Minister Sita Badi Reflects on Past Volunteer Work at Pashupati Old Age Home

Kathmandu. Minister for Women, Children and Senior Citizens, Sita Badi, has stated that she views her current responsibilities as an opportunity for service and dedication, recalling the days she spent as a volunteer at the Pashupati Old Age Home. Through social media, she shared that about 9 years ago, while studying Bachelor of Social Work at Pushpalal Memorial College, Chabahil, she had the opportunity to serve mothers at the Social Welfare Center, Pashupati Old Age Home, for three months as part of her field work.

'The stories of their lives, pain, struggle, and selfless love have left an indelible mark on the depths of my heart even today,' Minister Badi said, 'That experience taught me the true meaning of humanity—service is not just a duty, but also a satisfaction of the soul.'

She mentioned that having the opportunity to visit the old age home in her capacity as a Minister to observe and understand the situation brought back vivid memories of those days. She expressed that she feels the small service she performed back then has now transformed into a greater responsibility. 'That experience always reminds me—a position is not great, service is,' she added.

Minister Badi noted that she has taken this responsibility not as a position, but as an opportunity for service and dedication. She has expressed a firm commitment to work with even more dedication, especially for mothers, sisters, children, and the helpless sections of society.

'I promise—just like yesterday, I will continue to move forward with service, compassion, and honesty today as well. I will dedicate all my efforts to bringing positive changes in the lives of every citizen,' she said.

Expressing serious concern regarding the improvement of the management of the old age home, she has committed to taking necessary initiatives to make it more organized, safe, and dignified.
