He highlighted the registration numbers and widespread participation in the initiative, as of December 4, 2023.

Launched on August 26, 2021, the primary objective of the eShram portal is to establish a database for unorganised workers, facilitating the delivery of Social Security and welfare schemes to this vital workforce. Key features include Aadhaar-seeded registration, capturing family details of migrant workers, and sharing construction workers' data with states/UTs for Building and other Construction Workers (BoCW) board registration. The portal is seamlessly integrated with the National Career Service (NCS) and Pradhan Mantri Shram-yogi Maandhan (PM-SYM), offering job opportunities and pension schemes, respectively. Moreover, eShram provides avenues for skill enhancement and apprenticeships by integrating with the Skill India Digital portal.
