PM Oli calls for ensuring citizens’ broader access to labour

Kathmandu:  Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli has stressed the need to ensure citizens’ access to all the opportunities of labour and employment.

Launching the Shramsansar online portal on the occasion of the 136th International Workers’ Day (May Day) on Thursday, PM Oli was of the view of addressing challenges in regard with foreign employment. He pressed the need that all government services relating to labour, employment and social security should be made easily accessible to all citizens by integrating the Portal into the Nagarik App.

Speaking of the inevitability of IT in the achievement of the goal of “Prosperous Nepal, Happy Nepali”, he said the role of IT is vital in building a knowledge-based society, a digital economy, achieving the goals of development and prosperity and providing services to the citizens in an easier way.

PM Oli said the government considered the need to incorporate the use of IT in the labour market in the upcoming government policies and programs. Stating that the development of strategic plans is underway to observe the upcoming decade as the Decade for Promoting Internal Service, he called all to be part of this initiative.

The Portal aims to support employment-related matters, analyse labour demand and supply, regulate employers, and improve access to services without physical or bureaucratic barriers. By enhancing skills and regulating the labour force, the system seeks to promote grassroots inclusion and contribute to national prosperity.
