In the message, PM Dahal vowed to incorporate at least 2% of workers for the awards and honours annually conferred by various organs of the State.
"Furthermore, I express my commitment to making the monitoring mechanism further active to legitimise and ensure services and facilities for workers by clearly defining their role, responsibilities and rights," said PM Dahal.
The prime minister, on the occasion, also wished for health, peace, prosperity and progress to all working Nepalis in the country and abroad.
The Head of the government shared that he had directed all the government agencies and concerned agencies to provide occupational uniforms to all workers for safety as well as to provide them proper training to operate modern machines and tools in a bid to make unskilled and untrained workers working in risky situations trained and skilled.
"I vow to stand up for the Nepali workers' community, especially the farmers and workers. We have a historic responsibility to usher the Nepali working-class citizens towards a new era of prosperity and social justice. I will relentlessly work to deliver on this responsibility."
The International Labour Day (May Day) is being celebrated on May 1 worldwide including in Nepal in commemoration of the workers' movement in Chicago, the USA in 1886 that demanded respect and rights to workers.
