Govt plans to integrate Gati Shakti portal with e-Shram database

Integration aimed to reduce skill gap and help nodal agencies plan their workforce requirements better

The government is planning to integrate the e-Shram portal database of over 300 million unorganised workers with the Gati Shakti portal to improve logistics planning and increase employment opportunities for the locals.  

 

The move is also expected to reduce skill gap and help nodal agencies plan their workforce requirements better as on several times projects face delay or the cost escalates due to the non-availability of suitable workers in a specific location.
