To provide social security to the workers in unorganised sectors, the Government of India started the e-Shram yojana. Any person working in an unorganised sector can apply for an e-Shram card or Shramik card. Through the e-Shram card labourers and workers those who are working in unorganised sectors can get different benefits such as a pension after 60 years, death insurance, financial aid in case of incapacity, UAN number, etc.
For the workers in unorganised sectors the government also launched the e-Shram portal.
The main objective of the e-Shram portal is to collect the database of unorganised workers and provide them the benefits of all the new
government schemes.
