(a) to (d):  The  Ministry  of  Labour  and  Employment  has  launched eShram portal, on 26th August, 2021. It has been made available to the  States/UTs  for  registration  of  unorganised  workers,  including migrant workers, on eShram portal. It also allows an unorganised worker to register on the portal on a self-declaration basis. The main objective of the eShram portal is to create a national database of unorganized workers, including migrant workers, seeded  with Aadhaar,  and  facilitate  registration  under  existing  Social  Security and  Welfare  Schemes  to  such  workers.  As  on  03.12.2024,  30.43 crores workers have registered on this portal. The State-wise details are at annexure.

Labour  Bureau  has  conducted  an  All  India  Survey  on Migrant Workers, on their socio economic characteristics. The field work of the survey has been completed. *                                                     *****
