Revamping Social Security: eShram Portal Bridges the Gap for Unorganised Workers

The eShram portal, launched by Union Labour & Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, aims to streamline access to social security schemes for unorganised workers. It facilitates registration and integration of welfare schemes to improve livelihoods. State governments' integration enhances reach, ensuring more workers benefit from government programs.

Union Labour & Employment Minister Mansukh Mandaviya has unveiled the eShram portal, a platform aimed at providing unorganised workers with seamless access to a range of social security schemes. The initiative is gaining traction, with daily registrations between 60,000 and 90,000.

Mandaviya emphasized the portal's role in simplifying the registration process and connecting workers to various government welfare schemes, making it a crucial link for improving their livelihood and well-being. He urged unorganised workers to register on the platform to access numerous initiatives designed for their benefit.

Alongside Mandaviya, State Labour & Employment Minister Shobha Karandlaje stressed the importance of integrating state portals for comprehensive coverage, ensuring no potential beneficiary is left out. The eShram portal, initiated in August 2021, has seen significant uptake, with more than 30 crore workers registered to date, evidencing its critical role in unorganised sectors.
