e-Shram serves as the national database for unorganized workers. Aquaculture laborers and fish farmers can register to secure social security and government financial assistance. The program issues a Universal Account Number (UAN) and provides accident insurance and future pension benefits. Key benefits include:
– Accident Insurance: Provides up to ₹2 Lakh for accidental death or permanent disability, and ₹1 Lakh for partial disability.
– Pension Scheme: Registered workers aged 60 and above can become eligible for a minimum monthly pension of ₹3,000.
– Scheme Linkage: The platform connects workers to other central and state welfare schemes (e.g., PM-MKSSY).
