India Wins ISSA Award for Social Security Achievement
India was given a big award from the International Social Security Association (ISSA) for doing a great job with social security.
This means more people in India now get help with things like healthcare and pensions.
A main part of this was a new digital system called e-Shram, which helps workers get benefits.
The award was given at a big meeting in Malaysia.
The Minister in charge, Dr. Mandaviya, said this was thanks to the Prime Minister's plan to help everyone, especially those who need it most.
India received the ISSA Award for Outstanding Achievement in Social Security 2025.
The award recognizes India's progress in expanding social protection.
Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya received the award in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Social security coverage in India expanded from 19% to 64.3%.
The e-Shram portal was highlighted as a key factor in this achievement.
