Addressing the gathering, Union Minister Mandaviya appreciated the historic role of EPFO ​​in ensuring social and financial well-being of the country’s workforce. He urged the organization to focus on citizen-centric service delivery with a new purpose and vision.

He said, “EPFO is not just a fund. It represents the trust of the country’s workforce in social security. On the occasion of this Foundation Day, it will provide new inspiration and energy to all the officers and inspire them to create a vision for the coming years. This vision will guide EPFO’s journey from Sankalp to Siddhi.”

On this occasion, the Union Minister also launched the Employee Nomination Scheme 2025. The scheme, to be implemented from November 1, 2025, aims to encourage employers to voluntarily declare and enroll eligible employees.

Labor and Employment Secretary Vandana Gurnani, who was present at the event, appreciated EPFO’s evolution from a compliance-based body to a citizen-centric institution.

He said, “Behind every file lies a dedicated employee, a family and a dream. Every employee should be treated with complete respect and dignity, because social security is not just about systems, but also about people.”
