Strengthen Social Security Scheme

The concept of social security is to maximise state benefits for citizens. In Nepal, a social security scheme was launched for the first time during the Manmohan Adhikary-led government by providing social security allowances for the elderly. Now, there are various such allowances for target groups of people such as widows and the disabled. In order to add a feather to the social security cap, the social security fund (SSF) was established in Chait 2067 in accordance with the Social Security Fund (Management and Operation) Rules, 2067. The Regulations are governed by the Social Security Act, 2075.
