Nepal Trade Union Congress expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the Honorable Prime Minister K.P. Sharma for his message to the working brothers and sisters scattered around the world and for extending his encouragement for all workers. This Congress is especially concerned on the fact that the Prime Minister has assured that the monthly wages of the workers would be increased by NPR 1,550 from current NPR 13,450 to NPR 15,000 and daily wages of the workers would be increased by NPR 60, thus increasing the minimum daily wage from NPR 517 to NPR 577 effective from Fiscal Year 2078/79.
