Mysuru: Assistant labor commissioner Nazia Sultana has called upon workers in the unorganized sector to enroll their names on the Centre’s e-shram portal to avail benefits of social security schemes provided by the government.
She was speaking at a public awareness program about schemes introduced by the labor department at Maharaja Pre-University College in the city on Thursday.

Workers in diverse occupations such as construction, apparel manufacturing, fishing, gig and platform work, street vending, domestic work, agriculture and allied transport sector can register on the portal, she said.
Workers in the unorganized sector with monthly income below Rs 15,000, income tax non-payers can avail this card.
