March 24, Parbat. The construction of a basic school building in Wihadi Rural Municipality has been left unfinished for the last three years.
The eight-room permanent building of Rambadevi Mata Basic School, located in Limsing, Wahaki ward no. 4 of Wihadi Rural Municipality, remains incomplete due to financial constraints.
The Ministry of Education had allocated a budget of NPR 3.6 million under the Presidential Educational Reform Program to start the building construction. However, the work has been suspended due to the inability to secure additional funds.
The unfinished building has put students in a difficult situation. Currently, the school offers education up to grade four with 19 students enrolled, according to Principal Shivani Pun.
According to Principal Pun, the students are compelled to study in a room with a tin sheet roof and floor, which is far from ideal.
She added that the tin-covered classroom raises safety concerns for both parents and teachers, especially during storms and strong winds, as the sheets risk being blown away.
