Contracts have been signed between contractors and Nepal's Central Level Project Implementation Unit-Education for the construction of 14 school buildings across eight districts, funded by a grant from the Government of India. These schools will be built to earthquake-resilient standards, including academic blocks, furnished classrooms, and separate sanitation facilities, as part of India's post-earthquake reconstruction assistance program.

The grant assistance from the Government of India for these 14 school buildings amounts to NRs. 56.02 crore.
The construction will take place in the districts of Gorkha, Nuwakot, Dhading, Dolakha, Kathmandu, Kavrepalanchok, Ramechhap, and Sindhupalchok.
Previously, under the same reconstruction grant, India completed and handed over 70 school buildings and the Tribhuvan University Central Library in January 2024.
The project aims to enhance educational infrastructure by providing earthquake-resilient structures with modern amenities.
