ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT
(SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)
(a) to (d): The Ministry of Labour and Employment launched eShram
portal (eshram.gov.in) on 26th August 2021 for creation of a
comprehensive National Database of Unorganised Workers (NDUW)
seeded with Aadhaar. eShram portal is meant to register and support
the unorganised workers by providing them a Universal Account
Number (UAN) on a self-declaration basis.
As on 4th August 2025, over 30.98 crore unorganised
workers have already registered on eShram portal.
The number of unique users who accessed the eShram
portal each month since January 2025 and the cumulative number of
users till June 2025 is at annexure-I.
Contd..2/-:: 2 ::
Scheme-wise and State-wise details of workers registered
on eShram who have successfully availed benefits under various
social security schemes of Central Government integrated / mapped
with eShram are at annexure-II and annexure-III.
To evaluate the effectiveness of eShram portal, a third party
evaluation/ impact assessment of eShram has been taken up by the Quality
Council of India (QCI).
In keeping with the vision of the Budget Announcement 2024-
25 on developing eShram as a One-Stop-Solution for unorganized workers
to have access to various social security schemes, Ministry of Labour and
Employment launched the eShram–“One-Stop-Solution” on 21st October
2024. eShram– “One-Stop-Solution” entails integration of different social
security/ welfare schemes at single portal i.e. eShram. This enables
unorganised workers registered on eShram to access social security
schemes and see benefits availed by them so far, through eShram.
The portal serves as a facilitative platform designed to
consolidate beneficiary data for the delivery of Central Government social
security / welfare schemes. While it provides a one-stop solution for
schemes integrated / mapped with the portal, it does not serve as a
gatekeeper. Eligible beneficiaries can avail benefits under these schemes
irrespective of their eShram registration status.
So far, fourteen (14) schemes of different Central Ministries/
Departments have already been integrated/ mapped with the eShram to
extend benefits and access to social security, insurance or skill
development programmes to eShram cardholders including Pradhan Mantri
Street Vendors Atmanirbhar Nidhi (PMSVANidhi), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha
Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY),
National Family Benefit Scheme (NFBS), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural
Employment Guarantee scheme (MGNREGS), Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana
– Gramin (PMAY-G), Ayushman Bharat – Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana
(AB-PMJAY), Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban (PMAY-U), Pradhan
Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman
Nidhi (PM-KISAN), One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) and Pradhan Mantri
Matru Vandna Yojana (PMMVY).
In addition to above schemes, eShram is also integrated with
Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-dhan (PM-SYM), National Career
Service (NCS), Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), Unified Mobile
Application for New-age Governance (UMANG), Digital Locker (Digi
Locker), myScheme and Open Government Data Platform (OGD).
