The Nepal Trade Union Congress (NTUC) is a national trade union center in Nepal. Founded in 1947, it is the first and largest trade union confederation in the country. The NTUC is affiliated with the Nepali Congress (NC). NTUC states that its mission is to "raise the living standard of the workers for sustainable development by cooperating with stakeholders to ensure dignified work while remaining committed to democratic socialism."
In 2008, the NTUC and the Democratic Confederation of Nepalese Trade Unions (DECONT) merged to form the NTUC-Independent (DECONT had split from the NTUC in 1997). While still known as NTUC-I, the union has reverted to the former name.
The 6th National Congress was held on June 12–15, 2018 in Kathmandu, which elected Pushkar Acharya as president. The NTUC has 26 sectoral unions and 7 province committees.
