We are committed to working with CAN, all regional teams, and other stakeholders to ensure the successful attainment of 2612 educational kits distribution,” she added.
653 boundaries, 2612 educational kits from Ncell
Ncell says that the 2612 educational kits for students come from 653 boundaries in the NPL season 1 which ended on Saturday (December 21). Earlier, the company had pledged 4 educational kits for every 4 scored in the T20 tournament.
The entire NPL competition registered a total of 653 boundaries from various players from 8 different teams. Lahiru Malintha from Janakpur Bolts (the winning team) scored 35 boundaries contributing to 140 educational materials.
At second stood Andries Gous from Pokhara Avengers who scored 30 4s and contributed to 120 educational kits. Likewise, Rohit Kumar Poudel from Lumbini Lions helped with 104 kits via his 26 boundaries. Chitwan Rhinos’ Ravinder Bopara and Sudurpaschim Royals’ Saif Zaib contributed with 96 kits through 24 boundaries during the mega-successful T20 competition.
Ncell says that its initiative to distribute educational kits will help bring positive change in students’ educational lives. Especially, the telco is providing these materials to students in rural and remote areas in community schools. The kits consist of school bags, notebooks, pencils, sharpeners, erasers, and other such relevant materials. The private telco expects that these resources reduce their shortage of them and contribute to the student’s learning.
