Among the other activities the most important part for us is the announcement that was held during the Assembly that NRCS Balkot Sub-Chapter has been the most active regarding it's activities through out the year. Among 19 other sub-chapter, Balkot this time has been most active in it's activities as well as fund raising for it's new building. Last year we cannot forget that we had annouced to construct the multi purpose, earthquake resistant building whose cost was estimated as NRs12 million and this year we started construction whose frame is almost completed by this time. So, recognising this emmence effort of Balkot, Bhaktapur Chapter has annouced it as the best sub-chapter of the year. NRCS was awarded a shield for this at the moment. NRCS Balkot sub-chapter chairperson Mr. Lava Kumar Karki, while receiving the shield shared the glory with all the volunteers of Balkot Sub-Chapter and announced that they would celebrate the moment along with the upcoming Holi festival with all the volunteers in the newly constructing building and invited rest volunteers from Bhaktapur Chapter to it (More news to follow). We cannot also forget in this moment that  we have been awarded as the the sub-chapter with many times of Blood Donation through out the year among the sub-chapters of Bhaktapur Chapter this Nepal Red Cross Day.
