The contributions made by the private sector are immense in the education field in the country. While the government schools have ensured accessibility to students of remotest of regions, the private schools have chipped in with providing best quality education.
The private schools such as VS Niketan have played a big role in ensuring that students do not have to travel to foreign countries just for the sake of education.

Dr. Pokharel believes that the beautiful future of future generations; prosperity of the nation and society all depends on quality education. And that is what his school has been focusing on for the past 25 years with the able assistance by skillful teachers and capable administrators.
Established in 2038 BS with only 147 students and 7 teachers (with classes up to 2nd Grade) the school VS Niketan, which is now a VS Niketan Higher Secondary School, has gone through various phases of ups and downs to reach the present golden stage.
Since its students started appearing in School Leaving Certificate (SLC) examination in 2045 BS, the school has been continuously able to provide the proof of its quality students. In 2055 BS, a student of this school stood Board First in the examination. Since 2051 BS, the school started higher secondary classes (Grade 11 and 12).
Besides, since 2057 BS, the school also started teaching management at Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) level. “Because of support, cooperation and encouragement by teachers, students and well-wishers, we are able to become a nationally-recognized educational institution,” said Dr. Pokharel.
Students from all 75 districts of the country study in this school. Meritorious students are also provided scholarship.
The school has also erected impressive infrastructure with modern class rooms, three big science labs and four computer labs along with reference libraries and transport system in place.
“VS Niketan promises to continue to serve the nation and the people by providing quality education, which will contribute to the overall development of the country,” said Dr. Pokharel.
