Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has directed the remittance service providing companies to make arrangements so that the remittance send by the Nepali citizens in abroad employment can be withdrawn easily in the situation of lockdown.

The central bank has also directed the remittance service providing companies to open their counter for paying the money remitted by Nepalis on foreign employment to their families.

Lockdown has been imposed since Thursday in various places of the country including in Kathmandu Valley following the increased risk of coronavirus pandemic.

NRB stated in a press release today that the remittance service provider firms have been urged to make these arrangements in view of the difficulty faced by the families of those Nepalis who are in abroad employment as they cannot easily access the remittances due to the lockdown. 

It also urged these companies to open their counter and provide the remittance-related financial services throughout the lockdown period by adopting all the health safety process with the presence of a minimum of staff by coordinating with local administration.

Likewise, the central bank has urged all to carry out the remittance fund transfer and foreign currency exchange in coordination with the bank and financial institutions as well as to make the transactions electronically as far as possible by fully keeping to the health safety protocol.

Due to the on-going Coronavirus pandemic, the traditional educational approach has been replaced by the online education system. Tribhuvan University (TU), the eldest university of Nepal, has also been conducting online classes of different faculties since last few months. However, several students who currently are in their hometowns or villages are facing internet problems and have been objecting the decision.

To resolve this problem, TU along with its affiliated campuses and colleges have decided to enable different highly-subsidized data pack offers catered by telecommunications service providers- NTC and Ncell, to aid the internet problem faced by several teachers and students. Previously, Ncell had brought Mobile Class Data Pack in collaboration with TU as well.

Recently, Shanker Dev Campus, a TU affiliated campus, has sent the list of the phone number of its students and teachers to NTC; and, has managed the subscription of suitable data pack for the students and teachers as per their requirement. 

Besides TU, other schools, colleges, institutions and universities are also subscribing the subsidized data packs such as e-Shikshya Package and Happy Learning Pack by NTC and Mobile class data pack and Student Plan by Ncell.
