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  and  daily  wagers seeded with Aadhaar, and facilitate registration under existing Social Security and Welfare Schemes to such workers. As on 26.11.2024, 30.41 crores workers have registered on this portal. The State-wise details are at annexure.
