Agartala, May 5 (FD) A steady expansion of social security coverage has reinforced confidence among workers in Tripura, as recent figures highlight the continued role of institutional support systems in safeguarding livelihoods during crises.

The Employees State Insurance Corporation (ESIC), a statutory body set up in 1948, has reported the successful disbursement of financial assistance to workers and their families in Tripura for March 2026. According to an official statement issued by Samar Das, Manager of the Tripura branch under the Guwahati Regional Office, a total of ₹7,30,277 was distributed among 85 beneficiaries during the reporting period.

The assistance covered multiple categories designed to address diverse needs of insured workers. These included Sickness Benefits for employees unable to work due to certified illness, Temporary and Permanent Disablement Benefits for those affected by workplace injuries, and Dependents Benefits aimed at supporting families of deceased insured individuals. Additionally, Maternity Benefits were provided to women employees, ensuring financial stability during pregnancy and postnatal care.
