Ncell Axiata Limited has teamed up with the Lalitpur Metropolitan City (Ncell 18th Anniversary Green Initiative) to embark on a mission that promotes environmental sustainability.
Together, they have initiated a tree-planting campaign along the Bagmati Corridor Road in Ward 1 of LMC, contributing to the greening of the Kathmandu Valley.
This eco-friendly initiative not only fosters a healthier environment for the community but also aligns with Ncell’s commitment to climate action and its support for the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Under the banner of ‘Here for You,’ Ncell reaffirms its dedication to Nepal and its people by engaging in projects that aim to create lasting positive impacts nationwide.

Jabbor Kayumov, CEO and MD of Ncell, emphasized the significance of planting trees, stating, “I am of the belief that there are 3 important things in our lives: i) build a house, ii) raise a child, and iii) plant a tree. I am personally privileged and honored to be a part of this great initiative for a cleaner, greener city.” He further underscored Ncell’s commitment to environmental responsibility, part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Net-Zero carbon commitments.
LMC Mayor Chiri Babu Maharjan expressed gratitude to Ncell for its ongoing collaboration on social responsibility initiatives and commended the tree-planting project as a positive contribution to the Bagmati Corridor. The LMC is committed to extending its support for such worthy causes.
