Correct Answer
Option C — eSHRAM
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The Ministry of Labour and Employment launched eSHRAM -- India's first national database of unorganised workers -- in August 2021. The portal (eshram.gov.in) registers unorganised workers (construction workers, migrant workers, gig workers, street vendors, domestic workers, etc.) and issues them an eSHRAM card with a Unique Worker Identification Number (UWIN). The database helps the government deliver social security benefits, welfare schemes, and emergency assistance directly to unorganised workers.
