Shree Ma Vi Bijaybasti is a higher secondary school situated in a remote and village area of Parsa District. The village is surrounded by Chitwan National Park on North and West side, Parsa National park on east side and Balmiki tiger reserve on the south side. There are a total of 700 students in this school. More than half of the students are girls. Girls studying in this school lack exposure and opportunities. Teach for Nepal started placing fellows in Science, Mathematics and English in this school since 2018.

2. Presentation of Video Message by ITU
3. Awareness against misuse of Social Media for Teens
4. One hour "Graph Paper Programming" workshop
