CHITWAN, JUN 17 - Chepang kids at Lothar-6 in the district have been regular in their school these days, thanks to the solar lamps which have enabled them to study and complete school assignment at home.
Unika Foundation in collaboration with some other organisations had distributed solar lamps to 166 students from 86 households in the ward in January. The organisations also installed solar panels at the Dhungbang Primary School in Shyamarang where the Chepang children are studying.According to Subharam Chepang, a fourth grader, they come to the school carrying their solar lamps and charge them every day. “When the classes end, we return home with textbooks as well as the fully charged lamps and as a result, we do not have to worry about studying at night,” he said.
The students said they are more interested in studies these days due to the solar lamps.
School headmaster Aatibal Chepang said the number of students attending classes has increased of late. “They are compelled to come to school even for charging their lamps,” he said, adding that many students used to come to school only to receive books or scholarships in the past.
Meanwhile, the new facility in the school has also attracted guardians to the school. Sometimes, the parents themselves visit the school in order to charge their lamps. Aatibal said students were compelled to sleep early as they could not afford kerosene in the past. Local Man Bahadur Chepang said they used to make fire using firewood at night but the solar lamps solved their problem now.
