On the occasion of its 65th Independence Day today, India gifted 20 ambulances and four buses to various medical, education and welfare institutions in Nepal, benefiting institutions in 17 districts. In addition, 50 schools and other educational institutions received educational materials.
At a public function held on the embassy premises in Kathmandu to mark the Indian Independence Day, Charge d’ Affaires Jaideep Mazumdar hoisted the national flag and read out the Independent day message of the President of India.
In the message, the Indian president stressed, among other things, India’s unwavering adherence to democratic principles, poverty eradication, economic stability and food security.
Mazumdar presented 15 ambulances and three buses to recipient organisations.
The remaining five ambulances and one bus were gifted by the Consul General of India at Birgunj, Ashutosh Agrawal to organisations under consular jurisdiction of the Consulate General of India, Birgunj.
During the function, Mazumdar also presented books to 50 educational and training institutions located in different regions of Nepal, including some remote districts.
According to an Indian Embassy statement, since 1994, India has gifted 322 ambulances to various organisations in 70 districts across Nepal.
“This has helped bring health care services to the doorsteps of thousands of people who do not have access to health care services, especially in remote areas, by connecting them with the nearest district hospitals/health centres,” said the statement.
India has so far gifted 62 buses to various educational and welfare institutions across 24 districts in Nepal, giving easier access to schools for hundreds of students, as well as helping a number of welfare organisations in providing services to disadvantaged groups.
