Livelihood in NNI

With great physical and mental strength earnestly taken by His Holiness since the establishment of the NNI, the growing number of students continually increased, which is beyond the thought. Additionally, everything granted here is free of cost: the accommodation, cloths, foods, and so on.

During the Yarney and special occasions meals are elaborately served, and on top of that, monthly stipends of Rs.50 and annually monk's robs are provided freely. Likewise, if any student get sick or expire, they are treated or taken care by the Institute.
