At least 100 teachers will be deployed for 100 days to teach all subjects in all the schools in the city. Mayor Ran Bahadur Rai said that such a program was brought as the impact of COVID-19 on all sectors was special and long-lasting.

He also said that the entire budget of the city has given priority to education. "It is necessary to increase investment in education for the prosperity of the city and production of skilled manpower required for nation building," he said. "There are other innovative programs in education." The city has 14 schools, including 14 secondary schools.

A large city in the eastern hills Suryodaya has put the health sector on the priority list while passing a budget, policy, and program of Rs 1.35 billion for the coming year.
