Correct Answer : Option (D) - To provide social security benefits to gig workers

The Indian government's initiative aims to provide gig workers with access to social security benefits by creating a comprehensive database.

By registering on this portal, workers will receive a Universal Account Number (UAN), enabling access to key benefits.

This step ensures workers' access to social welfare benefits and maintains an accurate registry of beneficiaries.

The Ministry of Labour and Employment has issued guidelines outlining aggregator responsibilities, including registration and data updating of workers.
