The labor movement in Nepal started on March 4, 1947, in Biratnagar against the hereditary Rana rule for the establishment of democracy and advancement of workers’ rights. In 1948, Girija Prasad Koirala founded the Nepal Mazdoor Congress, later known as the Nepal Trade Union Congress-Independent. NTUCI also actively agitated and protested in the 2006 democracy movement in Nepal against the direct and undemocratic rule of King Gyanendra of Nepal. Many trade union leaders along with Kunwar were put in jail and some fled to India. The ideology of NTUCI was based on democracy, nationalism and socialism. NTUCI is affiliated with the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the International Labour Organization."],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"19 September 1956","date":"1956-09-19"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7289665#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"Pokhara","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q6640","page":"https://diginpl.com/places/pokhara"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7289665#P19"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"Nepal","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q837"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7289665#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"trade unionist","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15627169"},{"text":"politician","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q82955"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7289665#P106"}},{"key":"party","label":"Political party","values":[{"text":"Nepali Congress","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q216660"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7289665#P102"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramjee_Kunwar","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7289665"],"faq":[{"q":"When was Ramjee Kunwar born?","a":"Ramjee Kunwar was born on 19 September 1956 in Pokhara."}],"related":[{"name":"Ram Chandra Mandal","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/ram-chandra-mandal"},{"name":"Upendra Mahato","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/upendra-mahato-q67912160"},{"name":"Onsari Gharti Magar","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/onsari-gharti-magar"},{"name":"Arjun Bahadur Thapa","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/arjun-bahadur-thapa"},{"name":"Chautariya Pushkar Shah","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/chautariya-pushkar-shah"},{"name":"Jigme Dorje Palbar Bista","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/jigme-dorje-palbar-bista"},{"name":"Kamal Thapa","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/kamal-thapa"},{"name":"Krishna Bahadur Mahara","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/krishna-bahadur-mahara"},{"name":"Prince Bahadur Shah of Nepal","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/prince-bahadur-shah-of-nepal"},{"name":"Pushpa Lal Shrestha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/pushpa-lal-shrestha"},{"name":"Barsaman Pun","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/barsaman-pun"},{"name":"Bhumika Shrestha","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/bhumika-shrestha"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":{"url":"https://diginpl.com/kb-img/ramjee-kunwar-514b646156.jpg","width":500,"height":376,"license":"Public domain","credit":"Prashantk23","page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mr._Ramjee_Kunwar.jpg"},"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): Ramjee Kunwar","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramjee_Kunwar","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q7289665","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q7289665","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},{"label":"Image: Mr. Ramjee Kunwar.jpg by Prashantk23 (Public domain)","url":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mr._Ramjee_Kunwar.jpg","license":null}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article Ramjee Kunwar, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
