Highest number of registered workers
Uttar Pradesh leads the nation with the highest number of registered workers, boasting over 8.38 crore registrations. Following Uttar Pradesh, Bihar has more than 2.97 crore registered workers, while Lakshadweep has the fewest. The primary objective of the labor portal is to register and support unorganized workers by providing them with a universal account number (UAN) based on self-declaration.
Integration with Various Portals
The e-Shram portal has been connected to the National Career Service and the Skill India Digital Portal to enhance employment and skill development opportunities. Additionally, it has been integrated with the Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi Maandhan (PMSYM) scheme to facilitate enrollment in the pension program. The portal also connects with the MyScheme Portal, allowing users to access information about government schemes in one location. Furthermore, various other government initiatives have been linked to this portal.
