Deputy Commissioner/CEO, LAHDC, Leh, Shrikant Balasaheb Suse launched the Registration of Labourers (RoL) Ladakh web portal and Android mobile app on March 29 in Leh.

The technical team comprising Rigzin Gurmet and Abdul Rashid (both network engineers) were also present during the launch event.
 
DC Leh, Shrikant Suse informed that this Android mobile app is available on the Google Play Store that can be searched under RoL Ladakh or by clicking the link 
 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nicjkapps. RoL Ladakh has a parallel web interface that could be accessed at http://labouremp.ladakh.gov.in. Both the portal and mobile app have been indigenously designed and developed by National Informatics Centre (NIC), District Leh.

Technical Director and DIO Leh, Punchok Paldan; Scientist-B and ADIO Leh, Tondup Tashi were also present during the launch ceremony.

DIO Leh, Punchok Paldan about the features of both the web portal and the mobile app. ADIO Tashi Tondup gave a detailed presentation on the functionality of the mobile app and web portal. 

The main objectives of the mobile application are to provide a platform for the workers to register themselves with the concerned labour department for availing labour card from anywhere. The application will help the labour department to check the authenticity of the workers based on which labour card would be issued. It will also help in building a database of migrant and native workers needed to assess the availability of labourers for developmental projects and agricultural works, and one point data source to facilitate/enable the citizens in obtaining labour to engage for their domestic and agricultural works as per their requirement. The information collected would be beneficial for assessing the plans, development, and execution of projects.

The citizens can search for labourers/workers from anywhere at any time without going anywhere to engage them in their domestic or agricultural works. It also has a notice board that would be updated timely by the labour department with the latest advisories for awareness and information of the citizens and the workers.  

DC Leh congratulated NIC Leh for its effort in designing and developing the in-house solution in a time-bound manner and for rolling it out for the benefit of authorities and the public. He also directed the officials to update data on the portal regularly and bring more departments to this platform.
