Kathmandu: Huawei launched Seeds for the Future – its global flagship CSR program for undergraduate level students from all ICT-related disciplines in Nepal amidst a press meet held in Lalitpur on Wednesday.

According to a statement issued by the company, this year marks the first year that Huawei is introducing the program in Nepal. The program was first launched in 2008 in Thailand. Since then over 9,000 students from 130 countries and regions have participated in the program. This year, 20 students from Nepal selected from a competitive application process will get to participate in the international program.

The program will offer students an 8-day interactive online experience and first-hand insights into the ICT industry in Nepal. The program is open to undergraduate students from any ICT discipline with excellent academic background. Students can directly apply to the program at www.seedsnepal.com with their latest transcript or recommendation letter from their institutions and a 600-word motivation letter. The selection committee will then shortlist and choose the 20 finalists from a final interview.
