The event brought together students, teachers, parents, and distinguished personalities from Nepal’s education and media sectors.

 

Pakistan’s Ambassador to Nepal, H.E. Abrar H. Hashmi, attended the ceremony as the chief guest and personally awarded scholarships to deserving Higher Secondary School students from across the country. The recipients were selected by their respective schools based on merit and financial need.

Marking the 150th birth anniversary of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, the embassy also presented a laptop to Ms. Prapti Lamsal of the Institute of Forestry, Pokhara Campus, Tribhuvan University, in recognition of her outstanding performance among this year’s scholarship recipients.

 

Addressing the gathering, Ambassador Hashmi reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to supporting Nepal’s education sector.

 

“This is not just a scholarship ceremony; it is a celebration of Nepal’s future,” he said, encouraging students to develop expertise in STEM, health sciences, biosciences, innovation, diplomacy, financial literacy, and critical thinking, which he described as essential skills for future leaders.

 

Ambassador Hashmi noted that Pakistan’s educational assistance to Nepal covers multiple levels, including scholarships for primary and higher secondary students across the country, higher education opportunities in Pakistan, and institutional support to Nepali schools in information technology, sports, liberal arts, and STEM disciplines.

 

Launched in 2013, the Ambassador of Pakistan Scholarship Program has emerged as one of the most respected foreign scholarship initiatives in Nepal, supporting thousands of Nepali students in their pursuit of academic excellence over the years.
