Record Registration
According to The Indian Express report, more than 8.43 crore workers have registered with their identity cards (Aadhaar) on the E-Shram portal; however, the Centre is working on establishing a synergy between the social security schemes, the government, NGOs, and the private sector.
According to the report, the government has set a target of 38-crore registrations. Once that is achieved, it will provide an insight into the number of migrant workers and those already registered with the organised sector.
After the registration is completed, tha data will be analysed to mark the difference between the home address and work address. If the work address is outside the hometown, one will fall under the migrant workers' category, a senior official told the media.
'Use Database To Identify And Hire'
"Say, for example, a municipality wants to engage masons or any other workers, they can use the database to identify and hire such workers for local projects," the official was quoted as saying.
