Kathmandu, October 20: Ambassador of Japan to Nepal, KIKUTA Yutaka signed a grant contract with President of NPO Nepal Volunteer Social Service, Lakpa Nurbu Sherpa, for building new classrooms at Shree Himalaya Secondary School in Sankhuwasabha District amid a ceremony held at the Embassy of Japan in Kathmandu on Thursday.

According to a press statement issued by the Embassy of Japan, the project is funded under the Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) of the Japanese Government and involves a grant of USD 185,971 (approximately Rs 23.2 million). It is aimed at enhancing the educational environment by constructing 11 classrooms. This project will help the students who previously had to study in deteriorated school buildings.

Shree Himalaya Secondary School was established in 1960, and nowadays more than 380 students study at this school. The current school buildings are unsafe as there are cracks in the walls and leaks in the roofs. These dangerous and worn-out classrooms make it difficult for the students to focus on their studies. The project will be managed by NPO Nepal Volunteer Social Service.

The Embassy of Japan believes the project will provide a safe and pleasant learning environment for students and will improve the students’ quality of education. According to the Embassy, the assistance to the educational institute will further enhance the friendship between the people of Japan and Nepal now and for the future generations as well.
