The target is to bring more than 38 crore workers working in the unorganized sector under its ambit. These will include construction workers, migrant workers, gig and platform workers, street vendors, domestic helpers, agricultural laborers and other types of workers working in the unorganized sector. It covers 30 sectors and more than 400 businesses.
How can I register?
Let us tell you that a worker of the unorganized sector working in any corner of the country can register on the e-Shramik portal. Three options are available for registration, out of which first is self registration, second is Common Service Center and third is State Service Center. By the way, you can also register yourself on the portal by going online.
But if you do not want to register yourself, then go to the Common Service Center. According to the released data, maximum number of workers have got themselves registered by going to the Common Service Center, followed by self-registration. At the same time, very few people have got registered by visiting the State Service Center.
