Hon'ble Minister Desk

I welcome you to the website of Odisha Labour Welfare Board. The aim of the web portal is to provide updated information about the activities of the Board. I am hopeful that this will act as a means of two way communication enabling exchange of knowledge and informing about the Policy, guidelines, Schemes, Services, Acts & Rules and activities of the State Government for welfare of the people.

Prompt and hassle free access to updated information is the prime need of the hour. I am extremely glad that this website has been launched to ensure this objective.

Transparency and accountability are the hallmarks of good governance which is both means and also an end. With this end in view, this website has been hosted for keeping all concerned abreast of latest information.
