Bishweshwar Sushila Foundation (BSF), established on March 4th, 2009, is a non-profit and non-government organization that works to promote the education, health, and overall development of people living on the margins of society. It also does away with discrimination based on caste, disability, gender, and social status.
The Bishweshwar Sushila Foundation is based on the vision of Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala, who was the symbol of the Nepali renaissance, literature, intellectual discourse, and a host of multi-dimensional aspects pertaining to the culture and livelihood of Nepal. Sushila Koirala was a human text, an auxiliary historical power formation, for being the driving force behind the life of Bishweshor Prasad Koirala, the great leader of the Nepali Congress, and his greatest supporter and source of inspiration throughout his life.
Bishweshwar Prasad Koirala was a Nepali politician and a prolific writer. He was the Prime Minister of Nepal from 1959 to 1960. He led the Nepali Congress, a social democratic political party.
Koirala was the first democratically elected and 22nd Prime Minister of Nepal. He held the office for 18 months before being deposed and imprisoned at the instruction of King Mahendra. The rest of his life was spent largely in prison or exile and in steadily deteriorating health.
Better known in Nepal as “B. P.,” the leader of the Nepali Congress Party that ousted the Ranas Koirala became Nepal’s first elected prime minister in 1959. Before this, however, he had already become quite well known for his writing, which he began while studying law in Darjeeling during the 1930s.
Sushila Koirala was born in 1923 in Kapilvastu Municipality, Lumbini Province, Kingdom of Nepal. In 1936, she married B. P. Koirala, after the marriage she went to a school in Biratnagar, and later she studied at the Banaras Hindu University in Banaras.Koirala had also learned Bharatnatyam and Kathak – major forms of Indian classical dance. B. P. Koirala during his prison sentence in Hazaribagh placed a bet with his inmates, claiming that Sushila was the “most beautiful lady in the world”. Later in his autobiography, Atmabrittanta, he described her as “young and slim” and added that she survived kala-azar.
In 2007, she was honoured with the Gangadevi Chaudhari Memorial Honour for “her contribution in women empowerment and awareness”.
Education
As we know the BP koirala, who was on the journey of a difficult life. Bishweshwor did not get much of a study environment. While living on Banaras, BP wanted to study but Krishna Prasad Koirala could not afford that. BP was a brave person but in the current scenario of Nepal most of the children drop out of education at an early age and have to work in order to make money for their families. In comparison to the entire population, the Nepal adult literacy rate is 24.6% below the global average. In addition, almost half of the population has not completed an education above lower school.
Health
As we know, the Koirala had a difficult life journey. He had throat cancer and died of throat cancer in 1982. Bp koirala always says that “गाउँलेलाई बेवास्ता गर्ने कुनै पनि विकास, विकास होइन ।” . He always says health is the primary basic need of Nepal. But in the case of Nepal in the health sector most of Nepal's health care facilities are concentrated in urban areas. Rural health facilities often lack adequate funding. From this Foundation, we want to provide rural health, medicine service, and health camps in rural areas.
Agriculture
Nepal is an agricultural country having 66 percent people directly engaged in farming. Farming is subsistent in nature and crop is mostly integrated with livestock. Nepal is richly endowed with agro-biodiversity. In the Second Five Year Plan (1961-65) proposed by BP's government, industrialization received a top priority. The industrial sectors including transportation, roads, and electricity received one hundred and thirty-five million budget of the total, whereas agriculture received seventeen million rupees. The plan envisaged industrial zones in Kathmandu and Hetauda. Policies were formulated to set up agro-based and cottage industries in different parts of the country.
