Tool Purchase Grant for Construction Workers Delhi | BOCWWB

Overview

The Grant for the Purchase of Work Related Tools is a welfare scheme administered by the Delhi Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (BOCWWB). It provides financial grants to registered construction workers to buy tools required for their trade.

This scheme directly strengthens a worker’s earning potential by equipping them with better tools, which leads to improved productivity and income.
