BORIA VILLAGE REGISTRY · SCHOOL REGISTRY

Narendra Memorial Janta Secondary School नरेन्द्र मेमोरियल जनता मावि

Rajbiraj Municipality – Ward No. 16, Saptari, Madhesh Province, Nepal. A continuously updated knowledge base and development registry for the school, covering its history, present condition, governance, challenges, achievements, alumni and future plans, and forming part of the Boria Village Module.

This page is a living registry that will keep growing as records are verified and contributed; where information is unverified or still being gathered, that is stated explicitly rather than guessed at. Contribute photos, documents or corrections via the Report page.

1. School Overview

Narendra Memorial Janta Secondary School, also recorded as Narendra Memorial Secondary School, Narendra Memorial Public Secondary School, or नरेन्द्र मेमोरियल जनता मावि, is a public secondary school in Boria (formerly Boria-4, now within Rajbiraj Municipality Ward 16), Saptari. Established in 2036 BS (around 1979–80 AD), it teaches both the general academic stream and a technical and vocational stream, and has been permitted to run Electrical Engineering as a vocational subject; students come mainly from the Yadav, Mandal, Chaudhary and Mehta communities of the surrounding wards.

2. School Development Plan — One Year

A practical, discussable roadmap, not yet approved by the school or SMC, offered as a starting draft for consultation.

Infrastructure

The plan begins with the physical plant: repairing the existing buildings and improving classrooms, adding a proper library along with science and computer laboratories, and introducing smart classrooms where feasible. Reliable drinking water and toilets come next, alongside sports facilities, a playground and a school garden, with a boundary wall, stable electricity and internet connectivity tying the campus together.

Academic Improvement

On the academic side, the priority is building teacher capacity and monitoring attendance more consistently, so that learning outcomes can be tracked honestly. Digital education and reading programmes would sit alongside closer attention to examination performance and expanded scholarship support.

Administration

Administratively, the school would benefit from digitised records and clearer financial transparency, paired with stronger parent engagement, more accountable school governance and deeper community participation in decisions.

Student Development

Beyond the classroom, the plan looks to sports, cultural programmes and debate, science exhibitions and environment clubs, and leadership training and career counselling, so students leave with more than exam results.

The school already runs several home-grown incentive schemes worth building on; see Scholarships below, including teacher-of-the-quarter awards and discipline and attendance prizes documented in 2017.

3. Problem Registry

An evolving list of challenges, each tracked with its status; this is a record of what's known publicly, not a final judgement.

5. Infrastructure Projects

India-funded school block (2007– )

The foundation stone was laid in 2007 by then Indian Ambassador to Nepal, Shivashankar Mukherjee, with Government of India financing, as part of a wider package of 18 India-financed projects across Saptari; the contractor was Danfe Construction Company of Kathmandu. As of a May 2016 report the block was still without window panes, door panels, wiring or paint, nine years after the foundation stone and years past its original deadline. The Indian Embassy's later inauguration of a facility at the school (see Resources) suggests the project was eventually completed, though the exact completion date is not yet confirmed for this registry.

Current tender

An active public notice from Rajbiraj Municipality relevant to school and ward infrastructure is on file, to be reviewed and summarised here once confirmed.

7. School Land Registry

This entry is unverified; official land records (lalpurja / land ownership certificates) and the donor family's full details are still to be confirmed and expanded.

8. Grievances & Public Concerns

Handled with care. This registry does not link to or reproduce any footage involving the mistreatment of a minor. The entries below record that a public concern was raised and by whom; verification and any necessary reporting to school, education and child-protection authorities is a separate, urgent track, not merely a website listing.

DateSummaryRaised byVerificationFollow-up

Rastriya Swatantra Party, Saptari (public statement) unverified Needs direct follow-up with the School Management Committee, District Education Office, and, given the nature of the allegation, the appropriate child-protection authority.

9. Community Protests

Public demonstrations and movements related to the school will be archived here as they are documented; one such record is linked under Resources.

10. Alumni Network & Association

"Once a student, always a member of Narendra Memorial." A five-year working plan (2026–2031) within a ten-year vision (to 2036), designed so the association becomes a permanent development institution for the school rather than a reunion group.

Vision & objectives

The Alumni Association aims to unite every former student of Narendra Memorial into a lifelong network that contributes knowledge, mentorship, financial support, leadership and opportunity to the generations coming after them. In practice, it commits to strengthening the school academically, funding scholarships, helping students from poorer families stay in school, mentoring current students, improving infrastructure, promoting career guidance, preserving the school's history, building national and international alumni connections, and creating pride among former students.

The fund would be managed transparently, with annual audited financial statements published jointly by the Alumni Association and the School Management Committee.

By the school's next major milestone, the Alumni Association aims to reach a full NPR 1 Crore endowment fund, register more than 3,000 alumni from Nepal and abroad, ensure no deserving student drops out for lack of money, establish a modern digital library, a STEM and innovation lab and a fully equipped career guidance centre, and position Narendra Memorial Janta Secondary School as one of the leading community schools in Madhesh Province through sustained alumni-led support. The phased, five-year-then-ten-year approach is meant to be achievable in stages, giving alumni a clear roadmap and real milestones to celebrate on the way to the larger goal.
