DIMAPUR: Chief Secretary Sentiyanger Imchen launched the Nagaland LabourChowk mobile application at the Chief Secretary’s Conference Hall, Kohima, on September 2, 2026.
According to DIPR report, an initiative of the Department of Labour through the Nagaland Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (NBOCWWB), the app aims to modernise and streamline employment services for Building and Other Construction Workers (BOCW) in the State.
Developed to provide a transparent, accessible and technology driven platform, the application connects construction workers with employers while facilitating access to employment opportunities and welfare services.
Digital LabourChowk seeks to transform the traditional labour chowk system into a more dignified and digitally enabled platform. It will help workers access employment opportunities, welfare schemes and skill development services, while enabling employers to connect with registered workers.
The platform also aims to strengthen transparency and improve service delivery within the BOCW ecosystem by facilitating worker registration, job search and labour engagement through digital means.
For construction workers and stakeholders, the Nagaland LabourChowk mobile application is available for download on the Google Play Store. Workers can search for “Nagaland LabourChowk” on the Play Store, download the app and register to access employment opportunities and other services.
Employers and workers can also access the LabourChowk online portal at labourchowk.nagaland.gov.in to register, log in and avail services.
The initiative is expected to benefit construction workers across Nagaland by improving access to employment opportunities, welfare benefits and other support services through a single digital platform.
