[October-2021]

e-SHRAM portal

  • The Ministry of Labour and Employment conducted a sensitization programme about the features and benefits of the recently launched e-SHRAM portal for creating a national database of unorganized sector workers.

About the Portal:

  • The Ministry of Labour and Employment recently unveiled the e-shram portal which aims to register 38 crore unorganised workers, such as construction labourers, migrant workforce, street vendors and domestic workers, among others.
  • The workers will be issued an e-Shram card containing a 12 digit unique number, which will help in including them in social security schemes.
  • The portal would lead to the creation of a national database of unorganised workers.
  • Apart from being Aadhaar-linked, it will collect details of the name, occupation, address, educational qualification, skill types and family of the registered workers.
  • It was developed by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, in technical collaboration with the National Informatics Centre (an attached office under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology).
  • The portal is open to workers engaged in the unorganised sector and aged between 16 and 59.
