India received the International Social Security Association Award 2025 on Friday for outstanding achievement in social security. Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya accepted the honor at the World Social Security Forum in Kuala Lumpur and credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for expanding coverage from 19 percent in 2015 to 64.3 percent in 2025. The triennial award recognized India's progress in protecting 940 million citizens through social protection systems.

Mandaviya highlighted the e-Shram portal connecting 310 million unorganized workers with welfare schemes through a multilingual interface. The minister told 1,200 policymakers from 163 countries that the National Career Service portal links job seekers with employers while maintaining social security benefits. India becomes the fifth nation to receive the award and joins leading countries in social protection coverage. The Employees' Provident Fund Organisation and Employees' State Insurance Corporation provide healthcare, insurance, and pension schemes to workers nationwide.
