IMPLEMENTATION OF E-SHRAM PORTAL

The Ministry of Labour & Employment launched the eShram portal (eshram.gov.in) on 26 August 2021 to create a National Database of Unorganised Workers (NDUW). As of the release date, 31.82 crore unorganised workers—including platform and migrant workers—have been registered and assigned a Universal Account Number (UAN) on a self‑declaration basis. On 21 October 2024, the eShram “One‑Stop‑Solution” was introduced, integrating fifteen central schemes such as PMSV‑ANidhi, PMSBY, PMJJBY, PM‑KISAN, PMAY‑G, AB‑PMJAY, and ONORC. Registrations require Aadhaar‑based eKYC, with key personal fields fetched directly from UIDAI. Assisted registration is available via CSCs, State Sewa Kendras, and the UMANG platform, complemented by awareness drives and social‑media outreach.
