On the same occasion, SAF-Nepal Chairperson Dr. Rita Thapa interacted with the newly selected 40 SAF-Madanjeet Singh ANM students who had just arrived from their villages to Jiri for a 18 month course. The students used the opportunity to heartily thank the SAF Founder for having provided scholarships for them to get trained in an area which is of primary importance to the health of mothers and newly born children of the rural areas where hospital and modern health care is still a luxury. They looked forward to meet in person Ambassador Madanjeet Singh one day. Dr. Rita Thapa outlined that this course would help them in their career ladder and would make them stand in their own feet upon completion of the course. Secretary of SAF-Nepal Nishchal N. Pandey was present on the occasion.
