It isn&rsquo;t working as it should because the government insists on Aadhaar, which many workers do not have.

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>New Delhi: </em>In November 2021, Rifaat Bibi*, a domestic worker in her thirties, tried to enrol in the first national database of unorganised workers through the e-Shram portal, launched in August 2021 by the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide social security measures for India&rsquo;s estimated 380 million unorganised workers.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Among the benefits promised were accident insurance of Rs 200,000; welfare entitlements that may be accessed by workers anywhere in India; and their names and locations on a database for union and state governments to deliver relief during a crisis, such as the Covid-19 pandemic.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">Bibi had moved with her husband and two children a decade ago from West Bengal to Delhi in search of a better life but lost her home and belongings in a fire that razed her slum colony almost as soon as they got there.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">The e-Shram portal offered, for the first time, hope of direct government assistance.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;Sab bolte hai kuch labh milega, registration karao jaldi&rdquo; (Everyone says it will lead to some benefits, register soon),&rdquo; said Bibi, who was unaware of what those benefits might be. &nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">To register on the e-Shram portal, however, she needed her original Aadhaar-linked phone number, which would now be linked to the workers&rsquo; database. That phone was lost to the fire, and so many years later, she couldn&rsquo;t remember the number. &nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">&ldquo;Ab itne saalon baad, woh wala phone number kaise yaad karu? (How do I remember that phone number from so many years ago?)&rdquo; she asked. &ldquo;We anyway find it difficult to remember numbers.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align:justify">She almost gave up on e-Shram, when she was told that the Aadhaar-linked phone number was a mandatory requirement to get the one-time password (OTP) for registering as a worker on the database.&nbsp;</p>

The Incomplete Project Of E-Shram, India’s Database Of Unorganised Workers -Sweta Dash
-Article-14.com
India’s 380 million informal workers will be registered on a new database that will allow, says the government, social security payments. It isn’t working as it should because the government insists on Aadhaar, which many workers do not have. Others do not know of it, and if they do, may not be digitally literate, and it isn’t clear what entitlements will follow for workers whose data are being collected.
New Delhi: In November 2021, Rifaat Bibi*, a domestic worker in her thirties, tried to enrol in the first national database of unorganised workers through the e-Shram portal, launched in August 2021 by the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide social security measures for India’s estimated 380 million unorganised workers.
Among the benefits promised were accident insurance of Rs 200,000; welfare entitlements that may be accessed by workers anywhere in India; and their names and locations on a database for union and state governments to deliver relief during a crisis, such as the Covid-19 pandemic.
Bibi had moved with her husband and two children a decade ago from West Bengal to Delhi in search of a better life but lost her home and belongings in a fire that razed her slum colony almost as soon as they got there.
The e-Shram portal offered, for the first time, hope of direct government assistance.
“Sab bolte hai kuch labh milega, registration karao jaldi” (Everyone says it will lead to some benefits, register soon),” said Bibi, who was unaware of what those benefits might be.
To register on the e-Shram portal, however, she needed her original Aadhaar-linked phone number, which would now be linked to the workers’ database. That phone was lost to the fire, and so many years later, she couldn’t remember the number.
“Ab itne saalon baad, woh wala phone number kaise yaad karu? (How do I remember that phone number from so many years ago?)” she asked. “We anyway find it difficult to remember numbers.”
She almost gave up on e-Shram, when she was told that the Aadhaar-linked phone number was a mandatory requirement to get the one-time password (OTP) for registering as a worker on the database.
