The Social Protection Initiative at Dvara Research is a policy initiative that aims to conduct research that will inform the design and implementation of a universal social security system. We believe a universal social security system is one that protects households and individuals against the vulnerabilities faced across the life cycle. At the same time, it is important to keep in mind India’s unique demographic and economic realities. These vulnerabilities are the outcomes of complex interactions of being exposed to a threat, of a threat materializing, and of lacking the defences or resources to deal with a threat.

The need for greater clarity on institutions set up under the Draft, particularly the Central Board of Trustees and the National Social Security Board for Unorganised Workers. 2. The definition of “worker” and “employee” under the present draft.
