Labour welfare schemes extend support to over 50 lakh unorganised workers across India
New Delhi [India] June 17 (ANI): The Ministry of Labour & Employment-led welfare schemes have extended support to over 50 lakh unorganised workers across India, particularly in the Beedi, Cine, and Mining sectors, the Ministry of Labour & Employment said in a release. 'With a direct impact on over 50 lakh workers and their families, these schemes form a cornerstone of the government's inclusive and compassionate labour welfare strategy,' the Ministry added. The Labour Welfare Organisation (LWO), functioning under DGLW, administers these schemes across the country through a well-coordinated network of 18 Welfare Commissioners, who oversee implementation at the regional level. The LWO's goal is to provide social protection, health services, financial assistance for education, and housing support to workers often located in remote and underserved regions. One of the key components of the welfare framework is the Education Assistance Scheme, which provides annual scholarships ranging from Rs 1,000 to Rs 25,000 for the wards of Beedi, Cine, and non-coal mine workers. The scheme, implemented via the National Scholarship Portal (NSP), receives over one lakh applications every year, with direct benefit transfer (DBT) ensuring transparent and timely disbursement. Healthcare support under the Health Scheme includes outpatient services through a national network of dispensaries, as well as reimbursement for specialised treatments for critical illnesses such as heart disease, kidney transplantation, cancer, tuberculosis, and minor surgeries. The financial assistance ranges from Rs 30,000 for minor surgeries to Rs 7.5 lakh for cancer treatment, ensuring access to life-saving healthcare for low-income workers. Although the Revised Integrated Housing Scheme (RIHS) introduced in 2016 has now been sunset and merged with Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), the Ministry continues to disburse pending instalments to eligible beneficiaries until 31 March 2024. The Ministry said that these targeted schemes not only improve the quality of life and social security of unorganised sector workers but also underscore the government's vision of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas in action.

Tracking every Vikings draft pick under Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and where they are now
If you could pick the Vikings next quarterback, who would you choose? If you could pick the Vikings next quarterback, who would you choose? If you could pick the Vikings next quarterback, who would you choose? Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah has had a less-than-stellar record of drafting for the future of the organization, according to fans and critics. As of April 22, the team holds four picks for the 2025 NFL draft, which begins on Thursday. Ahead of the first round, here's a look back at every draft pick Adofo-Mensah has made with the Vikings. 2022 NFL draft Lewis Cine, safety, first round, pick 32 At the time of the 2022 draft, Cine was a highly touted defender garnering comparisons to current Vikings safety Harrison Smith. During Week 4 of the 2022 season against the New Orleans Saints, he suffered a lower-leg fracture during a special-teams play, which ended his rookie season and required two surgeries. After recovering, he wasn't able to reach starting player status. Cine was released by Minnesota in August 2024. He's currently signed with the Philadelphia Eagles. Andrew Booth, cornerback, second round, pick 42 Booth had 19 solo tackles and started two games for the Vikings in his two-year tenure with the organization, according to Pro Football Reference. In August 2024, Booth was traded to the Dallas Cowboys for cornerback Nahshon Wright, who was released by Minnesota on April 7. Ed Ingram, guard, second round, pick 59 Ingram started 41 games at guard for the Vikings over three seasons, the team says. He started nine games during the 2024 season before being replaced by fellow guard Dalton Risner. In March, Ingram was traded to the Houston Texans in exchange for a sixth-round pick of the 2026 draft. Brian Asamoah, linebacker, third round, pick 66 The Oklahoma linebacker is entering his fourth season with Minnesota. Asamoah has provided depth at the position for the Vikings, accumulating 15 solo tackles in 46 games. Akayleb Evans, cornerback, fourth round, pick 118 Evans had a prominent role in the secondary early on in his career with Minnesota, starting two games during the 2022 season and 15 games in 2023. In 2024, he started one game and was waived by the team in November. Evans was signed shortly after by the Carolina Panthers. Esezi Otomewo, defensive lineman, fifth round, pick 165 Otomewo is a former Minnesota Gopher who appeared in five games for the Vikings during the 2022 season. He was waived by the team in August 2023, and currently plays for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Ty Chandler, running back, fifth