KATHMANDU: MeroAuto.com (Automotives Pvt. Ltd.) has donated educational materials to a school in Nuwakot and rescue equipment to a district police office as part of its corporate social responsibility initiative.
The handover took place on Friday during the MeroAuto Motor Rally 2026. The recipients were Shree Ganeshmaan Singh Smriti Basic School in Tarkeshwar-2, Nuwakot, and the District Police Office in Tanahun.
The school received computers, a printer, school bags, notebooks, pens, and other educational supplies. MeroAuto’s Editor-in-Chief Sagar Gajurel and Sagarmatha Lumbini Insurance CEO Chunky Chhetry led the team that handed over the materials to Ward Chair Shiva Paneru.
The police office received two stretchers. Former NADA Chairman Krishna Prasad Dulal and Editor-in-Chief Gajurel handed them over to Police Inspector Shiva Prasad Pathak.
MeroAuto Managing Director Hari Gajurel said the donations were a natural part of what the company does every year. “We organize a motor rally on our anniversary every year. It promotes domestic tourism, drive tourism culture, and business networking,” he said. “Alongside that, we always carry out social work too. This time we gave educational materials to a school in Nuwakot and rescue equipment to the police office. We will continue this in the years ahead.”
