IT services and consulting firm Accenture has partnered with the Maharashtra Government to help manage the State's administration of labour laws and create a management system to support services like renewal of licenses to filing online grievances through an interactive portal. The three-year contract will be to implement a management framework and technology system to provide services, including registration and filing of applications, by building an online portal and creating a database to provide financial inclusion to unorganised workers using biometric signatures.
This phase will be integrated with the Unique Identification Program (UID) of the Government of India.
“Accenture is proud to have been selected by the Department of Labour to support such an ambitious and innovative project,” said Mr Krishna Giri, Managing Director for Accenture's Health & Public Service business in India.
Dr Kavita Gupta, Principal Secretary of the Government of Maharashtra, Labour Department, said that this project aims at arriving at a win-win situation both for the employers, in the organised and the unorganised sectors, as well as employees.
