Abstract
The objective of this Non Lending
Technical Assistance (NLTA) is to assist the Government Of
India (GOI) to formulate - and where relevant initiate
implementation of - financially and administratively
feasible policy responses to address the large gap in social
security coverage that currently prevails in India. The
ultimate objective of this policy would be to gradually
expand financially sustainable income protection through
social insurance for lower income households in the
unorganized sector for major risks including health,
disability, death and old age. The NLTA was initiated in
response to a request from the Ministry of Labour, GOI and
formally requested through a letter from DEA in late 2006.
At the IMT review of the NLTA in 2007, the CMU requested
periodic updates on progress and this note is the first of those.
