"Free corona vaccination is being done for the workers associated with e-labor.. Contact the designated 'ESI Hospital / Dispensary Vaccine Center' of your district today...," Directorate General Labour Welfare (DGLW) tweeted from its official Twitter handle recently.

 

The central government rolled out a national database for unorganised workers for the overall welfare of crores of these workers of the country. The e-Shram Portal was launched on August 26, 2021 and the government also provides the e-Shram card to the workers.

The workers who have registered on e-Shram portal and are yet to be vaccinated must visit the ESI Hospital or dispensary vaccine centres in their districts today to get themselves vaccinated.

More than 25 crore e-Shram members

Also, more than 25 crore unorganised workers have registered on the e-Shram portal. "The fast growing steps of the unorganized workers. Thank you all for your contribution in completing 25 crore registrations on e-shram," another recent tweet from DGLW said.
