Kathmandu. Kamana Sewa Bikas Bank, as a part of its corporate social responsibility, handed over dustbins to Shree Pashupati Secondary School, located at Sainamaina Municipality-10, Rupandehi through its branch office Saljhandi.

Hemanta Babu Acharya, Butwal Area Chief of the Bank, handed over 12 dustbins to Hari Prasad Thapa, Principal of Shree Pashupati Secondary School.

“Waste management is very important for building a clean school, healthy students and a clean society and the dustbins distributed in the school will play an important role in developing the culture of cleanliness among the students, increasing environmental awareness and keeping the school premises clean,” said Principal Thapa.

Acharya expressed the belief that the dustbin distribution program would make the school sanitation management more effective as there is a shortage of such basic sanitation materials in the schools where students from economically weak, poor and disadvantaged communities are studying.

Principal Thapa expressed his gratitude to the bank for this humanitarian initiative and thanked the bank for having the opportunity to study in a clean and systematic environment and has a positive impact on the learning achievement, discipline and self-confidence of the students. The program was attended by the bank’s staff, the bank’s principals, teachers and students of Shree Pashupati Secondary School.

The bank has stated that it will continue such programs in the coming days in coordination and collaboration with the stakeholders.
