KATHMANDU: Public Service Broadcasting Nepal (PSB Nepal), which oversees Radio Nepal and Nepal Television, has been enrolled in the Social Security Fund.

The decision was taken at a meeting of PSB Nepal’s Board of Directors on 29 Poush, which approved operating guidelines for the fund and resolved to register the institutions under the scheme. The enrolment has taken effect from the month of Magh.

PSB Nepal said the move would extend social security benefits to employees working on contract, bulletin-based assignments and daily wages within the organisation.

The enrolment marks a significant step towards expanding social protection for non-permanent staff in Nepal’s public broadcasting sector.
