A poem by Timilsina U Ra Ma (She And Me) depicted the class division skillfully. Likewise, a poem by Shrestha titled Malai Man Chha (What I Wanted To Do) desired to make her dream true while Tamang's poem titled Ma Ko Hun (Who Am I ?) sketched the identity of Tamang civilisation.

Jury committee members Deepak Sapkota and Bishwa Sigdel were surprised to see the young students reading high-quality poems.

At the same function, musician Rajesh Thapa Magar and talented science student Rajit Dahal, both born in the Rural Municipality, were honoured for their significant achievement.
