Tamil Nadu lags in e-Shram registrations, achieves less than half of target, reveals Union government data
Tamil Nadu has achieved less than 50% of its e-Shram registration goal for unorganised workers, according to data from the Ministry of Labour and Employment. According to a written reply in the Lok Sabha on August 11, Tamil Nadu was assigned a target of 2.17 crore unorganised worker registrations. However, as of August 3, 2025, only 93.13 lakh workers had been registered — amounting to just 43% of the goal. The e-Shram portal, launched by the Union government in August 2021, is designed to bring platform workers, gig workers, and temporary labourers into a centralised welfare framework. Individuals who enrol on the portal become eligible for a range of government-backed social security benefits. These include medical cover of up to ₹5 lakh under the Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Scheme. In addition, registered workers are entitled to accidental death insurance of ₹2 lakh and ₹1 lakh in the case of permanent disability, along with access to various other schemes provided by the Union government. While Tamil Nadu is home to a vast informal labour force, it has not featured among the top 10 States in total registrations. In contrast, States like Uttar Pradesh have exceeded their targets, registering over 8.39 crore workers against a target of 6.66 crore. Interestingly, in Tamil Nadu, registration of female workers (59.4 lakh) outnumbers male workers (33.7 lakh). Despite this, the overall numbers reflect a substantial shortfall. Members of the Unorganised Workers Federation have urged authorities to intensify field-level outreach, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas where awareness about the e-Shram portal remains limited. The federation also called for the withdrawal of the four new labour codes and demanded industry-specific protections for vulnerable sectors, such as construction, fishing, and agriculture.

NHA, C-DAC launch e-Sushrut@Clinic HMIS for small healthcare providers
The National Health Authority (NHA) has inked a pact with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) to roll out a lightweight health information system (HMIS), which will help small and medium-sized healthcare providers in accessing and updating patient health records. The 'e-Sushrut@Clinic' application, developed by C-DAC, will be a lighter version of the e-Sushrut HMIS software currently in use at 17 AIIMS and over 4,000 health facilities nationwide. The platform will be Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM)-enabled, which aims to expand the adoption of ABDM and help create an interoperable digital health ecosystem. The lighter version also aims to make it easier for doctors in both public and private clinics to access and update patient health records, offer telemedicine services, and streamline diagnostics and prescriptions. 'eSushrut@Clinic is tailored for outpatient management, pharmacy, and nursing modules, and delivers essential functionalities at a low per-user cost, enabling small clinics, sub-centres, and medium-sized hospitals to digitise patient records, prescriptions, and billing with minimal technical overhead,' the Union Health Ministry said. The onboarding process for the HMIS has been kept simple, as any healthcare provider can onboard it from their laptop or mobile on a webpage through their Health Facility Registry (HFR) and Health Professionals Registry (HPR). The ministry said that the need for the software arose from feedback during the rollout of ABDM microsites, which highlighted a demand for a government-backed digital solution. 'Recognising that many AIIMS hospitals are already successfully using C-DAC's systems, the e-Sushrut@Clinic was developed to bring the same proven solution and credibility to private stakeholders,' it added.
