Addressing the program, Mayor Prahlad Kumar Kshetri congratulated and extended best wishes to the winning schools as well as those who achieved 100 percent results.

Likewise, the municipality’s Chief Administrative Officer, Rammani Adhikari, emphasized the importance of extracurricular activities in improving the quality of school education. He shared that a calendar of annual extracurricular activities for both community and institutional schools had been printed and distributed.
