## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SUSHRI SHOBHA KARANDLAJE)

(a) to (d): The Ministry of Labour and Employment launched eShram portal  (eshram.gov.in)  on  26th  August  2021  for  creation  of  a comprehensive National Database of Unorganised Workers (NDUW) seeded with Aadhaar. eShram portal is meant to register and support the  unorganised  workers  by  providing  them  a  Universal  Account Number (UAN) on a self-declaration basis.

As  on  4 th   August  2025,  over  30.98  crore  unorganised workers have already registered on eShram portal.

The number of unique users who accessed the eShram portal each month since January 2025 and the cumulative number of users till June 2025 is at annexure-I.

Scheme-wise and State-wise details of workers registered on  eShram  who  have  successfully  availed  benefits  under  various social security schemes of Central Government integrated / mapped with eShram are at annexure-II and annexure-III.

To evaluate the effectiveness of eShram portal, a third party evaluation/ impact assessment of eShram has been taken up by the Quality

Council of India (QCI).

In keeping with the vision of the Budget Announcement 202425 on developing eShram as a One-Stop-Solution for unorganized workers to have access to various social security schemes, Ministry of Labour and Employment  launched  the  eShram -'One -StopSolution'  on  21 st   October 2024.  eShram -'One -StopSolution'  entails  integration  of  different  social security/  welfare  schemes  at  single  portal  i.e.  eShram.  This  enables unorganised  workers  registered  on  eShram  to  access  social  security schemes and see benefits availed by them so far, through eShram.

The  portal serves  as a facilitative platform  designed  to consolidate beneficiary data for the delivery of Central Government social security  /  welfare  schemes.  While  it  provides  a  one-stop  solution  for schemes  integrated  /  mapped  with  the  portal,  it  does  not  serve  as  a gatekeeper. Eligible beneficiaries can avail benefits under these schemes irrespective of their eShram registration status.

So  far,  fourteen  (14)  schemes  of  different  Central  Ministries/ Departments  have  already  been  integrated/  mapped  with  the  eShram  to extend benefits and access to social security, insurance or skill development programmes to eShram cardholders including Pradhan Mantri Street Vendors Atmanirbhar Nidhi (PMSVANidhi), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY), Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), National Family Benefit Scheme (NFBS), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee scheme (MGNREGS), Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana -Gramin (PMAY-G), Ayushman Bharat -Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY),  Pradhan  Mantri  Awas  Yojana -Urban  (PMAY-U),  Pradhan Mantri Matsya Sampada Yojana (PMMSY), Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN), One Nation One Ration Card (ONORC) and Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandna Yojana (PMMVY).

In addition to above schemes, eShram is also integrated with Pradhan  Mantri  Shram  Yogi  Maan-dhan  (PM-SYM),  National  Career Mobile Application for New-age Governance (UMANG), Digital Locker (Digi

Service (NCS), Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), Unified Locker), myScheme and Open Government Data Platform (OGD).
