EPS welcomes Nava Dailo

The student at NK Singh Memorial EPS School were in for a treat last week. They got a chance to witness an exclusive concert as part of the Nava Dailo programme that had famous singers like Prashna Shakya, Preeti Kaur, Apar Gurung and Nirnaya da NSK performing for them. Nirnaya also performed a duet with Prashna. The show was a huge success with not only the EPS crowd enjoying the concert, but also for those who were to be helped through Nava dailo. The Nava Dailo educational tour was conducted in order to collect donations for children who were affected by the insurgency.
