The government of Nepal has launched a shramsansar app, an online job finder where employers can find their employees. The Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli officially virtually inaugurated the ambitious website on May 01, 2025, marking International Labor Day.
PM Oli said that the government job finding platform will soon be integrated into another government service, the Nagarik app.
In the meantime, the Minister of Labor, Employment, and Social Security, Sharad Singh Bhandari, expressed a commitment to start a campaign to provide all types of jobs at the local level.
“The portal has been launched. All local levels and workers will have access to it through a mobile application. Along with this, the ministry will launch a campaign to provide all types of labor and employment-related services from the local level,” she said.
The minister also expressed his hope that the shramsansar portal will help the labor market information system to effectively implement the ‘Internal Employment Promotion Decade’ announced by the government.
What is the shramsansar job finding app?
Shramsansar is a job app and a portal established by the Ministry of Labor, Employment, and Social Security to provide employment. According to the ministry, the portal aims to provide official information on employment, provide training, and promote entrepreneurship. The digital space lets you find jobs in health, commerce, fishery, cookery, engineering, agriculture, IT, etc.
The scale of the portal is quite large, too. The Labor Ministry says that the portal will bring all three tiers of the government, job-seekers, employers, and others, and will provide official information regarding the job market.
The shramsansar platform is operated through the Employment Service Centers at each local level in coordination with the federal and provincial governments.
How to find jobs on shramsansar?
Here are the steps to use and find jobs on shramsansar portal:
- Open the shramsansar app or visit shramsansar.gov.np.
- On the app, tap on Rojgari, enter your province, district, local level, and job category, and search for jobs available
- On the portal, enter your job category in the field left to Search on the home page

NOTE: To apply for jobs, you need to create an account for the shramsansar service. I personally found it quite comprehensive as required, but it will certainly take a while. Thankfully, registration on shramsansar is free.

What I liked about shramsansar job app and my hopes
Shramsansar seems to be a versatile and holistic job finder. Both its app version and website are detailed and engaging. It seems to do the job well. What I also liked is its integration with other online job-finding platforms. I could see some vacancies from Merojob and others.
The vacancy shows a level of job (basic, mid, high, salary, location, etc.). Another good part is that it shows information about different training programs. In all, it feels like a wholesome digital space that extends beyond just being a job-finding app or portal.
But my wish is that it works for the youth and evolves. And I feel quite hopeful about it. It’s integrated with three levels of government and integrates other job-related agencies. So, its scope and potential are large.
