ministry onboards 10 welfare schemes on e-Shram portal - The Economic Times
Extract from the
article:
The Labour Ministry is revolutionizing the welfare landscape by integrating
10 welfare schemes onto the e-Shram portal. This strategic move aims to create
a one-stop solution for unorganized workers, streamlining their access to
various welfare schemes and benefits. By consolidating these offerings on a
single platform, the ministry seeks to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness
of social security services for the vast unorganized workforce.
The e-Shram portal, launched recently, has witnessed a massive surge in
registrations, indicating a growing acceptance among migrant workers. The
platform's success is evident from the substantial increase in daily
registrations, signifying its potential to cater to the needs of millions of
unorganized workers across the country. Additionally, the ministry is gearing
up to enhance the registration process further, aiming to enroll the entirety
of India's 38 crore migrant workforce gradually.
My Take:
"Reflecting on my insights from the past, the surge in registrations on
the e-Shram portal aligns with my earlier observations. I had emphasized the
significance of swift registrations and envisaged a steady increase in
enrollment rates. It is heartening to see the government's proactive steps in
realizing the platform's potential to benefit migrant workers across the
nation."
Congratulations,
Dear Labour Minister
"In my previous blog, I highlighted the importance of the e-Shram
portal and urged policymakers to consider streamlining the registration process
for unorganized workers. The current developments, including the integration of
welfare schemes and the surge in registrations, resonate with my past
recommendations. It is indeed gratifying to witness these progressive strides
towards ensuring social security for millions of unorganized workers."
"The upcoming implementation of Standard Operating Procedures for
reverse integration, as outlined in my earlier blog, signifies a crucial step
towards enhancing social security for unorganized workers. The integration of
various schemes on the e-Shram portal, coupled with efforts to eliminate
redundancies and expedite registrations, underscores the government's
commitment to providing a universal social security net in India."
Call to Action:
To the Labour Ministry and policymakers involved in the e-Shram initiative,
I urge a continued focus on streamlining processes, enhancing user experience,
and expanding the scope of welfare schemes on the portal. Let's strive to make
social security more accessible and inclusive for the unorganized workforce,
steering towards a future where every worker in the country can avail
themselves of their entitled benefits seamlessly.
With regards,
Hemen Parekh
