West Bengal tops the list with about 1.7 crore registrations whereas Odisha follows it with 1.11 crore registrations. Further, over 85 lakh workers from Bihar have joined the portal too.

Moreover, an impressive 51.41 per cent of the total registered workers on the e-Shram portal are female whereas 61.4 per cent of the total workers are from the 18-40 years age bracket, Financial Express reports.
