Foreign Minister Narayan Prakash Saud has said that Nepal was fortunate to have neighbours like India who have contributed to the development of the Himalayan nation and its people.
Foreign Minister Mr. Saud said this while jointly inaugurating with India's Ambassador Naveen Srivastava a new building of the Himalaya Kiran Public Campus in eastern Nepal, built under the Indian grant assistance of NPR 37 million.
Established in 1949 as Himalaya Middle School, the Himalaya Kiran Public Campus was upgraded in 2005 to conduct Master’s Degree courses. It has enrolled over 600 students, of which 60% are girls.
