Registered workers to get identity cards to avail benefits announced by govt.
The number of workers from the unorganised sector, mostly comprising those from other States who have registered themselves with the e-Shram portal, touched 21,784 in Ernakulam district as on Monday.
The campaign to register workers in the unorganised sector, who do not enjoy PF, ESI, and other benefits, is a Union Government initiative to create a database of workers to offer them protection and support.
Workers from various sectors, including agricultural labourers, are being brought under the purview of the database to enable them to avail benefits. Each registered worker will be issued an identity card, which can be used across the country to avail any benefits announced by the Government. The benefits include those offered during natural calamities.
