NBOCWWB organises programme in Kma

Nagaland Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (NBOCWWB) conducted an awareness campaign and field registration drive at Malo-o Indoor Stadium, Chedema village, here, on Friday.
In his address, chairman of the board, Kekhrie Yhome informed that the programme was attended by a conglomerate of villages.
He pointed out that the government has various schemes to cater to the need of the public, by reaching out to every village.
Kekhrie said the board’s work was to streamline those schemes and make it accessible to every household.
Sharing his observation, he said daily wage earners and labourers faced tremendous hardships everyday. However, he pointed out that there was a huge cache of resources and wealth in this sector which could be tapped.
Observing that workers who were smart had potential to become financially stable, he suggested that they become aware of the latest traits that were being practiced in the sector and earn well instead of following traditional practices.
He also encouraged workers to unionise and build teams which could undertake bigger projects.
Highlighting the need for one such team in each village, Kekhrie informed the workers that the department would be organising training programmes under various schemes where workers would be taught to work together.
Pointing out the need to streamline male and female workers, he said women should not register if they were not actively working in any of the works undertaken under the sector.
Earlier, the programme was chaired by assistant labour commissioner, Zaremo Kikon, invocation was offered by CRC Chedema village, assistant pastor Kekhrieselie Chakrüno, Chedema village council member Kekhrievolie Keyho delivered welcome address while secretary Seyiechütuo Suokhrie proposed vote of thanks.
A special number was also presented by Neikono Chakrüno.
Hundreds of workers from within and nearby villages registered with the board.
