More Than 30 Crore Unorganized Workers on eShram Portal

A statement was released recently by the Ministry of Labour & Employment that more than 30 crore unorganized workers have been registered on the digital eShram platform in just three years of the portal’s launch. In my opinion, this is a significant achievement in the context of developing a digital infrastructure to support India’s unorganized workers.
