In a heartwarming gesture highlighting the importance of financial security for domestic workers, a man has caught social media’s attention for investing money on behalf of his driver and housekeeper upon realising they did not have any source of pension or provident fund benefits. In a social media post, the user named Naresh detailed that he had invested Rs 25,000 for each of the two employees in the Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) scheme.
Kisan Vikas Patra (KVP) is a government-backed, saving scheme, designed to double the invested amount over a fixed period. “If you got some loyal employees, think about a small investment for their retirement. “Wow!
Reluanhced in 2014, KVP offers a risk-free, long-term investment opportunity for the public so that more people can save money. Even 10,000 is a start.
It will give them some financial support in their old age,” said Naresh. That is indeed a very noble and kind gesture from you,” said one user while another added: “One should, in all earnestness, recognise that these men and women in the unorganised sector are the most vulnerable group.
