DUNAI, DOLPA: School children in Dolpa district have not got books in their hands even two weeks after the start of the new academic session.

This problem has arisen after the seven local agents who had received the books from the Sajha Publications and the private book suppliers for distribution in Dolpa district failed to supply the books to the schools.

Officiating District Education Officer Singha Raj Dangi said that they have been consistently effortful for ensuring that the seven local agents responsible for supplying books to the schools do so at the earliest.

The local agents need to supply 9,791 textbooks of Grade 1 to 10 in Dolpa district in the 2075 BS academic year.
