WHAT IS E-SHRAM

Developed by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the e-Shram portal is built to create a national database of unorganised workers, which is seeded with an individual's Aadhaar. The data includes details of name, occupation, address, educational qualification, skill types and family details etc. for understanding their employability and extending the benefits of the social security schemes to them. It is the first-ever national database of unorganised workers including migrant workers, construction workers, gig and platform workers, etc.

 

Objectives of e-Shram

 

The main objective is to create a centralised database of every construction worker, migrant worker, gig and platform worker, street vendor, domestic worker, agriculture worker etc, which will help to implement the social security services to them and share their information with various stakeholders for delivering the welfare schemes.
