Speaking on the occasion, Minister Gurung said, “Nepal has already entered a new era of the republic. There is no possibility of turning back.”

 He emphasised that the former king had been treated with due respect but warned that if such incidents continued, the government would be compelled to revoke that respect.

Additionally, Minister Gurung, who is also the former Chief Minister of Gandaki Province, highlighted the government’s substantial investment in public schools. He stressed that schools, teachers, and parents must focus on improving the quality of education.  The school is located in Waling Municipality-13. 

Established in 1975, the school is considered one of the model schools of the district. According to Headmaster Yam Bahadur Kunwar, over 2,000 students from the school have already appeared in SLC examinations.. 

Declaring the school as a technology-friendly residential school, the management has put forth various plans to upgrade the school. The school has also planned to begin a campaign to purchase additional land. 

On different dates, the school had accepted 13 ropanis of land as donations. There are five separate buildings of the school, constructed with the help of various donors.
