Chhattisgarh CM Launches ‘e-Shram Saathi’ App to Connect Workers with Jobs and Welfare Benefits
Raipur, Apr 29 (BNP): Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai has launched a new mobile application designed to strengthen access to employment opportunities and government welfare schemes for workers across the state.
The app, named ‘e-Shram Saathi’, was launched during a review meeting of the Labour Department held at Mantralaya Mahanadi Bhawan in Nava Raipur Atal Nagar. The initiative aims to create a simple digital platform where workers can connect with job opportunities and avail government services directly from their mobile phones.
The primary objective of the app is to bridge the gap between workers and employment systems by providing real-time access to job listings, labour-related services, and welfare schemes. It is intended to support both organised and unorganised sector workers by making essential information and services more accessible in one place.
Officials said the platform will also help improve transparency and efficiency in the delivery of labour welfare programs, ensuring that eligible beneficiaries can easily access government support without procedural delays.
During the meeting, the Chief Minister also directed officials to conduct surprise inspections of industrial units using technology-based monitoring systems. This step is aimed at strengthening worker safety, ensuring compliance with labour laws, and protecting workers’ rights in industrial workplaces.
The launch of the app reflects the state government’s broader effort to integrate technology into governance and improve last-mile delivery of employment and welfare services.
