First Secretary at Indian Embassy in Nepal, Sahil Kumar, on Sunday, handed over 950 white canes to Disabled Care Nepal, a non-government organization.
Kumar, who is also the secretary of BP Koirala Foundation (BPKF), handed over the canes to the president of Disabled Care Nepal for further distribution all across Nepal for the aid of the visually impaired.

The BPKF was established in 1991 as a joint initiative of the Governments of India and Nepal.
The Foundation aims at promoting linkages between India and Nepal by fostering art, literature, intellectual discourse, and a host of multi-dimensional aspects pertaining to the culture and livelihood of both nations.
