The handover ceremony, held on Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at the Kathmandu Valley Police Office, marks a significant contribution to enhancing the nation’s disaster response capabilities.

A Timely Contribution for Monsoon Preparedness

With Nepal experiencing a period of climate instability and the monsoon season bringing a high likelihood of floods and inundation, the need for effective disaster management is paramount. Recognizing this, NMB Bank, a leading commercial bank in Nepal, provided a 16-foot self-bailing raft, life jackets, and a range of other essential rescue gear.

The equipment was officially handed over by Mr. Govinda Ghimire, Chief Executive Officer of NMB Bank, to Additional Inspector General of Nepal Police (AIG) Mr. Tek Bahadur Tamang. AIG Tamang, who was transferred to the Kathmandu Valley Police Office earlier this year, expressed gratitude for the timely support, emphasizing how it will directly benefit the police force’s operational capacity in tackling water-related emergencies.

NMB Bank’s Commitment to Community Welfare

This latest initiative is a testament to NMB Bank’s long-standing dedication to its CSR commitments. The bank has been a consistent contributor to various sectors vital for community development, including education, health, environment, and disaster management.

By providing essential tools for the Nepal Police, NMB Bank is not only helping to save lives but also reinforcing its role as a responsible corporate citizen deeply invested in the well-being of the Nepali community.

The bank’s extensive network of 202 branches, 187 ATMs, and 9 extended counters across the country allows it to stay connected with communities nationwide, understanding their needs and channeling its support where it is most impactful.
