31 Dec, Bardiya – Tharu Journalists’ Association, Bardia has set up a revolving fund worth Rs 50,000 driven with an objective to motivate Tharu journalists contributing to the societal development of the Tharu community through journalism.
Association’s Secretary Bhagiram Chaudhary said that the revolving fund was set up for capacity building of the Tharu journalists in the district with the dominance of the Tharus.

He urged the well wishers and humanitarian organizations to contribute to the cause, stating that it would help in capacity building of the Tharu journalists.
