“I have discussed the same with the CM and the state will see some allocation in the budget for the same,” said Mr Khader inaugurating the 'Prathibha Puraskar' for children of Group D workers, organized by District Group D Workers' Association at NGO Hall, in Mangalore on Sunday.
Mr Khader opined that there is a need to include the government workers under health insurance scheme.
“Government employees lead a very calculated life within limited resources. In such a case even if one member of family falls sick, the entire family faces the consequence financially. Health insurance for them will come as a blessing,” he said adding that the work of the Group D is often not appreciated.
“It is the responsibility of the administrative classes to ensure well-being of the Group D section,” he said
