The Ministry of Labour & Employment envisages to develop e-Shram portal as “One-Stop-Solution” for Unorganised Workers of the country.

Integration of few schemes such as Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY), Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana (PMSBY) and Ayushman Bharat - Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY) is a priority agenda of the Ministry. Further, other schemes like PM-SVANidhi, MGNREGA, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojna – Gramin (PMAY-G) and Ration Card data etc. are also being integrated with e-Shram in a time bound manner.
To realise the vision of “One-Stop-Solution”, weekly inter-ministerial meetings are being held by Smt. Sumita Dawra, Secretary, Ministry of Labour & Employment with representatives/ senior officers from various Ministries/ Departments like Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprise, Department of Food & Public Distribution, Ministry of Rural Development, Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Housing & Urban Affairs, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Department of Financial Services, National Health Authority etc.
Recently, review meeting on the subject was held on 19.06.2024. The review meeting was primarily focused on progress in respect of data sharing as well as API integration of various schemes’ portals with e-Shram. The progress in respect of data sharing by various schemes and matching of Ayushman Bharat scheme data with e-Shram was appreciated by the Secretary (MoLE). Secretary (MoLE) further requested all the concerned Ministries/Departments to expedite the data sharing and API integration process with eShram for welfare of the unorganised workers of the country.
