The Punjab Labour & Human Resource Department (PL&HRD) is going to launch a mobile application. The purpose of this application is for the registration of small businesses across the province.
According to the reporters, this news was announced during a recent meeting with PL&HRD Secretary Ahmed Javed Qazi in the chair.
PL&HRD Secretary Ahmed Javed Qazi underlined the need for an electronic system in governmental institutions for efficient working and directed the PITB officials to take up the development on a preference basis.
The app will help people working in shops and stores to register themselves with the labor department.
The Minister of Labor for Punjab, Ansar Majeed Khan Niazi, was complacent with the initiative. He expressed intentions to automate the entire registration process of the department to help the laborers.
Following the registration, these workers will receive online certificates, which the labor officer will be able to verify using QR code during his visit to the premises.
The secretary further highlighted the projects launched to automate business systems in Punjab.
The news of the mobile application system will increase the number of registered laborers in the province.
The purpose of this application is not only for laborers to get themselves registered. The minister also noted that the incumbent government is surveying laborers’ registration in the entire province.
Ansar Majeed Khan Niazi said that during the 2014 survey, the number of registered laborers in the province was one million. He said our mission is to double down the registrations by 2022,” he added.
