New Delhi, Dec 28 (NationPress) Worker registrations on the e-Shram portal have surpassed 30 crores this year, highlighting its swift and broad acceptance among unorganised workers, as announced by the government on Saturday.
The eShram portal was introduced on October 21 to provide unorganised labour with access to various social sector initiatives.
Registrations have been increasing at a remarkable pace, averaging 60,000 daily throughout October.
To date, 12 social security and welfare schemes have been integrated and aligned with eShram.
These include the One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC), Indira Gandhi National Disability Pension Scheme (IGNDPS), Indira Gandhi National Widow Pension Scheme (IGNWPS), National Family Benefit Scheme (NFBS), and Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA), among others.
"This is an ongoing process, and additional schemes will be integrated into eShram gradually. The platform also allows agencies to utilize eShram data for verifying workers' eligibility, ensuring scheme saturation, and targeting potential beneficiaries at both State and District levels," stated the Ministry of Labour and Employment.
eShram is also assisting all states and union territories by sharing details of eShram registrants to ensure the effective delivery and saturation of welfare schemes for workers.
