Pyakurel informed the audience about the various social works carried out by the club since its establishment and presented a work-plan with different social works and events to be carried out in the upcoming future.
The club has been supporting multiple individuals, and organisations that especially support children, women and senior citizens — who do not have access to basic needs such as health, drinking water and education.
On this occasion, Pyakurel presented Tej Bahadur Tamang, principal of Sankheshwor Mahalaxmi School of Kavrepalanchowk with Rs 10,000 in cash and a token of appreciation for his important contribution in the education sector.
The club conducted health camps and provided relief to the victims affected by the destructive earthquake of 2015 in Makawanpur, Sindhupalchowk, Ramechhap, and Dolakha districts.
It also provided people with counselling about what to do during times of disaster.
Likewise, the club has been conducting programmes in various locations to collect funds and provide economic support to people who do not have access to education, health and other basic necessities due to their financial and social backgrounds.
A few days back, the club had also organised vocational skill training programmes in Bhimphedi and other villages around Hetauda.
It has been stated that an environment, in which the participants of the vocational skill training programmes are able to earn a living through their acquired skills in their own villages, has been created.
