Students of the National Basic School in Pandavnagar, Madi Municipality-1, received warm clothing assistance on Sunday.
The school, which offers classes from early childhood development to grade 5, has 79 children. Most of them are from the indigenous Bote community living on the banks of rivers and streams.
The Navtan Dham Primary Committee under the Kathmandu District Committee of the Shree Krishna Pranami Youth Council has provided them with tracksuits, hats, socks, mufflers and bags.
According to committee chairman Rupesh Rijal, materials worth Rs 125,000 have been provided for all the students. Only 67 children from the Bote community study at the school. “This is the village with the largest population of the Bote community in Chitwan,” said Amit Kumar Lama, ward chairman of Madi Municipality-1, who was the chief guest of the program.
This settlement, located near Chitwan National Park, is surrounded by Riu and other small rivers. There is also a forest of Someshwor mountain behind the settlement. This settlement is at risk of flooding during the rainy season and wild animals at other times. Ward Chairman Lama said that the warm support provided to the children of the village, which is mostly inhabited by low-income people who do not even have land ownership documents in their names, will be a great relief.
Shri Krishna Pranami Youth Council has started distributing warm clothes in various parts of the country during the winter since 2075 BS, said central member and volunteer coordinator Rajkumar Gajurel. 'When the cold wave hit the Terai, we initially went to Bara district with 110 pieces of blankets. Since then, we have been distributing warm clothes every year during the winter,' said Gajurel.
He said that they have also started providing stationery and warm clothes to students and also helping with their education expenses. He said that they have provided assistance to various districts in the eastern and western parts of the Terai as well as the Himalayan district of Mugu. He said that the people associated with the council have been collecting relief materials from the money they donate voluntarily.
