Minister for Energy, Water Resource and Irrigation, Barshaman Pun, on Wednesday extended financial support to four poor students and launched the school admission campaign.

As per the national admission campaign, Minister Pun extended Rs 10,000 each to Kabita Shahi of grade one, Babita Shahi of grade two, Prasansa Sen of grade three and Chabindra Bista of grade ten of Bal Kalyan Namuna Secondary School based in Liwang, the district headquarters.

School Principal Madhu Sundan Pokharel said the minister extended the support as the students came from poor economic background and did not have fathers.
