Enhancing Education by providing financial support from Seed-Fund:

The collected Seed-Funds for “Shree Simle Secondary School Trust Fund” is used as per the objectives of the collected fund. The Seed-Fund collected in the name of “Shree Simle Secondary School Trust-Fund” is deposited in a cooperative in Kathmandu in Fixed-Deposit scheme (through Shree Simle Secondary School management committee) and the interest earned from this fund is directly send to this school (once in every three months). The amount sent to this school is used for the payment of the monthly salaries of secondary level school teachers. Until now (September 2017), the total of NRs 841861 has been already sent to this school for this purpose.

There is special reason for sending the money for the monthly salaries of the secondary level teacher. The reason is that this school was upgraded to secondary level since 2009 but the monthly salaries of teachers at the secondary level were managed by the village development budget. When the government strictly prohibited spending such development budget to the school teachers then regular teaching-learning at the secondary level school became in crisis. So, the villagers and well wishers of this village school started to generate special Seed-Fund to continue regular teaching at the secondary level (until the state provides government employed/paid teachers, which until now i.e. January 30, 2018 has not been done). So, this Seed-Fund is a part of this initiative and this fund is utilized as per the decision of the REF. This Seed-Fund then is converted into the “Shree Simle Secondary Education Trust-Fund” as per the organizational policy 2017.
