Ministry of Labour & Employment showcases e-Shram portal at 112th International Labour Conference in Geneva

The Ministry of Labour & Employment launched the e-Shram portal to create a comprehensive database of unorganised workers, authenticated with Aadhaar. By May 18, 2024, over 29.67 crore unorganised workers had registered on the portal. The portal integrated with the National Career Service (NCS) Portal, Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), myScheme portal, and Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Mandhaan (PMSYM) scheme. During the 112th International Labour Conference (ILC) in Geneva on June 4, 2024, the Indian delegation, led by Smt. Sumita Dawra, showcased the e-Shram portal’s achievements. The portal received appreciation from various dignitaries and representatives of member states. The Ministry aimed to develop the e-Shram portal as a “One-Stop-Solution” for unorganised workers, facilitating access to various social security schemes. Integration of schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), and Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) was prioritized. Weekly inter-ministerial meetings were held to expedite data sharing and API integration of various schemes with e-Shram. The progress in data sharing and integration was reviewed and appreciated in a meeting on June 19, 2024
