KATHMANDU, June 8 - The Kathmandu College of
Management (KCM) today held here a memorial service to mourn the sudden demise of Late
Prince Nirajan, who was also a final year student at the college.
KCM committee members, students and
well-wishers of the college attended the function, which was started by observing a
two-minute silence to pay tribute to the Late Prince and His Family. According to friends
of the Late Prince, Late Prince Nirajan had just finished his last internal
"Managerial Finance paper" at KCM and was happy that he would soon be a
graduate, that fateful day.
Speaking on the occasion, KCM committee board
member Shankar Sharma expressed deep shock over the unexpected demise of the Late Prince.
"We ask God to give us the strength to bear his loss," he said.
Suresh Raj Sharma, Vice Chancellor of
Kathmandu University said: "We are still yet to make terms with ourselves in
believing that this horrific tragedy has occurred and in finding the strength to bear this
huge loss although it is very difficult ".
Similarly, Vikrant Gurung, a close associate
of the Late Prince, talked about his internship program and project with the Late Prince
Nirajan on King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation. " It was on devising a plan
to save fresh water dolphins going extinct in the Karnali river to which the Late Prince
was very keen on conserving." he added.
Siddhartha Sharma, one of Prince
Nirajan’s best friends said in tears: "We are proud of him as to how he faced
life and would always remember him dearly."
"He always made it a point to make
one’s difficulties simple," he further said.
One of the college teachers, Yubaraj
Khatiwada described the Late Prince as a "well disciplined and attentive"
student. He also said that he was very optimistic that the Prince would have contributed
immensely to the betterment of the country.
According to Bishnu Raj Adhikari, principal
at KCM, the late Prince was keen in contributing to the tourism sector. "This was the
main reason why he (the Late Prince) had taken up business management as his line of
profession," he said,
KCM authorities said that the College Board will
now name the college as Prince Nirajan College, with the consent of the Palace. |
