## ANSWER

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

- (a) to (h): 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  5 th   August  2025,  over  30.98  crore  unorganised workers have already registered on eShram portal.

In keeping with the vision of the Budget Announcement 2024-25 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  21st  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.

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 Service (NCS), Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), Unified Mobile Application for New-age Governance (UMANG), Digital Locker (DigiLocker), myScheme and Open Government Data Platform (OGD).

Ministry of Labour and Employment launched  Microsites for State/UTs on 29th January 2025 to empower them with their own dedicated  eShram  Microsite  to  address  unique  local  requirements and challenges effectively. These Microsites are designed to tailor services of eShram to align with unique State /UTs needs, simplifying worker registration, data updates, verification and providing State- specific analytics.

Ministry has launched the Platform Aggregator module on 12th  December  2024  to  onboard  platform  aggregators  on  eShram. This initiative integrates these aggregators into the eShram ecosystem, ensuring formal recognition of platform-based gig workers and access to Social Security / Welfare Schemes, thereby reinforcing the government's commitment to inclusive and equitable labour  welfare.  As  of  now  12  platform  aggregators  have  been onboarded on platform aggregator module including Zomato, Blinkit, Urban Company, Uber, Ola, Amazon, Swiggy, Rapido, Zepto, Ecom Express and Uncle Delivery.

State/UTs  wise  and  Gender-wise  registrations  details  of platform workers in the state of Gujarat registered on eShram portal is at Annexure-I and Annexure-II.
