• 1. Background and Justification
• Out of Total Population of Nepal the active
  labour force is estimated to be 11.5 millions.
  Almost 80 of this workforce are engaged in
  Agriculture and agro related activity.
• Agriculture based workers are living in rural
  area. There is no access of education and
  communication.
• The Economical situation of agriculture workers
  is very bad. Lack of systematic Wage system they
  are compelled to live with domination. The
  market deregulation has restriction on prices.
  The cost of living has increased heavily . The
  minimum wage rate is 60.00 Nrs. for a day. This
  is very low for the survival. But this is not
  implemented.

  organised and rest of 95 are unorganized. Most
  of them are unknown about present situation,

  retirement scheme and compulsory retirement
  scheme in the organized sector also.

  have been learned various subject for securing
  workers rights in present global situation. As a
  member of Education department this is my duty
  and privilege to share my Knowledge to our
  friends and leaders.
