Bhandari, Rijal, and other stakeholders appreciated the developmental support being provided by the Government of India to the people of Nepal. They expressed confidence that the infrastructure being created would help the school students and local community learn about the history and culture of the Dullu Kingdom. It would also help create an improved environment for learning and contribute to the overall development of the education and culture sectors in Karnali Province of Nepal, they noted.
