The book, which is the author's ninth publication, has a unique take on education and parenting that is sure to resonate with readers from all walks of life.
During the launch event, Anju Bhattarai, principal of Akshara School, spoke about the importance of cultural learning in early education.

Psychologist Dr. Vijay Gyawali applauded the author's subtle portrayal of the notion that the home, which is typically considered a safe space, can actually be unsafe for children. He recommended the book to all teachers, parents, and students.
Professor Dr. Vidyanath Koirala expressed his concern about the tendency to rely solely on books in education and encouraged parents to understand their children's psychology to facilitate effective learning. He pointed out that children have unlimited desires, and that to impart knowledge effectively, parents must communicate with their children using various tools, including technology, rituals, and worship.
Author Damodar Neupane explained that the lack of culture in education has caused the education policy to fail and has contributed to the breakdown of society. His book aims to address this gap by emphasizing the importance of teaching children manners from an early age.
'Gharko Shiksha' has been brought to the market by Shikha Prakashan and is sure to be a valuable addition to the existing literature on education and parenting.
