“It is a forgone conclusion

that Domestic Helps and

Caregivers are irrefutably

becoming inescapable

members of the house-

holds ……….. ………., its

time they are given their

dues in terms of salaries,

privileges and dignity”

- Pradeep Bajaj, Head R&P

A WORD FROM THE DIRECTOR: MR RAJIV SHARMA

Domestic workers are at the bottom of the pyramid amongst the skilled

work force in the country. They constitute a majority of the informally

employed and are exposed to most of the vulnerabilities in terms of in-

stability of jobs leading to unsecure lives. Domestic workers are the

backbone of any household and their contribution in our lives is indispen-

sable. Despite this, they are the most ill-treated and neglected section of workers.

These are mostly females, who take up these jobs in their teens, are not paid mini-

mum wages, face discrimination and work in non-conducive environments.

Domestic Workers Sector Skill Council is a platform of abled and aware individuals

who bring the necessary credibility and knowledge on the table to uplift this neglected

section of society. It is doing so by bringing all stakeholders to work together in two

directions; one to take initiatives to ensure domestic workers go through formal train-

ing to upgrade their skills and to frame regulations for formalisation of this sector.

It is imperative that all support in terms of handholding, up-skilling, certification

and spreading awareness in the domestic workers community across the country is

done and initiatives are taken to scale it up.

It is great to be witnessing the growth of DWSSC and wish that its influence and

impact reach more and more stakeholders and transform the lives of domestic workers.

tional levels, the skill gaps should be identified with a view to achieve the organisational objectives.
