Kathmandu,
Feb. 23:
Ambassador
of the European Union to Nepal Veronica Cody Friday laid the foundation stone
for an integrated learning centre for solid waste and natural resource
management in Panauti Municipality.
She
also handed over a pick-up truck and tricycles for garbage collection and other
gadgets required for solid waste management to the municipality authorities.
The
learning centre will have around 100 women trainers as ‘multipliers’ who will
capacitate other women in the municipality on effective ways of rain water
harvesting, harnessing energy from biogas plants and disseminate knowledge on
how a compost plant can be made by utilising degradable wastes.
Cody highlighted
that state restructuring is only one of the many challenges that Nepal is
facing today in trying to build up its economy, further develop infrastructure
and provide a healthier and safer environment in which communities can live and
grow.
Mayor of the Municipality Bhim Neupane
said that the city was working towards enlisting Panauti in the World Heritage
list.
