Speaking in the program, Prof. Kanhaiya Jha, the Director of SWD, informed how the University has been working to serve earthquake affected people in adjacent districts. "This does not mean," he emphasized, "we are not concerned about KU family." The University has formed Relief Material Distribution Committee comprising Dr. Dhurva Gauchan, associate director of SWD, Ms. Jyoti Pradhan, manager human resources, and Mr. Mahendra Niraula, officer, physical facilities. And, as per our plan, we are giving out relief materials to 121 staffs of attended level, he added. He acknowledged Malteser International for providing 100 tents, 50 food baskets, and 50 hygiene kits; Shree Ram Krishna Mission, India for supplying 26 tents, 49 cotton sarees, 25 kitchen utensil sets, and some blankets. He also thanked USAN for their support.

Mr. Mukunda Prasad Upadhaya,Chief of Management Service Division, expressed happiness for the fact that there is no human casualty to KU family. "We are lucky in this sense," he said and added, "Our responsibility is to work for the affected Nepali brethren. It would not be ethical to expect for relief materials if we really do not need." He also expressed hope that KU would restore to normal schedule soon.
