New Delhi: In order to maintain a database of workers in the unorganised sector, the government will launch the E-Shram portal on Thursday. The Centre will launch the E-Shram portal at 3:30 pm today. Minister for Labour and Employment Bhupender Yadav had, earlier on August 24, unveiled the logo for the E-Shram portal.
