The Ministry of Labour and Employment on October 20th 2024 notified regarding the launch of the eShram-One Stop Solution for unorganized workers. The key aim is for unorganized workers to access government schemes and support services.
What is eShram-One Stop Solution?
The eShram-One Stop Solution is designed as a comprehensive platform that serves as a mediator for unorganized workers, allowing them to easily navigate the various social security and welfare schemes available to them. By integrating information from 12 different schemes across various Central Ministries and Departments, this initiative aims to streamline the identification and implementation processes for social security programs.
Why Does This Matter?
Unorganized workers make up a significant portion of the labor force, often facing challenges in accessing the benefits they are entitled to. The eShram-One Stop Solution will not only raise awareness about these schemes but also facilitate their saturation, ensuring that more workers can benefit from the programs designed to support them.
Since the launch of the eShram initiative on August 26, 2021, over 30 crore unorganized workers have been enrolled. This remarkable achievement underscores the widespread appeal of eShram and the government’s commitment to uplifting this vital segment of the workforce.
Key Benefits
- Simplified Access: With a single platform, unorganized workers can find all the information they need about various schemes, reducing the complexity of accessing benefits.
- Integrated Information: The consolidation of data from multiple schemes means that workers will receive tailored support and information that meets their specific needs.
- Enhanced Awareness: The initiative will promote greater awareness of available schemes, empowering workers to take advantage of the resources at their disposal.
- Support for Implementation: By facilitating the implementation of these schemes, the eShram-One Stop Solution aims to improve the overall effectiveness of social security programs.
Conclusion
The launch of the eShram-One Stop Solution represents a significant step forward in the government’s efforts to support unorganized workers. By providing them with the tools and information necessary to access social security and welfare schemes, this initiative promises to create a more equitable labor environment.
