Vidyodaya Alumni Energized to Transform School; Forum Established Under Leadership of Yu Bahadur Pun

Beni (Myagdi). Former students of Vidyodaya Basic School in Bakhet, Beni Municipality-10, Myagdi, have organized to support the educational and physical transformation of the school.

With a commitment to making the school technology-friendly and a model institution, the first historic gathering of alumni held on Wednesday unanimously elected an 11-member ad hoc working committee of the "Vidyodaya Alumni Forum" under the chairmanship of Yu Bahadur Pun.

Started with the main slogan "My School, My Responsibility," this campaign aims to integrate the power and resources of former students to improve the educational quality of the community school.

Jeevan Ramjali was elected as the Vice-Chairperson of the newly elected committee, Sujan as Secretary, Santosh Paija as Treasurer, and Arjun Pun as Joint Secretary. Similarly, Secretary Sujan Pun informed that Pradip Pun, Santosh Paija, Krishna Pun, Chhak Prasad Thapa, Bheshraj Thapa, Homkumari Ramjali, Dinesh Paija, and Nirajan Pun are members of the committee.

Addressing the gathering, the newly elected Chairperson Yu Bahadur Pun stated that the right time has come to repay the debt of the education the school provided them. 

"The situation where our younger brothers and sisters studying in the same school where we learned our basics remain far from technology must not continue," Chairperson Pun said. "We will immediately implement the 'One Classroom, One Smart Board' project to take the school into the digital age."

The first meeting of the forum made significant decisions to install modern smart boards in every classroom, establish an e-library, and set up a scholarship endowment fund for economically underprivileged students. Secretary Pun mentioned that alumni across the world will be mobilized according to their educational batches for this campaign.

During the program, Headmaster Prakash Adhikari expressed his happiness, stating that this initiative by the former students has provided great energy to preserve the reputation of the community school and ensure quality education.

The gathering also passed the "Vidyodaya Declaration-2082" with the goal of making Vidyodaya completely technology-friendly within the next five years and increasing student enrollment and learning achievements. 

At the end of the program, all participants made a collective commitment to provide physical, moral, and financial support for the development of their school.
