  • Accordingly, the Ministry of Labour and Employment (MoLE) has developed eShram portal for creating a national database of unorganised workers, which is verified with Aadhaar.
  • It captures details of workers like name, occupation, address, occupation type, educational qualification, and skill types etc., for the optimum realization of their employability and extends the benefits of the social security schemes to them.
  • It is the first-ever national database of unorganised workers, including migrant workers, construction workers, gig and platform workers, etc. Currently, e-Shram portal has been linked to NCS portal and ASEEM portal for seamless facilitation of services.
