More than three crore unorganized workers registered on E-Shram portal

New Delhi: Union Minister for Labour and Employment Bhupender Yadav has informed that across the country more than three crore have registered themselves on the E-Shram portal, the first ever National Database of Unorganized Workers (NDUW) in the country.  

Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) DPS Negi said the E-Shram portal has given unorganized workers a distinct identity and recognition. “Earlier, we did not have any means to provide benefits to unorganized workers during the Covid-19 pandemic, since we did not have data on them,” he said. “Now, the e-Shram card will serve as a single card to avail government benefits across the country. It will be One Nation One Card,” he said. /BI/
