On inspection for the site, we, a 5 members team from MsTIM and our respected Sir (Rot. Gopal Krishna Shrestha), headed towards Kokona Village at Lalitpur District. Kokona is just a half an hour ride from central Kathmandu. We departed at 2:00 pm from IOE, Pulchowk Campus. The route for was straight as we took Jwalakhel-Ekantakuna road and Ekantakuna to Kokona road.
We stopped at Secondary school at Kokona. Though the school was government school, but it had outstanding view. The school environment was clean. Infrastructure was very nice. The previous image of government schools in the mind of Nepalese are going to be changed. This school showed the ray of hope of being good transformation. Rotary club of Lalitpur(Mid-town) had shown strong presence in the cleanliness and infrastructure development.
Our purpose of the visit was to survey for the feasibility of water pump designed and proto-typed by us. The pump need a water flow with good gradient to work.
