The e-Shram Portal completes five years today, marking a significant milestone in strengthening social security for India’s unorganised workforce.

Launched in 2021 by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, it created the country’s first-ever Aadhaar-seeded National Database of Unorganised Workers. It gives every registered worker a unique Universal Account Number and has evolved into a one-stop digital platform integrating welfare, jobs, skilling, apprenticeship and pension services.

With over 31.89 crore registrations, e-Shram has improved benefit delivery, portability and evidence-based policymaking. It advances the Government’s vision of an inclusive, technology-driven social security ecosystem.

The One-Stop Solution brings together 15 Social Security and Welfare Schemes on a single platform.

These include Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maan-Dhan Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, National Social Assistance Programme, One Nation One Ration Card, Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana-Gramin and others.
