In  West Champaran  district  a  total  of  11,39,284  unorganised  workers  have registered  out  of  which,  4050  have  joined  National  Career  Service (NCS) portal for employment opportunities.

As on 11 th March 2023, a total of 28.64 crore labours/unorganised  workers  have  registered  on  eShram  portal.  The State/ UT-wise data of eShram registrants are annexed.

The  aim  and  objective of eShram  card  is  to provide Universal  Account  Number  (UAN)  which  can  work  as  a  unique identifier across various social security schemes including skilling and employment opportunities.

In  order to facilitate benefit of social security schemes to the  eShram  registrants,  eShram  portal  is  integrated  with  Pradhan Mantri Shram-Yogi Maandhan (PM-SYM) portal. The eShram registrants can seamlessly take benefits of PMSYM pension scheme through this integration. The eShram portal is also integrated with National Career Service (NCS) Portal. The eShram registrants can seamlessly register on NCS portal and search for suitable job opportunities.

The data sharing of eShram with the State/ UT Governments has been initiated which will facilitate targeted delivery and monitoring of the social security/welfare schemes implemented by the respective State/UT Governments. Further, data sharing guidelines with Central Ministries/ Departments has also been issued on 02.03.23 for exchange of eShram data with Central Ministries/ Departments.
