The Chief Minister stated that construction workers are the backbone of the development of the economy. Be it roads, railways, buildings, factories, ports, airports, schools, hospitals or any other construction, it is impossible to imagine it without you. Man is a creation of God, who can be a creator. He can think and create. The process of forging is construction. The contribution of manpower is greatest in construction. Our skilled workers can transform the ordinary into extraordinary. Beautiful buildings can be built using cement, sand and bricks. Iron, steel and aluminium are used in steel mills. Therefore, it is a true nation builder. The construction sector not only enriches our economy but also provides ample employment. A blend of traditional knowledge and modern technology can be seen in the field of construction.
State government takes construction workers’ problems seriously

The Odisha Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board was constituted keeping in mind how to protect them in times of need, hardship, after termination of service or in case of accident or natural death and for the welfare of their families. Therefore, everyone has to register their name with the board to get social security. In times of crisis, this organisation will act not only as a government agency but also as your dear friend. Labour officials are also available to help you in every district. A portal called ‘Mo Seva’ is also working for this.
