The earthquake of 7.8 magnitude on 25th April 2015, followed by a slew of after shocks and eventually followed by yet another quake of magnitude 7.3 on 12th May 2015 in Nepal have thrown the country off balance. Both quakes struck at a depth of 15 km. Destruction to life and property has been tremendous with over 8000 dead and over 5.6 million affected in 39 districts while 2.8 million internally displaced.
Going by the reports up to 90 per cent of the health facilities in Ramechapp, Nuwakot, Sindhupalchowk and Gorkha have been severely damaged. As per the 19th May report released by the Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP) a total of 1100 health facilities have been either fully or partially damaged.(Source: WHO Situation Report#17, 19 development. th May 2015)
The India- Nepal relations have been very cordial and the Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modiji has instructed the government of India and requested the people of India to reach out to Nepal in these troubled times in every possible manner. BJS looks upon this as an opportunity to further strengthen the ties between both countries.
With its presence across length and breadth of the country, BJS today is truly a National Organization having its head-quarters at Pune.
