A Memorandum of Understanding was signed on July 17, 2008 by the Embassy of India, Kathmandu with District Development Committee, Kaski and Shree Janapriya Multiple Campus, Simalchaur, Pokhara for providing a grant assistance of Nrs.26.27 million for construction of four storied building and provision of furniture for the campus under the India-Nepal Economic Cooperation Programme.

Established in 1991, Shree Janapriya Multiple Campus at Simalchaur is the only community based institution in Pokhara affiliated to Tribhuvan University and Higher Secondary Education Board of Nepal. The Campus is providing education upto Bachelor’s degree to about 2500 students, about 35% of which are girls. With the growing number of students and their increasing educational needs, the campus requires augmentation of its infrastructure. The new four storied building having 16 rooms and a multipurpose hall with provision of furniture will meet this need and will also enable the campus to introduce new courses of B. Ed. and Master of Business Studies.

The project will be implemented by District Development Committee, Kaski, while an oversight committee consisting of representatives from Campus Management, District Development Committee and District Education Office will oversee the implementation of the project.

This is the fifth educational project undertaken by the Government of India in district Kaski in recent years and overall, is among more than 280 large and small projects currently being implemented under the India-Nepal Economic Cooperation Programme in the sectors of education, health, community development and infrastructure covering all districts of Nepal with an outlay of over NRs.22 billions.
