A government secretary on Saturday announced that the government would provide all the assistance the boy hero, Kamal Nepali, needs.
"To respect his bravery, the government is ready to provide overall assistance that he needs," said Secretary at Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare, Puspa Pradhan at a felicitation program in the capital.
While he was asked what he wants to be in the future, Kamal said, "I want to read, write and become a doctor," said the 11-year old who became the national hero in short after rescuing a two-and-half-year girl who had fallen into a 60-feet Seti river gorge with a very narrow crack in Pokhara a few days ago.
Answering a query what he wants to do in the days to come, Kamal said, "I also want to rescue anybody if they fall again."
At the mean time, Kamal has been flooded with offers of money and free education. And he has had tough time making to attain all felicitation programs.
His father said he finds no time to sleep, eat or enjoy attending the programs and giving interviews to the media. "He attends no fewer than five such programs in a day." This has been the routine for the last two days, he said.
