Historical Background
“Collaborating with the social service and education enthusiasts of Siddhalek Rural Municipality, Ward No. 3 (formerly known as Ward No. 2 and 3 of Salang VDC), Padheri, Bajhbari, Chalise, Ratamate, Tin Khande, and Tarebir, a school building was established in Ward No. 3 in the year 2038 BS, after raising funds through Deusi-Bhailo program during the festival of Tihar. The school was run by hiring local teachers.
In the year 2039 BS, all the communities came together and started contributing monthly, ranging from 50 paisa to 100 rupees, to support the regular operation of the school. The school was operating smoothly until the establishment of Amar Adarsha Primary School by JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) and GIZ (German Society for International Cooperation) in the year 2040 BS. After that, the student enrollment decreased, and the school had to shut down due to the lack of a conducive learning environment.
Education is a fundamental right of every human being. Education cannot keep up with modern life without upgrading itself. Upgrading the school due to the high demand for education, the school was upgraded, and a primary level teacher was appointed in the year 2045 BS. Subsequently, more classes were added, and now the school provides education up to class 5 and is continually upgrading to provide education up to class 8.”
All parents, teachers, and staff members of this school have contributed actively and appropriately in every program organized by the school, to ensure that the light of education never dims for their children. The school takes pride in the support and enthusiasm of the parents, teachers, and education enthusiasts, who feel a sense of honor in being part of the school family.
In 2072 BS, due to the earthquake, the school faced difficulties in carrying out educational activities as the school infrastructure was damaged. However, the school administration worked in collaboration with the district coordination unit of Dhading to reconstruct the damaged buildings through the earthquake reconstruction program. As a result, the school has now expanded to 2 floors of the Trust building and 4 floors of the R.S.S. building. The number of classrooms has decreased, but the construction work of the R.S.S. building has been progressing rapidly.
According to the five-year plan, the operation of grade 12 was initiated in this school in the year 2076 B.S. after receiving permission from the rural municipality. Since it was necessary to operate grade 11 as well, permission was granted by the village council according to the decision made on 2076.02.01. Additionally, due to the lack of classrooms, four R.C.C. buildings were made available from the District Coordination Unit for implementation. A total of 18 classrooms were constructed in this school from Dading, and under the President’s educational reform program, a total of 20 new classrooms were constructed, including two classrooms for computer labs, science labs, and under the President’s educational reform program.
In order to create a conducive environment for the school and provide information and communication technology, programs such as computer labs, science labs, and President’s Educational Reform Program were initiated in this school.
