The students of Goganpani Basic School located in Andhikhola Rural Municipality-5 of Syangja are now invited to make plastic cups, chuchos and mudha. Local senior citizens taught the students traditional skills.
Local Joumaya Poudel says, "What is kucho for today's children?" What is a disc? How to make? I don't know. They don't even know what it is made of. Therefore, it is necessary to practice the old skills from school. She said that such programs should be held in every school (weekly or monthly) to transfer skills.
In the project of Social Development Office Syangja, students and local youth were taught how to make a disc out of corn cobs and plastic, and how to make mudha out of bamboo. Students have also learned to make chutki from noodles and biscuit shells. Jeevan Sharma, head of Social Development Office Syangja, said that this will also help in reducing environmental pollution.
'It is necessary to teach traditional skills to the students along with the youth,' he said, 'Now we have been conducting such programs from the office because education should be made not only practical but also practical. Senior citizens have different knowledge, skills and experience. Their skills should be passed on from generation to generation. He said that it is an important start to make plastic that is used daily from useless plastic to prevent environmental pollution. The principal of
school, Khyamnarayan Lamichhane, said that when the new program was conducted for the first time, the locals, youth and students were all excited and said that such experimental programs will be continued in the future.
Andhikhola-5 Ward President Krishna Paneru said that such programs will help to respect senior citizens and make children moral and disciplined. "Students become capable in every field through the program that is practiced in the field," he said, "It is enough to help them achieve practical education."
