Food aid to be provided to 3,000 jobless Nepali students in Texas, US

Texas (USA), Feb 13: Food aid will be provided to jobless Nepali students studying at various universities in Texas, USA.

Nepali social activists in the Dallas-Fort Worth area have launched a campaign, Community Programme for Students, to collect and distribute food aid to around 3,000 Nepali students.

General Secretary of the Nepali Society Texas, Bijay Bhusal, stated that students will receive rice, lentils, oil, salt, and gram, enough for at least a month. Over 700 students have already received assistance.

Students with vehicles can collect food from the Nepali Cultural and Spiritual Center, while deliveries will be arranged for those without transportation.

U.S. immigration policies have affected many Nepali students. Police raids targeting illegal workers have led to warnings, arrests, and deportations of those without work permits.

According to the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) USA, around 50,000 Nepali students are currently studying in U.S. universities.
