Similarly, 22 orphans at Shree Aananda Higher Secondary School in Jalbire, Sindhupalchowk and eight orphans at Dhulikhel, Kavre were provided with scholarships, said Mohan Niroula, scholarship program coordinator of the Federation.
Speaking at one of the functions, SMC Federation's Central Chairman Krishna Thapa said, "We don't want this campaign to end here. So, together with the Punya Foundation, we have made a 10-year plan to continue providing special scholarships to orphans studying up to secondary level."
