Haryana launched the ShramMitra application on May 20, 2026, with the objective of creating a digital platform that connects workers and employers more efficiently. Developed by the Haryana Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board, the app functions as an Electronic Employment Exchange and aims to gradually replace the traditional labour chowk system. It supports Hindi, English, and Punjabi languages and already includes data on around 75,000 registered workers from 135 labour chowks. The platform facilitates employment opportunities for skilled workers such as masons, electricians, plumbers, carpenters, painters, welders, and various self-employed professionals, promoting greater transparency and accessibility in the labour market.
