Kathmandu: The Embassy of Nepal in Muscat organized a labor awareness and financial literacy program on December 5 , providing essential information and services to Nepali migrant workers in Oman.
During the event, workers were briefed on the use of artificial intelligence in daily life, physical and mental well-being, the Social Security Fund, and regulations governing permissible and prohibited activities in Oman. The program also covered workplace awareness and key aspects of financial literacy, aiming to promote a safer and more productive lifestyle.
