Sinja (Jumla), Poush 7 — The science laboratory established at Kalika Secondary School in Badki of Hima Rural Municipality–1 has made it easier for students to learn through practical work.

The science laboratory was established at the school under the Sashakta Balika Project, operated with the support of Plan International Nepal and in partnership with PES Nepal Jumla.
A timetable has been prepared to provide regular practical sessions to students from Grades 8 to 10. Student Dhubresnath Yogi said he was happy to get the opportunity to practice in the laboratory and noted that practical learning has made it easier to understand science.
