Abstract
The unorganized sector of the economy refers to the house-hold based manufacturing activity and small scale and tiny sector of industry. An unorganized sector is one in which there is no stability in profits or gains. Its production is limited and it is confined to limited area. It requires less man power and investment. The handicrafts, artisan professions, khadi and village industries, such as handloom sector, beedi making, agarbatti making, hand paper manufacture and match box industries etc., can be located in the unorganized sector of the Indian economy. The National Commission for Enterprises in the Unorganized Sector (NCEUS) was established by the Government of India as an advisory body on the informal sector to bring about improvement in the productivity of informal enterprises for generation of large scale employment opportunities on a sustainable basis, particularly in the rural areas. There are policies and programmes of Indian government for the development of unorganized sectors and workers of unorganized sectors. The unorganized workers social security act 2008, the unorganized workers social security rule 2008, Aam Admi Beema yojana , Rashtriya Swasthya Beema yojana are being discussed here after.
