicosis. The cash benefit is paid through the official process on the labour department website, and eligible workers can apply for the support as and when each daughter gets married.
Financial Assistance (Kanyadaan) on the Occasion of Marriage of Daughter
Silicosis is a serious and incurable lung disease that is often found in people working at stone crushers or in mines. Haryana recognises it as a notifiable disease under the Factories Act, 1948, and the relevant construction worker laws. Once the Silicosis Diagnosis Board confirms the condition, the Labour Department helps workers get the required medical care, either through ESI hospitals or district level medical facilities. For resources not available locally, the department also helps with treatment payments.
Workers should keep an eye on the common signs of silicosis. These include:
- Severe shortness of breath that makes daily work hard
- Frequent fatigue and tiredness even after light work
- Loss of appetite, known as anorexia
- Chest pain, often with a dry cough that does not bring up anything
- Breathing failure and related complications in later stages
