A Biratnagar school’s plan to build hostel for disabled children hindered by funds crunch

Adarsha Secondary School is the only disabled-friendly community school in the Biratnagar metropolitan area. The city office says it can’t help.

Twenty-year-old Krishna Sahani is from Madhura village in Jahada Rural Municipality of Morang district and currently lives in Biratnagar. Krishna, who is a wheelchair user, had to move his base to the city in search of a school that was disabled-friendly since none of the schools in Jahada could cater to his special needs.
