The Annapurna Media Network’s weekly children newspaper Ankur celebrated its first anniversary this week. AMN Chairman Rameshwor Thapa, CEO Manash Ghimire, Annapurna Post Editor-in-Chief Hari Bahadur Thapa and Ankur Editor Ramkala Khadka jointly marked the event by cutting a ceremonial cake. “Ankur has played a crucial role in increasing children’s intellectual capabilities,” Chairman Thapa said in the congratulatory speech. Ankura has made great progress even in a short time-span, Hari Bahadur Thapa added. “It has become really popular among school students and also got them reading,” he said.
Ramkhala Khadka said she was proud of how even the small Ankur team was able to successfully pitch the newspaper to school students from in and outside Kathmandu.
The Annapurna Express Editor Biswas Baral, Editor-duo of Annapurna Post Akhanda Bhandari and Bikash Thapa, Editor of Annapurna Online Bishnu Subedi and Editor of Annapurna Sampurna Rajan Nepal were also present at the celebration.
