The central government launched the eShram portal for the benefit of unorganized workers. It is a centralized database of unorganized workers seeded with Aadhaar and workers from the unorganized sectors can register on the portal for free. It will have details like name, occupation, address, educational qualification, skill types and family details etc. for optimum realization of their employability and extend the benefits of the social security schemes to them.

For the uninitiated an unorganized worker is any worker who is a home-based, self-employed or a wage worker working in the unorganized sector and is not a member of ESIC or EPFO. Any worker who is unorganized and aged between 16-59, is eligible to register on the eShram portal.
