Chief Minister Raman Singh has extended hearty greetings to labourers of the State on the occasion of International labour Day (May Day) on May 1. In his message, Singh stated that labourers have the greatest contribution in progress and prosperity of any society, State or country. The labourers put in their strenuous efforts to build roads, bridges, railway routes, schools and college buildings, hospital buildings and various kinds of public facilities.
Keeping in view this important role of labourers in nation building, the Chhattisgarh Government has initiated several schemes for labourers of both organised and unorganised sectors of the State. The State Government’s undertakings like Chhattisgarh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board and labour Welfare Board are effectively implementing the labour-welfare schemes to benefit labourers of unorganised sector and organised sectors respectively. A provision have been made for free distribution of bicycles and sewing machines to female labourers of unorganised sector, distribution of free tool-kits for male labourers, insurance cover for their families, scholarships for their children and other such facilities, he said.
On the occasion, the CM has prayed for peace and prosperity all the labourers of the State and their families. Singh has appealed the labourers of unorganised sector to get their names registered in like C’garh Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board so as to avail the benefits of various Government schemes. They can contact District Office of labour Department for registration.
