The Foreign Employment Board initiated the reintegration programme coordinating efforts with the local levels for the returnee Nepali migrant workers.
The Board is implementing this project for the first time for which it placed a separate directive to launch the project.
The Board said that the programme has been implemented by sharing cost with various local levels to breed returnee migrant workers into entrepreneurs.
Agreement has been inked with 81 local levels in all seven provinces to enforce the programme, shared Rama Bhattarai, Director of the Board.
A total of 21 local levels in Bagmati Province, 16 in Madhesh Province, 13 in Koshi Province, 14 in Gandaki Province and altogether 18 in Lumbini Province and Sudurpaschim Province have signed agreement with the Board for the project.
The Board is hopeful that estimated 3,000 returnee migrant workers would be benefited by the Programme. The Board has allocated over Rs 150 million budget for the project in the current fiscal year 2022/23.
Of the proposals submitted by the local level along with the programmes according to their needs and desires, the Board said that agreement was made that the local levels expressing interest to implement this programme would do so by adding 50 per cent of the amount allocated by the Board.
