Book Free Friday: A New Era for Nepali Schools

For two decades, I've carried a singular vision: a day when Nepali children, unburdened by textbooks, could delve into the vibrant world of practical skills, creativity, and self-discovery. A vision born in the nascent school gardens of Tanahu, often met with polite nods but little action. Today, as Kathmandu Metropolitan City embraces 'Book Free Friday' – a dedicated day for hands-on, experiential learning – it is more than just a policy; it is the thrilling realization of a dream that promises to truly empower our next generation.
