To enhance registrations under the eShram initiative and ensure wider coverage of unorganised workers including the youth and women, the Government has adopted a comprehensive strategy.

The Ministry of Labour and Employment is conducting targeted awareness campaigns comprising registration drives, community outreach programs and locally tailored communication efforts. To further strengthen outreach, the Ministry leverages social media channels to disseminate videos, tutorials, and other informative content, making the initiative more accessible and engaging. ** *****Annexure I Annexure referred to in reply to Part (a) to (f) of the Lok Sabha Unstarred Question No. 28 for 15.07.2026 regarding “e-Shram Portal” raised by Smt.
