The Role of JK Labour Registration Portal
The JK Labour Registration portal plays a crucial role in empowering laborers in Jammu and Kashmir by providing them with access to various government schemes and benefits. By registering on the portal, laborers can avail themselves of fair compensation, gratuity, health insurance, and financial support for their children’s education.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to improve the working conditions and living standards of laborers in J&K. It also aims to foster self-dependency among registered laborers, thereby contributing to their overall welfare and socio-economic development.
