Kathmandu, September 1: Nepal Life Insurance Company Limited, in collaboration with Round Table Nepal, has collected 5,000 kilograms of waste dumped on Mount Everest under the Project Care Campaign. In a special ceremony held at the central office of Nepal Life Insurance, Chairman of Round Table Nepal Pravesh Agrawal handed over the waste collection report to the company’s Chief Executive Officer Pravin Raman Parajuli. Amit Kumar Kayal, the new CEO of the company, Nitesh Kumar Agarwal, the outgoing president of Round Table Nepal, office bearers of Round Table Nepal, representatives of Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee, which is a technical partner of Project CARE, and representatives of Khalisi, an organization contributing to waste management, recycling, and environmental protection, were present at the event.
Nepal Life has collaborated with Round Table Nepal and technical partner Sagarmatha Pollution Control Committee (SPCC) to carry out the Sagarmatha clean-up campaign under its institutional social responsibility.

Chief Executive Officer Parajuli said that Sagarmatha is not only the jewel of Nepal but also of the world and it needs to be protected.
Pravesh Agarwal, Chairman of Round Table Nepal, said that 5,000 kg of waste has been collected from the Sagarmatha area this time and plans have been made to manage 25,000 kg of waste in the coming days. He also mentioned that Round Table Nepal has been working in the field of education, health and environment and expressed his commitment to continue this campaign.
Since Sagarmatha is a world attraction, the number of climbers is increasing rapidly. He expressed confidence that the campaign has brought a big change as the government of Nepal and the international community have continued the clean-up efforts but have not been effective. During this time it was told that the rotting waste was filled below the base camp and the non-rotting waste was brought to Kathmandu by making a bag of 30 kg. He said that there is a plan to recycle the waste brought to Kathmandu in collaboration with the Khali CC. Saying that small efforts make a big impact, Agarwal thanked Nepal Life for participating in the campaign.
Sagarmatha, the highest mountain in the world, attracts thousands of climbers every year, but with the increase in human activity, Sagarmatha is becoming a garbage dump. Nepal Life Insurance Company Limited, in collaboration with Round Table Nepal, has supported the Project CARE campaign with the intention that abandoned tents, oxygen cylinders, food packaging, human waste and mountaineering equipment left in the mountains will not become the “world’s highest garbage dump.”
