India Strengthens Nepal Ties with New School Infrastructure

The foundation stone for Shree Tribhuvan Secondary School in Sunsari, Nepal, was laid by key Indian and Nepali officials. The project, costing NRs. 24.83 million and funded by the Indian government, is part of a broader partnership to develop education infrastructure in Nepal through the High Impact Community Development Project initiative.

In a significant development, the foundation stone for a new school building at Shree Tribhuvan Secondary School in Inaruwa Municipality, Sunsari, Nepal, was laid. The ceremony was attended by Gyanendra Bahadur Karki, Member of Parliament, Prasanna Shrivastava, Deputy Chief of Mission at the Indian Embassy in Kathmandu, and Kedar Bhandari, Mayor of Inaruwa Municipality.

Funded by the Government of India as part of the 'Nepal-India Development Cooperation', the project is valued at NRs. 24.83 million. It includes the construction of a double-storied building and allied facilities under the High Impact Community Development Project (HICDP) initiative, spearheaded by Inaruwa Municipality.

The school, established in 1958, caters to 750 students, with 55% being girls. This project is among 563 HICDPs undertaken by India in Nepal since 2003, illustrating a robust development partnership. The Indian government has also donated ambulances and school buses across Nepal, with significant contributions to Koshi Province.
