This portal is used for the registration of contract laborers, due to which they get to know all the benefits and schemes. Also, the information of the workers remains safe through this portal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to the Ministry of Railways, the Shramik Kalyan Portal is a fully digital and transparent system. For every contract worker engaged, contractors are required to create their profile on the portal and regularly update details such as wage payments, provident fund (EPF), and insurance (ESIC) contributions. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ensures that workers receive their wages on time and in line with the Minimum Wages Act.

This portal works on the vast network of Indian Railways. Many workers and laborers can connect directly or indirectly on it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier there used to be no centralized record of laborers, due to which they could not get the benefits of many schemes and the laborers did not have information about many important things. Also-<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Due to incomplete information, laborers were not able to get the benefits of facilities like insurance and salary.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0Many times laborers and workers were exploited by taking advantage of their weakness.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The rights of laborers were also suppressed.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ministry of Indian Railways started the Shramik Kalyan Portal after considering all these problems of the laborers.
