Nepal Minute - out of the ordinary

Nepal

The November 20 twin elections may be months away, but top political leaders appear very mindful of that.

Ahead of elections, they appear bent on winning people’s hearts and minds.

One of them is CPN (Maoist Centre) Chairperson Prachanda, who is being criticised for attending a series of inauguration or foundation-laying programmes in his home district, Chitwan.

On Monday, Prachanda laid a foundation stone for the construction of well -equipped buildings at Nirmal Lama Polytechnic Institute.

The Institute that is under the CTEVT umbrella was established in 2018 at Khayarmara of Bardibas-11 in Mahottari district.

The government of South Korea provided financial assistance worth over Rs 1 billion to construct four buildings in the Institute for which Chairperson Dahal laid foundation stone today.

According to Institute Principal Raman Kumar Mehta, all four buildings would be state-of-the-art.

Seven various courses are running in the Institute that has students from 28 districts in the country studying at present.
