Government Launches E Shram Card Scheme
The Government of India has introduced the e-Shram Card Scheme to provide support to the families of unemployed workers in India. This scheme offers a monthly allowance of ₹1,000 along with accident insurance of ₹2 lakh to the families of impoverished workers. The Ministry of Labor and Employment has initiated the E Shram Card program to ensure that all central government schemes benefit the working poor families in the country. The primary goal is to establish a centralized database of unorganized sector workers, such as construction workers, migrant workers, street vendors, and agricultural workers, and facilitate their employment based on their skills.
State-wise Distribution of Benefits
While the central government allocates funds to all states, each state government manages the distribution of these funds only within their respective states. For instance, in Uttar Pradesh, the government has disbursed installments of maintenance allowance to labor card holders, directly transferring the funds to their bank accounts. The E Shram Card program aims to provide financial assistance for house construction, access to government schemes, a monthly allowance of ₹1,000, potential pension benefits, accident insurance of ₹2 lakh, health treatment assistance, and support for pregnant women to maintain their children.
Inclusion in E Shram Card Payment List
Individuals who belong to the working class and have applied for the benefits of the e-Shram Yojana can easily check their name in the payment list using their mobile phones. The process can be completed from the comfort of their homes without the need to visit any other location. Those interested in adding their name to the E Shram Card Payment List 2024 should register through the e Shram portal by providing details such as mobile number and Aadhaar number. To check if your name is included in the new E Shram Card Yojana List 2024, follow the steps outlined on the official website, which include entering your mobile number linked to the e-Shram card and downloading the list once your name appears.
Conclusion
The E Shram Card Scheme aims to provide vital support to the most vulnerable sections of society in India, offering financial assistance and access to various government schemes. By centralizing a database of unorganized sector workers, the program seeks to enhance their employment opportunities and ensure their economic well-being. Interested individuals should register for the scheme to avail of benefits such as the monthly allowance, accident insurance, and other support services.
