Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government had launched the e-shram platform to provide financial support to people working in the unorganized sector. Indian laborers would be assisted in finding work based on their skills through this platform.
Workers interested in taking advantage of this initiative can register online by filling the e-shram card registration form 2022 available on the official website eshram.gov.in. The Ministry of Labor and Employment is in charge of the e-Shram Card Scheme.
Registration Figure Crosses 15 Crores in 4 Months
