Kathmandu: On its 67th Republic day, India has donated 40 ambulances and eight buses to various hospitals, non-profit charitable organisations and educational institutions in Nepal to strengthen the education and health services in the Himalayan nation.
Among them, 33 ambulances and six buses were distributed at a function at the Indian embassy here while seven other ambulances and two buses were gifted by the Consulate General of India, Birgunj, to different organisations under its consular jurisdiction.
Since 1994, the Government of India has gifted 542 ambulances to various organisations across 73 districts in Nepal.
"This has helped in bringing healthcare services to the doorstep of thousands of people who do not have access to healthcare services," the Indian Embassy later said in a statement.
India has so far gifted 106 buses to various educational and welfare institutions across 25 districts in Nepal, making access to education easier for thousands of students.
