Japan hands over new classroom building to Dailekh school
The Embassy of Japan in Nepal handed over a new classroom building to Shree Malika Secondary School in Thantikandh Rural Municipality, Dailekh District on Thursday.
This furniture-filled building has been constructed with a grant of approximately Rs 10.45 million under the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) of the Government of Japan, according to the press release of the Embassy of Japan in Nepal.
The project to establish new towns in different places of Karnali is not gaining momentum even after a decade. The work of building infrastructures essential for a city is too sluggish. Although budget is allocated every year, the project has not made satisfactory progress due to poor execution. In order to check the migration from hills to the Tarai, the government brought the project to build a new town in Rakam of Dailekh district. The government had carried on the project to build the new town with all the important infrastructures through planned urbanisation. Due to budget crunch and dispute over land, the targeted work could not be accomplished.
Three school buildings, namely Shree Malika Higher Secondary School in Lalikanda, Shree Bhairav Secondary School in Badabhairav, and Shree Jagadish Secondary School in Badakhola and a building of Shree Narayan Campus, Rampur, built with the Government of India’s financial assistance of NRs108.60 million in Dailekh under Nepal-India Development Cooperation were formally handed over to the concerned local authorities of the Government of Nepal today.
