The Government of India started the e-Shram yojana to provide social security to workers in unorganised sectors. The government also launched the e-Shram portal for the workers in unorganised sectors. The objective of the e-Shram portal is to collect the database of unorganised workers to provide them with the benefits of various government schemes.
A person working in an unorganised sector should apply for a Shramik card or e-Shram card. Through the e-Shram card, the labourers and workers in the unorganised sectors can get various benefits, such as a pension after 60 years, death insurance, financial aid in case of incapacity, etc. The objective of the e-Shram card is to provide access for unorganised workers to all the new government schemes and facilities through the e-Shram portal.
