Govt plans to integrate Gati Shakti portal with e-Shram database

The move is also expected to reduce skill gap and help nodal agencies plan their workforce requirements better as on several times projects face delay or the cost escalates due to the non-availability of suitable workers in a specific location.

"Once, the database consisting millions of unorganised workers is projected onto the Gati Shakti portal, nodal agencies could easily see the availability of the skilled and unskilled workers and plan their workforce requirements with ease. While most of the workers registered on the portal are engaged in agriculture, a large number of workers who are proficient in skills such as masonry, carpentry, plumbing are also registered," the official said.
