Helping Hand

The Indian Embassy this week gifted 35 ambulances and 66 school buses to various hospitals and schools across Nepal. Two ambulances were given to the November 2023 earthquake-hit districts of Jajarkot and West Rukum. The Embassy has donated a total of 1,009 ambulances and 300 school buses to Nepal since 1994. However, a new government rule about ambulances having to be four-wheel drives has complicated the registration of some of them.
