What is JKBOCWWB and Its Purpose

The Jammu and Kashmir Building and Other Construction Workers Welfare Board (JKBOCWWB) functions under the Labour and Employment Department of the J&K Government. It is responsible for providing social security and welfare benefits to registered construction workers across the Union Territory. The board runs several welfare programs including education support, marriage assistance, maternity aid, medical care, and accident relief. Among these, the Education Assistance Scheme is one of the most impactful initiatives that help workers educate their children and secure their future.

Reason Behind the Extension

The Board decided to extend the application deadline after receiving multiple reports from different districts where workers faced technical problems while submitting online applications. Many workers could not upload required documents or complete the process in time due to server issues and procedural delays. To ensure every eligible worker benefits, the Board allowed this one-time extension till November 5, 2025. Officials confirmed that this will be the final opportunity for the current financial year.
