The Embassy of India, Kathmandu, and the Government of Nepal's Ministry of Federal Affairs and General Administration have signed four new Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) to initiate High Impact Community Development Projects (HICDPs) in Nepal.
The project, which will be funded through a grant provided by India, will also see the establishment of three school buildings. School Building of Shree Galainath Secondary School, Shailashikhar Municipality; School Building of Shree Himalaya Secondary School, Byas Rural Municipality in Darchula District; School Building of Diding Primary School, Chichila Rural Municipality in Sankhuwasabha District will be built as per the MoU.
