Ministry has taken several steps to raise awareness and to expedite the registration of unorganised workers on eShram portal. Many registration camps and drives are being organised by Ministry from time to time in coordination with Common Service Centre (CSC). Social  media  platforms  are  also  being  used  to  spread  awareness among workers to register on e-shram. State Seva Kendras (SSKs) and  services  of  Common  Service  Centres  were  on  boarded  to facilitate assisted mode  registrations of  unorganised  workers. eShram is also on boarded on Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance (UMANG app), to increase reach among the workers and provide  registration/  update  facility  at  the  convenience  of  their mobile.
