There are three cash prizes in each category.
Gyanveer Singh, second secretary in the development partnership wing of the Indian embassy, said ,“since the days of Indian Aid Mission in 1954, the government of India has extended technical and financial support in construction of airports, bridges, highways, irrigation facilities, hospitals, universities etc. fulfilling the needs and bridging the gaps in physical and social infrastructure of Nepal. We felt that a photography competition would be a unique way to highlight our support to Nepal.”
