The Nagaland Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board along with the Directorate of Information and Public Relations and Kohima Press Club launched a media partnership agreement at Hotel Vivor, Kohima on 6th April 2022.

Chairman of NBOCWWB, Kekhrie Yhome said the partnership with the two organizations came about because the DIPR has been consistently carrying out public relations and publicity work and the KPC has the talent for investigative journalism. He mentioned that the time was right for a first-of-its-kind collaboration with the DIPR and the Press.

Joint Director IPR, Asangla Imsong, and President KPC, Alice Yhoshü signed the Media Partnership Agreement on behalf of DIPR and KPC. They expressed appreciation to Yhome for developing the idea of collaboration to promote the welfare of the workers.

The objectives of the partnership are: to encourage collaboration between tangent establishments and support each other's obligation to public services; to promote public interest and highlight sectoral focus on workers associated with building and other constitution activities, and to publicize NBOCWWB's activities and mandate, particularly on social justice schemes and welfare benefits.

DIPR was given the responsibility to produce two short documentaries- a below 90 seconds clip highlighting NBOCWWB's welfare benefits and schemes, and a below 10 minutes clip strictly related to trends, status, and conditions of buildings and other construction workers.

KPC would initiate, innovate and institute fellowships or awards against any medium of mass communication provided the objective is strictly related to trends and conditions of building and other construction workers.

The NBOCWWB would provide financial assistance for the execution of the works.
