Ministry of Labor and Employment On Saturday, he said that he has urged Gig workers (contracts, contracts) and stage workers to register on the e-earrings portal. The ministry said that by doing this, they will get formal recognition and they will be able to get the benefits of Ayushman Bharat Scheme. The Labor Minister said in a statement that the gig and stage economy is expanding. Let us tell you that Gig workers are called workers who work on the basis of temporary or freelance jobs. These workers usually work on contract or project basis and do not get regular salary or employee benefits (such as PF, insurance etc.). Under this, new jobs are available in areas such as rental taxi service, goods supply, logistics and professional services.
Employment for more than one crore workers
NITI Aayog estimates that the Gig economy in India will provide employment to more than one crore workers in 2024-25. After this, this figure will reach 2.35 crores by 2029-30. Recognizing the contribution of gig and stage workers in the country’s economy, the general budget 2025-26 has announced the registration of online forum workers on the e -ram portal, issuing identity cards and providing health services under the Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB-PMJAY).
Ministry will start the scheme soon
The Ministry of Labor and Employment will soon launch the scheme to implement these budget provisions. The statement said that as the first step, the Ministry has requested the forum workers to register themselves on the e -ram portal, so that they can be given benefits under the scheme as soon as possible.
