The second version of the eShram portal will be launched next week on Monday with new features like eligibility criteria for various welfare schemes. The Ministry of Labour & Employment launched the eShram portal (eshram.gov.in) on August 26, 2021, for the creation of a comprehensive National Database of Unorganised Workers verified and seeded with Aadhaar.
The eShram portal is meant to register and support unorganised workers by providing them with a Universal Account Number (UAN).
It captures details of workers, such as name, permanent address, current address, occupation, educational qualification, skill type etc.
