The campaign is divided into two phases. The first phase, titled “Yo Chaad Parwa IME Garau Uddhyami Banau,” is a festival-focused campaign offering attractive gifts on daily, weekly and monthly basis.

Announcing the new campaign, Chairman Dhakal emphasized the importance of linking remittances with entrepreneurship for the sustainable economic growth in Nepal. Chairman Dhakal underscored that the skills acquired abroad are crucial to foster entrepreneurship within Nepal. The campaign has been launched with an effort of motivating migrant workforce to earn, save, and start their own businesses in Nepal, he further highlighted. He urged migrant workers and remittance-receiving households to utilize remittances in the productive sector to ensure a sustainable growth.
