To enhance the accessibility of the e-Shram portal, the Ministry of Labour and Employment launched multilingual functionality on the e-Shram portal on January 7, 2025, using the Bhashini platform.
“This enhancement now allows workers to interact with e-Shram portal in 22 Indian languages, improving accessibility and promoting inclusivity for all,” the Union MoS said in her written reply.
To make e-Shram and associated services, readily available to unorganized workers, the Ministry of Labour and Employment launched the e-Shram mobile application on February 24, 2025.
