25th January 2026, Kathmandu
Nepal SBI Bank Limited (NSBL) has extended significant financial and material assistance to the Samaj Kalyan Kendra Briddhashram in Pashupati, Kathmandu, as part of its ongoing corporate social responsibility (CSR) program. This initiative was specifically designed to address the immediate winter needs of the senior citizens residing at the state-run old age home, ensuring they have the necessary resources to maintain comfort and health during the colder months.

As part of this compassionate outreach, the bank provided a comprehensive range of essential items to 64 elderly residents. These materials included high-quality blankets, bed sheets, warm clothes, and specialized winter gear such as warm slippers. Recognizing the need for functional utility, the bank also donated cloth dryers and electric kettles to the facility, which will assist the staff and residents in daily hygiene and the preparation of warm beverages.
Handover Ceremony and Institutional Commitment
The support materials were formally handed over by Ram Kumar Tiwari, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Nepal SBI Bank, to Shashi Paudel, the Head of Samaj Kalyan Kendra Briddhashram. The ceremony, held within the spiritual and historic premises of the Pashupatinath temple area, served as a platform for bank leadership to reaffirm their commitment to social welfare.
Speaking at the event, CEO Tiwari emphasized that the bank views its role not just as a financial intermediary but as a responsible corporate citizen. He noted that the well-being of the elderly is a core pillar of the bank’s long-term CSR strategy. By targeting the Pashupati Briddhashram—Nepal’s oldest and only government-sponsored home for the elderly—the bank aims to support a population that often lacks family care and personal property.
The handover was attended by a high-level delegation from both the bank and the Pashupati Area Development Trust (PADT), including:
Prakash Mani Sharma Bhushal: Member Secretary of Pashupati Development Trust.
Shridhar Sapkota: Treasurer of the Trust.
Bikas Anand: Deputy CEO and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Nepal SBI Bank.
