An ex-army secondary School at Rampur-3 is going to be registered under trust (Guthi). Raman Bahadur Rana, the President of the school management committee said the school will be under trust to get enough support from India through the Indian Embassy, where they worked as army and retired. He added school being under private limited does not meet the criteria for getting donation from India.
The school was established in 1998 by Rampur Ex-army Institution (REI), consists about 250 ex-army men including Indian Army in majority, and British army and Nepali Army. It remained closed in 2001/2002 and 2002/2003 sessions because of Maoist insurgency.
Total 650 students have been studying at the school now. About 10% students from Dalits, disadvantages, and poor have got scholarships. The school says it has offered quality education at a low cost. Hopefully, Raman Bahadur said by making the school a trust, they will be able to provide more scholarship and more infrastructures for the school.
Besides school, REI has done various other tihngs. Last year, it electrified few villages of Darcha, the adjacent village of Rampur. A rural road to link Sitakunda, a holy place on a high hill and a giant drinking water project with overhead tank for Rampur valley are projects in pipeline of REI. Raman Bahadur added the Rampur valley is in need of ambulance. They will propose to India for providing ambulance too.
