By Our Correspondent,Gulmi, Mar. 7: Resunga Secondary School in Tamghas, Gulmi, has initiated training sessions for students willing to learn to play Naumati Baja.

Headmaster Bhagirath Bhandari said that  Resunga Municipality’s financial support facilitated the endeavour to integrate students into cultural learning experiences.
