The e-Shram portal, developed by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, aims to create a national database of unorganised workers in India by integrating each individual’s Aadhaar. This comprehensive database includes personal details such as name, occupation, address, educational qualifications, skills, and family information. It is designed to enhance the understanding of workers’ employability and extend social security benefits to them. As the first national database of its kind, it encompasses various categories of unorganised workers, including migrant, construction, gig, and platform workers.
The primary objectives of the e-Shram portal are to establish a centralised database of all unorganised workers, facilitating the implementation of social security services and sharing information with stakeholders to deliver welfare schemes effectively. Additionally, the portal aims to ensure the portability of social security and welfare benefits for migrant and construction workers, allowing them to access these benefits regardless of their location. This comprehensive database also provides central and state governments with valuable data to manage national crises efficiently.
