Nabil SSE provides certificates to 25 aspiring entrepreneurs
Nabil Bank has provided certificates to 25 young aspiring entrepreneurs participated in Nabil School of Social Entrepreneurship (Nabil SSE) Certification Course from Bagmati Province on December 11, 2022. Nirvana Chaudhary, Vice Chairman of Nabil Bank, handed over certificates to participants in ‘Reflection and Celebrations Certificate Distribution Program’ held at Campion College.
In his keynote speech, Chaudhary said that thousands of youths are leaving the country not willingly but in search of better opportunities. He thanked and congratulated all Nabil SSE participants to take a bold step and be part of social entrepreneurship to make difference in the society.
Stating that entrepreneurs are not born but made, Chaudhary said, “I hear youths discussing various ideas and business plans. However, due to lack of proper mentorship and direction, their ideas could not turn into reality. The initiation that Nabil took a year ago is now making difference to the life of young people providing the direction and platform.”
Nabil Bank, under its CSR initiative has introduced Nabil School of Social Entrepreneurship Program since November 2021 in collaboration with academic institutions at all 7 provinces of Nepal. According to the bank, a 14-day long training spread over 3-month period on Social Entrepreneurship provided training on four themes — knowledge enhancement, skill-set, mind-set and resources — in a practical approach. The course provided the participants with an opportunity to learn from the entrepreneur’s experience, experts in the field, field visits, case studies and workshops.
Bhupendra Pandey, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Nabil Bank said that Nabil is always ready to support start-ups, small and medium enterprises in terms of providing education, enhancing financial literacy and supporting financially. Principal of Campion College, Anamika Shrivastava expressed her gratitude to Nabil Bank and congratulated the participants for being a part of this great initiative and appreciated the change Nabil SSE Program has brought in the participants.
Mahesh Sharma, one of the students, thanked Nabil SSE for providing a learning platform and direction to his idea. He along with his other two like-minded friends initiated ‘Art Sewa’ business venture that works towards promoting local Mithila art by engaging local women to produce various products. He said that the program inspired him to do something of his own and contribute to the society through entrepreneurship.
Nabil SSE Certificate Course is implemented in the partnering colleges at all provinces throughout the year, where participants can register for their participation. Altogether 25 to 30 participants can enroll in a batch. Campion College is calling applications for the second batch of Certificate Course.
