Ncell Foundation has started distributing educational kits as part of its ‘4 for 4s’ promise in the Nepal Premiere League (NPL) T20 tournament. Under this program, Ncell has provided 446 educational kits to students from three schools in Lumbini Province on Tuesday, March 18, 2025.
In November, 2024, Ncell announced that it would give away four educational kits to students for every boundary in the inaugural NPL competition. Ncell uses this campaign to promote community service and connect it with the excitement of cricket. According to the company, it will provide educational materials to students from government and community schools. It says that the initiative aims at making a meaningful impact on younger learners.
This effort from Ncell aligns with its commitment to promote sports in Nepal. The private telco regularly collaborates with sport teams, players, organizers to promote various games and sports in Nepal. The company promotes Nepali athletes and sports as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR).
As part of this initiative, Ncell’s CEO and MD Jabbor Kayumov, Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN) Secretary Paras Khadka, Chairman of Lumbini Lions Ishwar GC, Ncell’s Interim Director for Marketing, Communications, and Sustainability Bishakha Lakshmi Khadka, along with other Ncell officials, distributed educational kits to 260 primary level students from two schools in Kapilvastu—Shree Rastriya Madhyamik Bidhyalaya and Madarsa Bahrul Uloom of Kapilvastu Municipality, Ward 10.
Similarly, Ncell’s Chief of Staff Stephen Rodriguez along with other Ncell officials handed over 186 educational kits to students from Shree Balakshanti Bidhyalaya of Rapti Sonari Rural Municipality, Ward-4, Banke.
