Shramik Parivahan Yojana (GBOCWWB) gives registered construction workers in Gujarat a subsidized bus pass so they can travel easily from Kadianaka to their workplace without spending too much on daily commute.
Gujarat Building and Other Construction Worker's Welfare Board (GBOCWWB) offers this transport support in 2026 through municipal corporation offices in Ahmedabad, Vadodara, Surat, and Rajkot. A worker pays only 20% of the pass cost while the board pays the remaining 80%, and the pass can be taken for a month, a quarter, six months, or a full year.
Shramik Parivahan Yojana (GBOCWWB) - Introduction
Shramik Parivahan Yojana is a state level scheme run by GBOCWWB under the Labour, Skill Development & Employment Department of the Government of Gujarat. It helps hard working construction laborers with an affordable way to reach the worksite every day. Bus passes are issued through the local municipal corporation at a concessional rate for commuting from Kadianaka, the labour assembly point, to the place of work.
Daily travel costs take away a big share of a construction worker's wages. With the 80% subsidy on the bus pass, a registered worker keeps more of the money earned at the site.
