Government of India Invites Platform Aggregators to Register themselves and their Platform Workers on e-Shram Portal

Toll-free Helpline (14434) has been set up to Provide Information and Guide Registration

Union Minister Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya to Meet Aggregators on 18.09.2024


Ministry of Labour & Employment has taken another major step in extending social security benefits to gig and platform workers by inviting platform aggregators to register their workers on the e-Shram portal. This registration is crucial to ensuring workers’ access to social welfare schemes, while aggregators will help develop an accurate registry of beneficiaries.

To guide the process, the Ministry has issued an advisory with a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) outlining aggregator responsibilities, including registering workers and updating their data. Upon registration, platform workers will receive a Universal Account Number (UAN), which will allow them access to key social security benefits.

Central Government, working with few aggregators, has successfully completed testing for API integration and is advancing the registration process. This joint effort aims to ensure full coverage of gig workers, with ongoing collaboration between the Ministry and platform aggregators.

Through the guidelines, the Aggregators have also been requested to regularly update workers’ details, including work engagement and payments. Any workers exit must be reported promptly to maintain accurate records.

To assist with the onboarding of workers and aggregators, a toll-free helpline (14434) has been set up to provide information, guide registration, and resolve any technical issues encountered during the process.

The Ministry has also scheduled a meeting with the Aggregators on 18.09.2024 which will be chaired by Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of Labour and Employment to sensitise and encourage them in this important initiative.

Cleanliness has now become a people’s movement: Shri Piyush Goyal

Shri Goyal leads Swachhata pledge for Officials of Commerce and Industry Ministry

Shri Goyal notes the transformative impact of PM Modi’s vision in shaping India’s future

Toilets have been built in homes, villages are now open defecation-free, and people hesitate to throw garbage on the streets: Shri Goyal.

Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal said that Cleanliness has now become a people’s movement. While administering the pledge for Swachhata to the officers and staff of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry today in New Delhi as part of the “Swachhata Hi Seva 2024” campaign, the Minister noted the transformative impact of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision, which has inspired millions and continues to shape the future of the nation.

The Minister highlighted that it has been 10 years since the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan was announced during PM Modi’s first speech from the Red Fort. “Today, as we travel across the country, we see the remarkable change brought about by this campaign. Toilets have been built in homes, villages are now open defecation-free, and people hesitate to throw garbage on the streets because of the awareness that has been created,” Shri Goyal remarked.

He further noted that the roots of the cleanliness movement can be traced back to Mahatma Gandhi’s ideals. Mahatma Gandhi, the father of our nation, believed that cleanliness is even above religion. PM Modi has taken forward Mahatma’s idea of trusteeship of the planet and driven the implementation of that vision, he said.

As part of the ongoing “Swachhata Hi Seva 2024” campaign, which spans 15 days, Shri Goyal urged officers and staff of the Ministry to dedicate themselves to the mission of a cleaner India. “This is our opportunity to contribute in unique ways to this national cause. Our collective efforts will create a better future for our children and help our nation achieve greater heights,” he added.

As the nation celebrates 100 days of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s third term in office, Shri Goyal stated, “The Prime Minister’s vision and his deep commitment to the nation are guiding us towards a bright and prosperous future. We have introduced newer and better ways of working during these 100 days of the government’s third term, building on the success of the past years.”

The event witnessed active participation from officers of the Ministry, as well as distinguished guests from the United States and Egypt. Additionally, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) organized a blood donation camp at Vanijya Bhawan to mark the occasion, showcasing the Ministry’s commitment to both public health and national cleanliness efforts.

Government removes Floor Price on Basmati Rice

In a significant step to boost export of basmati rice, a premier GI variety rice of India, the Government of India has decided to remove the floor price on export of basmati rice.

In response to ongoing trade concerns and adequate domestic availability of rice, the Government of India has now decided to completely remove the floor price on Basmati Rice exports. The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA) will closely monitor export contracts to prevent any non-realistic pricing of basmati rice and ensure transparency in export practices.

As a background, a floor price of $1,200 per metric ton (MT) was introduced in August 2023 as a temporary measure in response to rising domestic rice prices in the wake of tight domestic supply situation of rice and to curb any possible misclassification of non-basmati rice as basmati rice during exports, in view of the export prohibition on Non-Basmati White rice. Following representations from trade bodies and stakeholders, the government had then rationalized the floor price to $950 per MT in October, 2023.
