MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT
(SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)
(a) to (g): 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) including platform
workers, migrant workers etc. The e-Shram portal registers the
unorganised workers including gig and platform workers and provides them
a Universal Account Number (UAN) on a self-declaration basis.
As on 14th July 2026, over 31.78 crore unorganised workers
have already been registered on eShram portal including over 3.88 lakhs
registrations in Pali, 3.67 lakhs registrations in Shahdol Lok Sabha
Constituencies and 5.86 lakhs registrations in Keonjhar Lok Sabha
Constituency in Odisha.
State/UTs-wise, gender-wise and occupation sector-wise
details of unorganised workers registered on eShram portal including in
Pali and Shahdol districts is at annexure-I,II and III.
Ministry of Labour and Employment launched Microsites for
State/UTs on 29th January 2025 to empower them with their own dedicated
eShram Microsite to address unique local requirements and challenges
effectively. These Microsites are designed to tailor services of eShram to
align with unique State /UTs needs, simplifying worker registration, data
updates, verification and providing State specific analytics.
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
Contd..3/-:: 3::
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.
So far, fifteen (15) schemes of different Central Ministries/
Departments have already been integrated/ mapped with the eShram to
extend benefits and access to social securitys schemes to eShram
cardholders including Pradhan Mantri Street Vendors Atmanirbhar Nidhi
(PMSVANidhi), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Pradhan
Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Viksit Bharat-Guarantee for
Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G), 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), etc.
Apart from the above, eShram has linkages with National
Career Service (NCS) for Job Opportunities , Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH)
for Skill Development, Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-dhan (PM-SYM) for
Pension and convergence portal of MoHUA.
To enhance registrations under the eShram initiative and
ensure wider coverage of unorganised workers including in Keonjhar Lok
Sabha Constituency in Odisha, the Government has adopted a
comprehensive strategy. In addition to enabling self-registration through
the web portal and mobile application, assisted registration modes have
been introduced via Common Service Centres (CSCs), State Sewa Kendras
(SSKs), and the UMANG platform to facilitate easy access for workers. 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.
Details of unorganised workers registered on eShram portal
enrolled under various social security schemes is at annexure-IV.
