Elaborating on the projects, Manoj stated: "There are 74 projects on the cards. The plight of the migrant workers has shaken us all, and sadly, their struggle to make ends meet continues. This initiative is the need of the hour. It’s a holistic approach to managing the rural economy. I will also be involved in raising funds."

Seconding his thoughts, wife Shabana Raza Bajpayee said: "The Helping Hand Charitable Trust has done a very commendable job by launching the Shramik Sammaan. The objective of this initiative is to resolve issues at the grassroots level. I feel honoured to be a part of such an initiative."

The initiative is set to promote local, traditional and sustainable lifestyle. Reportedly, a cold-pressed oil extraction unit in Bhagalpur (Bihar) is one of the first projects to be unveiled under Shramik Samman followed by a mask-production setups in Mumbai and Faridabad and women’s tailoring unit in Uttrakhand, among several others.
