Union Minister of Labour to launch ‘eShram - one stop solution’

Tuesday, 22 October 2024 | Pioneer News Service | New Delhi

Union Minister of Labour and Employment Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya on Monday launched "eShram - One Stop Solution" here with an aim to provide seamless access of different Social Security Schemes to the unorganised workers registered on the portal launched in 2021.

More than 30 crore workers have already registered themselves on eShram in a span of 3 years since its inception.

Speaking at the launch event, Dr. Mandaviya emphasised the growing trust in the eShram portal, noting, "Every day, around 60,000 to 90,000 workers are joining the eShram platform, which demonstrates their confidence in this initiative."

Dr. Mandaviya also highlighted that the main aim of the portal is to simplify the registration process for unorganised workers and facilitate their access to government welfare schemes.

"This platform will act as a bridge, connecting the workers to the numerous benefits offered by the government and making the registration process easier and more transparent," he said.

'eShram One Stop Solution' entails consolidating and integrating data from various Central Ministries/ Departments into a single repository as per the recent budget announcement and 100 days agenda of the Ministry.

Key welfare schemes such as One Nation One Ration Card, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, National Social Assistance Programme, National Career Service, Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan etc. have been integrated with eShram, and onboarding of other welfare schemes is also in progress.

Dr. Mandaviya urged all unorganised workers to register on the eShram portal and take advantage of the various welfare schemes designed for their benefit. He emphasised that onboarding to the platform will enable workers to access a wide range of social security and welfare initiatives launched by the government, aimed at improving their livelihoods and ensuring their well-being.

Union Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Shobha Karandlaje emphasised on the integration of State Governments portal with eShram in order to ensure last mile connectivity. "This initiative will also help in ensuring saturation of the schemes through identification of left-out potential beneficiaries, State/ District-wise," she added.

Sumita Dawra, Union Labour and Employment Secretary was of the opinion that 'eShram One Stop Solution' will serve as a facilitator to enable seamless access to various government schemes to the unorganised workers.
