Nepali Embassy in Oman Hosts Special Orientation on Social Security and Labour Awareness for Nepali Workers

The Nepali Embassy in Oman organized a landmark orientation program on November 29, focusing on social service enrollment, consular services, and labor awareness for Nepali workers in the region.

Held at the embassy premises, the event featured Nepali Ambassador to Oman, Dornath Aryal, who emphasized the importance of Nepal’s Social Security Fund (SSF) and the government’s initiatives to safeguard workers’ rights and benefits. He commended the visiting SSF team, embassy staff, and local Nepali organizations for their active participation, according to a press statement issued by the embassy.

Deputy Executive Director of the SSF, Bibek Panthi, delivered a detailed presentation on the enrollment procedures and benefits of the scheme. The SSF team from Kathmandu included Assistant Director Radhika Niraula and IT Officer Rajesh Chapagain, marking the first time such services were offered in a foreign country.

The event also included a dedicated desk for labor and consular services, coordinated by Second Secretary Bishesh Kumar Sah and Labour Attaché Govinda Prasad Acharya. Approximately 215 Nepali workers received assistance during the camp.

In previous initiatives, the embassy conducted passport and consular service camps on weekends to accommodate workers unable to visit on weekdays. However, this camp stood out as the first to integrate social security enrollment and regularization services, providing critical support to the Nepali diaspora in Oman.

The program reflects the embassy’s commitment to enhancing welfare measures for Nepali workers abroad, ensuring their access to vital resources and services.
