The e-Shram portal has been upgraded and it will now be available in all 22 scheduled languages so that unorganised workers from different regions of the country can access it and avail of government benefits. The previous version was available only in English, Hindi, Kannada and Marathi, said the Ministry of Labour and Employment.

Union Minister of Labour and Employment Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya on Tuesday launched the multilingual e-Shram portal which is in line with the vision of making it a ‘One-Stop-Solution’ website for all unorganised registered workers to avail benefits of various government schemes designed to support their welfare, livelihood and well being.

MEITY’s Bhashini project has been leveraged to upgrade the e-Shram portal with 22 languages. Registration of building and other construction workers (BoCW) and gig and platform workers on the portal is ongoing.

In his address, Dr. Mandaviya highlighted the growing trust in the e-Shram platform, sharing that the portal records 30,000 registrations per day on an average.

Secretary, Ministry of Labour and Employment, Sumita Dawra, informed that all relevant social security and welfare schemes will be integrated with the e-Shram portal, including those of State governments.

Dawra also mentioned that the launch of the e-Shram mobile app, introduction of a single common application form to enable single sign-in for users, and integration with payment gateways to further simplify access of social protection benefits, are some initiatives in the pipeline.
