The inauguration ceremony featured notable dignitaries, including the Honorable Communication Minister Mr. Prithvi Subba Gurung, who highlighted the significance of the initiative in addressing educational challenges in rural Nepal. H.E. Mr. Chen Song, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Nepal, also expressed his support through a special video message, emphasizing the importance of education and innovation in empowering future generations.
