It is more than a year the students of Panchakanya Primary School located at Mankha-9 VDC; Sindhupalchowk, were without proper class rooms after the earthquake destroyed their school building. NJSI has taken the task of making a semi-permanent building for the school more than six months ago. However, the construction work delayed due to lack of proper allotment of land to build the structure. Once it was done the building started and now completed.
The block will have two big rooms, one of it being ECD for the small children. The school has suffered children leaving the school due to lack of facility. Now they hope to have more children in the coming year.
On 21st September 2016 NJSI handed over Panchkanya School to the School Management Committee. This day was the awaited for all as once again children could have suitable education environment. The chairpe

The key of the school was handed over to Mr. Shyam Thapa, a resource person from Education department of Sindupalchowk.
