India's social security coverage sees significant rise
India has jumped from covering just 19% of its people with social security in 2015 to over 64% in 2025. That means more than 94 crore people now get at least one government-backed benefit—think health insurance, pensions, or worker protections. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) has given a nod to these efforts, highlighting how targeted welfare schemes are making a real difference.
ILO's nod underscores India's commitment to social welfare
India now ranks second globally for social security coverage—a big deal for anyone who cares about fairness and support systems. These programs especially help the poor and working class, and the ILO's recognition puts India on the map for inclusive growth. Plus, with better international agreements, Indian professionals working abroad can keep their benefits—so it's not just good news at home but also for those chasing opportunities overseas.
