Following the successful completion of the E-Shram Card training session on 14th April at Assistant Commissioner’s Office – Rajahmundry, PARA Director, Fr. Thomas Pallithanam, convened a focused staff meeting to chart the way forward. During the session, he provided clear and practical directives to the field staff regarding the implementation of the E-Shram registration drive in their respective villages.
Fr. Thomas outlined a structured strategy to ensure the campaign’s effectiveness, emphasizing timely execution and quality outreach. He also set a tangible target: to complete the registration of a designated number of unorganised workers before May Day—a symbolic and significant milestone in the workers’ rights calendar.
The meeting provided a platform for staff to share field-level challenges, fostering an open and constructive dialogue. Fr. Thomas and the team jointly explored possible solutions, reinforcing a spirit of collaboration and collective responsibility.
A key decision emerged from this session: the upcoming May Day celebration would be held in solidarity with migrant workers. As part of the event, E-Shram Cards would be formally distributed to poor and unorganised workers, underscoring the day’s importance and the commitment to worker welfare.
This plan, finalised under the leadership of Fr. Thomas, reflects a strategic and compassionate approach to grassroots engagement—aiming to make the campaign not just successful in numbers, but also deeply meaningful for the communities it seeks to serve.
