President Dhungana pledged that the free textbooks meant for the students of community schools would be handed to the students reaching out their homes.
Likewise, NSU general secretary Deepak Bhattarai said they would also monitor the private boarding schools in the districts to stop charging fee of the period when the educational institutions remained closed. He also informed that the NSU has already made a circular to all the districts to organize blood donation and sapling plantation across the country on July 2 (Thursday) to mark the 96th birth anniversary of the NC’s former President and ex-Prime Minister the late Girija Prasad Koirala.