round, pick 169 Chandler is entering his fourth season with the Vikings. He's garnered 663 rushing yards and three touchdowns over 37 games. Last season, he solidified himself as the team's primary kick returner. Vederian Lowe, tackle, sixth round, pick 184 Lowe appeared in four regular-season games for the Vikings in 2022. In 2023, he was traded to the New England Patriots for a 2024 sixth-round draft pick. Jalen Nailor, wide receiver, sixth round, pick 191 The Vikings' No. 3 wideout has amassed 40 catches for 622 yards and seven touchdowns over a 38-game span. The majority of receptions and receiving yards came during the 2024 season, with 28 and 414, respectively. He started seven games during the 2024 season. Nick Muse, tight end, seventh round, pick 227 Muse appeared in 15 games over three seasons for Minnesota before he was waived by the organization in November 2024. He was signed to the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad eight days before the team beat the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. 2023 NFL draft Jordan Addison, wide receiver, first round, pick 23 Addison is regarded as one of Adofo-Mensah's best picks of his tenure with the Vikings so far. In two years with the team, the 23-year-old pass catcher has 133 receptions, 1,786 receiving yards and 19 touchdowns. In 2023, Addison tied Sammy White for the second-most receiving touchdowns by a rookie in a single season with 10, according to the team. Mekhi Blackmon, cornerback, third round, pick 102 Blackmon appeared in 15 games for Minnesota during the 2023 season, including three starts. He had 34 tackles and one interception during that time. Blackmon was sidelined for all of last season after tearing his ACL during the team's first practice in July 2024. The Vikings say he's eager to get back onto the field later this year. Jay Ward, safety, fourth round, pick 134 The LSU product appeared in all 17 games for Minnesota in 2023, contributing on both defense and special teams, according to the organization. He's listed on ESPN as the Vikings' second-string strong safety, backing up Harrison Smith. Jaquelin Roy, nose tackle, fifth round, pick 141 Roy appeared in 12 games for the Vikings in 2023, making seven tackles. He was released by the Vikings in August 2024 and signed to the New England Patriots' practice squad two weeks later. Roy appeared in six games for New England before suffering a foot injury that took him out for the remainder of the season. Jaren Hall, quarterback, fifth round, pick 164 Hall started twice for the Vikings following Kirk Cousins' season-ending achilles injury in 2023. He suffered a concussion in his start against the Atlanta Falcons and was benched after two quarters against the Green Bay Packers. Hall was waived by Minnesota in August 2024 and signed to the Seattle Seahawks' practice squad shortly after. DeWayne McBride, running back, seventh round, pick 222 McBride spent his full rookie season on the Vikings' practice squad and was cut by the team in 2024. He now plays for the Memphis Showboats in the United Football League. 2024 NFL draft J.J. McCarthy, quarterback, first round, pick 10 Former Michigan Wolverines QB J.J. McCarthy missed his entire rookie season with a torn meniscus suffered in a preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders. All signs point to McCarthy leading Minnesota's offense this upcoming season, with last season's starter, Sam Darnold, signing with the Seahawks. Dallas Turner, outside linebacker, first round, pick 17 The pass rusher from Alabama played 300 snaps on defense and recorded three sacks last season, though he did not make a start. He provided depth behind starting linebackers Andrew Van Ginkel and Blake Cashman, who each played all 17 games. Turner also played 226 snaps on special teams. Khyree Jackson, cornerback, fourth round, pick 108 Jackson died on July 6, 2024 in a car crash in Maryland. He played one season each for Alabama and Oregon before Minnesota drafted him. Walter Rouse, tackle, sixth round, pick 177 Rouse acted as a backup tackle last season. He only saw playing time in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals, the team says. Will Reichard, kicker, sixth round, pick 203 Reichard quickly made a name for himself last year, staying perfect through the first eight games of the season. In total, he made 24 out of 30 field goal attempts, including a 58-yard kick in Week 3 against the Houston Texans. Reichard was perfect on extra point attempts. Michael Jurgens, offensive lineman, seventh round, pick 230 Much like Rouse, Jurgens had a backup role last season, only seeing the field in three games. Jurgens is listed on ESPN as the second-string left guard behind Blake Brandel. Levi Drake Rodriguez, defensive lineman, seventh round, pick 232 Rodriguez was considered a preseason darling in 2024, playing well enough to make the initial 53-man roster. He played in two games last season and recorded one tackle. Note: The above video first aired on March 13, 2025.

