He famously said, 'Never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense.

'Winston Churchill, the British Prime Minister and statesman, believed that leaders must have firm convictions and character and stand up for their beliefs, even in the face of adversity. Pande, the president of Nepal Britain Society, possesses the qualities that Churchill considered most essential in a leader to run an organization successfully.

Pratima Pande has worked tirelessly to make the Nepal Britain Society, which was established sixty years ago, active and effective in fostering relations between Nepal and the United Kingdom.

Heading an organization like Nepal Britain Society, which has wide variety of members representing various sectors of Nepal, for a quarter of a century on a consensus is a great task, and Pande, a well-known heritage conservationist, has made this impossible task possible because she possesses the qualities mentioned above by Churchill.

Nepal has been politically unstable for the last two and a half decades, changing from one political order to another. Despite the circumstances, Pande continues to lead the organization and firmly stands to protect the institution while pursuing its goals.
