The eShram portal registers the unorganised workers and provides them a Universal Account Number (UAN) on a self-declaration basis.

The details of the registered unorganised workers under eShram  who  have  benefited  from  various  welfare  schemes  in  the Valsad and Dangs districts of Gujarat is annexed.

To enhance registrations under the eShram initiative and ensure wider coverage of unorganised workers across the country, the Government has adopted a comprehensive strategy. In addition to  enabling  self-registration  through  the  web  portal  and  mobile application,  assisted  registration  modes  have  been  introduced  via Common Service Centres (CSCs), State Seva Kendras (SSKs), and the UMANG platform to facilitate easy access for workers. The Ministry of  Labour  and  Employment  is  conducting  targeted  awareness campaigns  comprising  registration drives,  community  outreach programs and locally tailored communication efforts. To strengthen outreach, the Ministry leverages social media channels to disseminate videos, tutorials, and other informative content, making the initiative more accessible and engaging.

To  further  enhance  the  availability  and  accessibility  of eShram  and  its  associated  services  to  unorganised  workers,  the Ministry of Labour and Employment officially launched the eShram mobile application on 24th February 2025. This application facilitates real-time  access  to  welfare  schemes  integrated  with  the  eShram platform, thereby significantly strengthening both accessibility and user convenience.
