Addressing the event, the Minister for Science, Education, and Technology, Ashok Rai, thanked the Indian government for vehicular support stating it would facilitate students during their studies.

“Currently, the schools are unevenly distributed. Previously there was no mapping of the schools but now we are planning to merge them. The merger of two-three schools into one would obviously make the students travel more. This is precisely why our schools need more means of transport.
There is an increased demand for buses. In the coming days, such support from the Indian government would help us cater to those needs and we will continue to receive this support from the Indian Embassy and the government. I am confident that assistance from India would certainly help our children avail good education, Rai said.
Under the Nepal-India Development Partnership Programme, which has been in vogue since 1994, a total of 974 ambulances and 234 school buses have been gifted by the Indian government to date.
