Summary:

The Ministry of Labour and Employment (MoLE), has established (with the support of IOM) a Migrant Resource Center in Kathmandu which provides correct and reliable information on overseas migration and destination countries to potential labour migrants. This includes mandatory pre-departure training to migrants, literacy training to families of migrants and entrepreneurship training to returnees - the MRC's have been expanded in order to cover more districts. Insurance is also mandatory for every departing migrant.
