LAMJUNG: A local community school has decided to provide Rs 500 as monthly allowance to its students in Dordi Rural Municipality-1 of Lamjung district.

The Bharate-based Mahadev Primary School made the decision to give the allowance following a decrease in the number of students in the school.

The community school will distribute the allowance from the new academic year 2076, in the hope to attract more students.
