NRNA Establishes NPR 10 Million Fund for Nepalis in West Asia

Kathmandu. The Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) has established a fund of 10 million Nepali Rupees for the relief of Nepali citizens residing in West Asia.

NRNA President Dr. Hemraj Sharma informed that the new executive committee, formed during the 12th General Assembly of the association, decided in its meeting on Wednesday to immediately establish and implement the fund.

The meeting decided to collect a minimum of 10 million Nepali Rupees from the association's office bearers and members, and to spend it through a special task force for the support of Nepalis in West Asia.

Currently, the association has about 130,000 members, and a plan is also being made to collect at least 1 dollar from each member. The goal is to increase this fund up to 60 million Nepali Rupees throughout the tenure.

Furthermore, NRNA office bearers have committed not to be affiliated with any political party or sister organization.

It has been stated that a commitment letter was signed, pledging not to engage in political commentary, slander, or character assassination of individuals through social media. Office bearers affiliated with political parties are also preparing to resign.

The meeting also made other administrative decisions, including secretariat management. The meeting of the newly formed executive committee is scheduled to continue until Friday.
