Nepali Congress Kaski Launches Support Campaign for Underprivileged Mothers and Newborns

Pokhara. Nepali Congress Kaski Constituency No. 1 has announced a support campaign for mothers and newborns from impoverished and Dalit communities. A meeting held on Sunday decided to launch the Mother-Child Support Campaign. Newly elected chairman Saroj KC stated that the party must work above political interests with a spirit of humanitarian service and social responsibility. Under the campaign, relief and nutritional support will be provided to mothers under 31 years of age and their newborns from economically disadvantaged and Dalit communities, KC informed. The party has stated that support will be provided within 24 hours to targeted families who contact them within 11 days of the baby's birth. This includes a local male chicken for the mother's nutrition and 2 to 3 new clothes for the newborn according to the season. Furthermore, a procedure has been created to provide similar support to other extremely impoverished families based on their needs. KC stated that there is no specific party limitation for this support. "We will provide this support to everyone. This is not a declaration made only for Congress," he said. "We have created a procedure. We will provide support according to that procedure." The decision states that the necessary resources for operating the program will be gathered through voluntary contributions from the office bearers and members of the Nepali Congress Regional Committee, as well as from the support of interested well-wishers. He explained that the campaign was initiated with the objective of providing even small but practical relief to mothers and newborns from impoverished families during times of need.
