e-Shram : - also a Deep Database ?

 

 

One of the objectives of e-Shram portal launched 4 days ago ( on 26 Aug ) is to :

Design future social benefit schemes for 38 crore workers ( from Unorganized Sector ) . And, may be, even modify some of the existing schemes

It seems, government may want to introduce, not just one or two schemes covering ALL the registered workers but possibly several schemes, each finely targeting several “ sub-groups “ of these 38 crore workers

This ( intention ) reveals itself in the very detailed manner in which the REGISTRATION FORM is designed

As of today, e-Shram portal shows on its home page, just one figure, viz :

Ø  Unorganized Workers Registered ………. 7,85, 212

 a ( as of 11 AM on 30 Aug and growing at the rate of approx. 10,000 per hour  )

Although there are boxes ear-marked to display the following , these are blank at the moment :

Ø  UAN granted………..

Ø  Pending Registration……….

Ø  Registration in Progress………..  

When these data start getting displayed ( dynamically ? ), it would provide the visitors with very useful information

Many of these visitors, may not be unorganized workers themselves, but could be academicians / social scientists / statisticians / educationists / bureaucrats from various Ministries / trade union leaders / policy makers / scheme administrators etc

To create awareness among these visitors, I suggest that :

Ø  On the home page itself, introduce a section ( link ) titled : STATISTICS

Ø  Without any login requirement, any stray visitor should be able to visit this section and be able to VIEW following statistics

 

      STATISTICAL PRE-VIEW OF DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILES OF UNORGANIZED WORKERS REGISTERED

NOTES :

Ø  Notations above refer to “ drop-lists “ which I could not access. Only a worker actually undertaking the Registration Process, would see these

Ø  I strongly urge that these “ drop-lists “ are shown upfront ( on home page ) for everyone to see

Ø  Upfront displaying of the tabulation shown above, will enable everyone to gauge the progress of registration ( vis-à-vis target of 38 crore 

)

Ø  In past 4 days ( 26 Aug – 30 Aug ), average registration is around 2 LAKH / DAY

Ø  At this rate, it might take 60 months ( 5 years ) to get all 38 crore to register

Ø  This will ( likely ) delay the introduction of future Social Benefit schemes

Ø  Detailed STATISTICAL PROFILES ( as shown above ) will invite many useful suggestions from all stakeholders

I once again urge PM Shri Modiji , to consider the MOTIVATOR INCENTIVE SCHEME as suggested in my following earlier E Mail :

Ø  e-ShramCard : Will it be an Easy Card ? ………………….[ 25 Aug 2021 ]

If implemented, we will manage to register ONE CRORE ( 10 Million ) per day

For past 2 days, we have managed to vaccinate ONE CRORE citizen per day

It is a question of POLITICAL WILL
