EDUCAST, A newly constructed school building at Shankar Bhawan Secondary School in Bhairi Municipality-2, Jajarkot, was officially inaugurated and handed over today with the support of the Non-Resident Nepali Association (NRNA) Australia. The construction of this building was made possible through a contribution of 25,000 Australian Dollars collected from Nepalis residing in Australia.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by NRNA Australia President, Anil Pokhrel, who expressed his happiness in being able to support the school building project. He stated that such initiatives would continue in the future. “Nepali communities in Australia had also contributed during the earthquake by providing relief, and later, fundraising for the school building construction was carried out,” he added.

The new building was constructed to replace the damaged structure from the 2079 earthquake in Jajarkot, with financial support from NRNA Australia and technical facilitation from Yarsan Jajarkot. The construction began eight months ago, and the school has already started its educational sessions in the newly built facility.

President Pokhrel acknowledged the efforts of various organizations and individuals from Australia who contributed to the project, ensuring that such support will continue.

Suryaprakash Singh, Chairman of the School Management Committee, thanked NRNA Australia for their financial contribution towards the construction of the new school building. Also present at the ceremony were NRNA Australia Vice President Shambhu Gaisi, Regional Coordinator of NRNA Oceania Dinesh Pokhrel, local students, and community members.
