Pipalnath Lower Secondary School, Bimaicha




This school is located in a very beautiful place of Rukum district. It’s on top of a sunny hill right in front of the Sisne Mountain. About 1 hour drive will lead you to Solabang and from there you have to walk on foot for three hours. A serpentine foot-trail in a rectangular slope leads you finally to a heaven-like elevated plain land with delicious climate. The name of the place is Bimaicha and it lies in Rugha 4, Rukum.
The buildings are beautiful, well roofed and local people are working for making the ground plain. Established in 2028 BS and managed by active SMC chairperson the school has good physical infrastructure. Khum Bahadur Budhathoki, the head teacher of the school is a very hardworking person. The school has PTA and Child Club also. There are about 250 students in the primary level. Majority of the students are from Chhetri community however nearly half of the students are from Janajati followed by the students from Dalit community.
The school has not achieved good promotion rate. Last year only 41% student passed Grade 1 and the percentage for Grade 5 is almost 100%. All failed students repeat the same class. The average score of the students is also not satisfactory despite appropriate student-teacher ratio (1:40). There are 9 teachers and majority of them have passed Intermediate Level.