NFL draft history: Every player selected with the 32nd overall pick since 2015
NFL draft history: Every player selected with the 32nd overall pick since 2015 With the NFL draft just days away, we're looking back at every No. 32 pick going back to 2015 The Eagles are champions, and with the Super Bowl behind us, all eyes will turn toward the 2025 NFL draft. The first day will feature only the first round, the second day will feature the second and third rounds, and the draft will conclude with the final four rounds on the third day. This year, the NFL Draft will begin at Lambeau Field in the Titletown district in Green Bay, Wisconsin. With the first round just hours away, we're looking at the history of the No. 32 overall pick. 2024: Xavier Legette, WR, Panthers Legette underwent surgery to address a lingering issue he played through during the 2024 campaign. The first-rounder is coming off an underwhelming rookie campaign, having recorded 49 catches for 497 yards and four touchdowns on 87 targets across 16 regular-season appearances. 2023: Joey Porter Jr., CB, Steelers Porter totaled 70 tackles (53 solo) and seven pass defenses, including an interception, over 16 regular-season contests in 2024. Porter solidified a starting role in his second year as a pro, playing at least 95 percent of Pittsburgh's defensive snaps in 15 of his 16 games. The Penn State product improved upon his rookie numbers in tackles but had three fewer defensed passes. 2022: Lewis Cine, S, Vikings Cine was selected by Minnesota 32nd overall in the 2022 draft and joined the Bills' practice squad after being released by the Vikings last summer. He broke his leg during his rookie season and was limited to playing 10 defensive snaps in 10 games over his two years in Minnesota. The 24-year-old from Haiti is listed at 6-foot-2 and 199 pounds and is a low-risk signing after a decorated college career at Georgia. Cine earned defensive MVP honors in Georgia's 33-18 win over Alabama in the national championship game in the 2021 season. 2021: Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, DE, Buccaneers A 2021 first-round pick of the Buccaneers, Tryon-Shoyinka saw his snap count reduce in each of his final two seasons with Tampa Bay, culminating in a career-low 24 tackles (15 solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 15 regular-season appearances in 2024. 2020: Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, Chiefs Edwards-Helaire started the 2024 season on the Chiefs' reserve/non-football illness list. He was activated from the NFI list Oct. 15 but was a healthy scratch for the next nine games and was ultimately waived by Kansas City in mid-December. After pondering retirement, he signed with the Saints' practice squad two days later and was elevated for the final two games of the regular season, during which he logged 13 carries for 46 yards while adding three catches (on five targets) for 24 yards. By signing a future contract, Edwards-Helaire will be on the Saints' 90-man roster for the start of the new league year, March 12. Harry spent the offseason with Minnesota and landed on the Vikings' practice squad to start the season. He was later cut and signed with Seattle in early November. Harry hasn't caught a regular-season pass since 2022 with Chicago. The 2019 first-round pick most recently appeared in nine games with the Vikings in 2023, failing to record a stat across 69 total snaps (20 offensive and 49 on special teams). 2018: Lamar Jackson, QB, Ravens Jackson, the most accomplished No. 32 overall pick in NFL history, signed a five-year, reported $260 million deal during the 2023 offseason, making him the league's highest-paid player. According to ESPN Stats & Info, Jackson has been the 8th quarterback since the 1970 merger, earning three or more first-team All-Pro selections. Jackson's other first-team All-Pro selections came in 2019 and 2023. 2017: Ryan Ramczyk, OT, Saints Ramczyk announced his retirement from the NFL last week. The 32nd overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, Ramczyk injured his knee in Week 14 of the 2023 season and was never medically cleared to play again, missing the entirety of the 2024 campaign. Before the injury, Ramczyk was one of the best right tackles in the league, earning first-team All-Pro honors once and second-team All-Pro twice. He started all 101 games he appeared in during his seven seasons with the Saints. 2016: Emmanuel Ogbah, DE, Browns Ogbah finished the 2024 regular season with 49 tackles (27 solo), 5.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception), and one forced fumble across 16 games. Ogbah tied veteran Calais Campbell for the third-most sacks on the Dolphins behind Zach Sieler (10.0) and Chop Robinson (6.0). Ogbah has logged 5.0 sacks in back-to-back seasons, and his 49 combined tackles were his most since his rookie year in 2016 with the Browns (53). 2015: Malcom Brown, DT, Patriots Brown appeared in all 17 games for the Jaguars last year and recorded a career-high 57 tackles and two sacks across 653 defensive snaps. The eighth-year pro has been a productive defensive tackle with New England, New Orleans, and Jacksonville.
