A newly constructed school building of Praja Kalyan Basic Level School was handed over to the school administration at Raksirang Rural Municipality, Makawanpur, yesterday.

The 2015 earthquakes had destroyed the school buildings and other infrastructure.

Over Rs 10 million was allocated for construction of the school infrastructure.

Poudel said over Rs nine million was spent on building construction, including management of desks, benches and book corners, among other infrastructure.
