A health post is under construction in Badigad Rural Municipality-7 of Baglung district in Gandaki Province, Nepal, supported financially by the government of India.
Gandaki Thapa Adhikari, Chairperson of Badigad Rural Municipality, and Ajay Kumar Singh, Second Secretary at the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu, laid the foundation stone for the Bhimgithe Health Post’s development. The Indian Embassy stated that around NPR 25 million will be utilized for this project, classified as a High Impact Community Development Project (HICDP).
Local representatives and stakeholders have expressed gratitude for India’s continuous developmental aid, anticipating a significant enhancement in healthcare service accessibility with the establishment of this facility. India and Nepal, as close neighbors, maintain a broad cooperation spectrum across various sectors, with a focus on bolstering infrastructure in critical areas.
The HICDPs program, a cornerstone of the India-Nepal development partnership, channels funds for grassroots development in Nepal. Originally known as Small Development Projects and initiated in 2003, these projects support small-scale infrastructure and community initiatives in Nepal, aligning with the country’s priority sectors such as health, education, water resources, and rural electrification.
