According to the bank, 25 people have been selected in the first group for the course through open application.
Inaugurating the course, Chief Minister Singh praised the efforts launched by the bank with the aim of increasing social entrepreneurship.

On the occasion, Dilaram Subedi, Director of Nepal Rastra Bank, said that the social entrepreneurship program launched by Nabil Bank under its corporate social responsibility was commendable.

Surendra Bhandari, President of Janakpurdham Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that they are ready to support the program organized by the bank. Sonukumar Sah, Managing Director of Monastic Higher Secondary English Boarding School, said that such a program would give hope to the youth that they can do something in the country at a time when skilled manpower is migrating abroad from Nepal. He also expressed that the collaboration between Nabil Bank and Monastic School for this program is very commendable.
