NRNA NCC Facilitates Safe Repatriation of 51 Nepali Migrants from Cambodia

In recent months, the rise of fraudulent job networks and scam centers in parts of Cambodia and Myanmar has put multiple nationalities, including Nepali migrants, at serious risk. Lured by promises of attractive employment opportunities, many individuals found themselves trapped in exploitative and unsafe conditions. In such critical situations, timely intervention and coordinated support become essential, and this is where the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) National Coordination Committee has played a crucial role.

NRNA, through its national coordination committees and in close collaboration with diplomatic missions and partner organizations, has been actively working to ensure the safety and repatriation of affected Nepali citizens. These efforts go beyond emergency response; they reflect a deep commitment to protecting the dignity, rights, and well-being of Nepalis abroad.

A recent example of this collective effort was witnessed on March 24, 2026. In coordination with the Nepal Embassy in Thailand, NRNA NCC Cambodia, and GDI Cambodia, a total of 51 Nepali nationals were successfully and safely repatriated to Nepal. This operation required strong coordination, logistical planning, and continuous communication among stakeholders to ensure a smooth and secure return process.

Such initiatives highlight the importance of partnership and trust. The role of NRNA has been instrumental not only in identifying and reaching out to affected individuals but also in facilitating dialogue with authorities, providing necessary support, and ensuring that migrants are not left alone in times of crisis.

At the same time, this situation serves as a reminder of the need for increased awareness and preventive measures. Prospective migrants/job seekers must be better informed about the risks of fraudulent recruitment and the importance of verifying job offers through official and trusted channels.

NRNA remains committed to strengthening its efforts in migrant protection, advocacy, and support services. The safe return of every Nepali citizen is not just a responsibility; it is a shared mission rooted in solidarity and care for our global community.

As we welcome those who have returned, we extend our heartfelt wishes for their safe reintegration and a hopeful new beginning. I also sincerely urge job seekers and prospective migrants to remain cautious and avoid fraudulent opportunities and scam jobs.


Thank you, NRNA NCC Cambodia Family

Two Climate Disasters, 150 km Apart: How Drought in Terai and Floods in the Hills Are Devastating Lives and Livelihoods in Nepal

  Madhesh Battling Severe Drought (25 July 2025)  Madhesh Province is currently grappling with a severe drought. The paddy plants in the fields are starting to dry up, and cracks have begun to appear in the soil. The situation has become so dire that the government has officially declared the region a disaster-affected zone and deployed technical teams to assess the impact. According to the Center for Crop Development and Agricultural Biodiversity Conservation under the Department of Agriculture, only 46% of the total paddy fields in Madhesh had been planted by mid-July. As the region is one of Nepal’s major rice-producing areas, this delay poses a serious threat to food security and the livelihoods of thousands of farmers unless urgent relief and long-term solutions are implemented. Flash Flood Strikes Rasuwa, Disrupts Life (8 July 2025)  On July 8, 2025, a sudden flash flood surged down from Tibet’s Lhende River and struck Nepal’s Rasuwa district with devastating force....

We Didn’t Learn the Word, But We’re Living the Crisis

Photo : Dr. Manjurul Karim Nepal is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world. Our rugged mountains, monsoon-fed rivers, reliance on natural resources for daily living, and unplanned development have all made us vulnerable. Now, with global climate change accelerating, that vulnerability is only growing. Temperatures are rising. Rainfall patterns are becoming increasingly erratic. Air pollution is worsening. Glaciers are melting faster, swelling glacial lakes to dangerous levels and increasing the risk of sudden floods. The signs of climate change are no longer distant; they are here, and they are affecting us now. We're seeing more intense rainfall in shorter periods and longer stretches without any rain. These extremes have caused frequent and severe disasters. Our water sources are drying up, impacting everything from food security and drinking water to biodiversity, public health, and energy supply. Infrastructure, hydropower, urban development, and even agricultur...

The Hidden Costs of Remittances: Nepali Migrants in the Gulf Countries

Migration Status of Nepal In the Nepali year 2080 (from 2023-07-17 to 2024-07-15), a total of 741,297 (with re-entry) labor approvals were granted, with 11% of these being female workers. The approvals were processed by Nepal's Department of Foreign Employment. Of the total, 62% (460,102) were without re-entry into the labor market, including 12% female migrants. Among those without re-entry, 71% migrated to four Gulf countries, with Malaysia receiving 18%, Qatar 9%, Saudi Arabia 16%, and the UAE 28%. This data highlights the fact that Nepali migrants are heavily concentrated in the Gulf countries. Looking at the skill categories of these labor approvals, it is concerning that 19.63% of migrants were unskilled laborers, while 0.10% were highly skilled, 0.37% were professionals, 8.11% were semi-skilled, and 71.78% were classified as skilled. The four Gulf countries are key destination countries for Nepali labor migration, as shown by the figures (326,435, 71% in four countries: Ma...
