The Ministry of Labour & Employment (MoLE) launched the eShram portal on 26th August 2021. In the short span of three years since its launch, eShram has registered more than 30 crore unorganised workers, showcasing its rapid and widespread adoption among the unorganised workers. This achievement highlights the social impact and the Government’s commitment to support unorganised workers across the country.
The Government envisages to establishing the eShram portal as a “One-Stop-Solution” for Country’s unorganised workers. During Budget speech 2024-25 it has been announced that, “A comprehensive integration of eShram portal with other portals will facilitate such One-Stop-Solution.” This initiative aims to facilitate access of various social security schemes being implemented by different Ministries/ Departments to unorganised workers through the eShram portal. The eShram-One Stop Solution will serve as a facilitator to ensure seamless access of various Government schemes to the unorganised workers. This will help in creating awareness of the schemes meant for unorganised workers while ensuring saturation of the schemes through identification of left-out potential beneficiaries.
