The e-Shram scheme was launched by the Central Government’s Ministry of Employment and Labor to aid workers in the unorganized sector of India. Under this scheme, the Central government is obligated to transfer Rs 1000 every month to the e-shram account of workers.
Additionally, this monthly sum is distributed to those workers who have not been part of any labor department initiative. Hence, it is aimed at helping them save money and provide a living for themselves and their families.
According to the Uttar Pradesh government, a total of 1.5 crore has been transferred to workers under this scheme. In addition to this and the rising COVID-19 scenario in the country, it has also been said that workers in the unorganized sector shall receive a maintenance payment till the pandemic period is over.
