Japan's Assistance for the Project for the Construction of Vocational Training Rooms of the Deaf School in Baglung

The Government of Japan has decided to extend financial assistance of 53,762 US Dollars; equivalent to approximately 5,226,204 Nepalese Rupees, to Dhaulagiri Deaf (Residential) School, a government school in Baglung District. This financial assistance is extended under the Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security Projects (GGP) scheme of the Government of Japan in Japan's Fiscal Year 2013. Dhaulagiri Deaf (Residential) School will implement the Project for the Construction of Vocational Training Rooms of the Deaf School in Baglung.

A Grant Contract relating to this project was signed and exchanged today at the Embassy of Japan in Nepal between His Excellency Mr. Masashi OGAWA, Ambassador of Japan to Nepal, and Mr. K.B. Rana Magar, Founder/Member of SMC, to Dhaulagiri Deaf (Residential) School.

This grant assistance will be used to construct facilities and to provide equipment for computer education and vocational training for hearing impaired students in Class V to XII, in order that they have more chance of getting a job after finishing school.  This project will build a total of 363.14 square meters, divided into six rooms as follows:-  computer classroom; fine arts/painting classroom; plumbing classroom; tailoring, knitting and weaving classroom; theoretical classroom, and a training equipment store room, on the existing three story school building.  This project will also provide equipment for training; two computers for the instructor, a projector, ten sewing machines and furniture for the class rooms.

Dhaulagiri Deaf (Residential) School currently has students from Grade I to VIII from 18 different districts of Nepal and has a plan to upgrade the school to Grade XII by 2018. This project will provide computer education and vocational training, and training in fine arts/painting, plumbing, tailoring and knitting/ weaving to about 100 students over Grade V.  This will enable the students to obtain computer and other vocational skills and knowledge.  It is expected that the opportunities for them to be active in society will increase after finishing school, and it is also expected that after the successful implementation of the project, the school may produce trainers for computer and various vocational training by using sign language.

The Embassy of Japan expects that opportunities for hearing impaired people to play an active part in society will be increased through this project.
