Guwahati: A number of surveys on northeastern states like Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh and Mizoram have revealed that Employees' State Insurance (ESI) Scheme, which could not be implemented so far, can be considered for implementation.
A detailed discussion on the issue like these was held at a national seminar by the Employees' State Insurance Corporation at ITA Pragjyotika Centre on Thursday as part of its year long Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
To provide social security for workers in the organized sectors, the Employees' State Insurance Act was introduced in 1948 to provide health insurance schemes and reimbursement of medical bills among others functions.
Addressing the occasion, RP Gilani, member of ESIC said, "ESIC is contributing considerably for insured persons and members for years now and it would also look for Private Public Partnership (PPP) with different health sectors of the state."
