Wider social security net on cards for informal workers
Business Standard|April 18, 2024
The government is working on a strategy to empower millions of informal sector workers and help them avail of the benefits of several welfare schemes, such as housing, health care, insurance, pension, and food grain support.

The Ministry of Labour & Employment is working to build a comprehensive database of unorganised sector workers by merging the data of the beneficiaries of existing government welfare schemes with the e-Shram portal, a senior government official told Business Standard.

This may be one of the priorities of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) -led National  Democratic Alliance (NDA) government if it comes back to power. The move might benefit close to 300 million eShram-registered workers.
