Vinayi Triveni Rural Municipality of Nawalparasi (Bardghat Sustapur) has recently created a local curriculum for classes 1 to 8, which aims to inform students about the historical, geographical, cultural, social, and agricultural aspects of the rural municipality. As part of this initiative, the municipality has prepared textbooks for classes 1 to 5 according to the local curriculum.

According to Ghanshyam Giri, chairman of the rural municipality, the local curriculum has been created in coordination with experts and local stakeholders to ensure that it reflects the unique features and characteristics of Vinayi Triveni. The curriculum, called 'Our Vinayi Triveni', includes subjects such as geography, art, culture, history, language, religion, health, hygiene, environment, profession, disaster management, and life skills.

The rural municipality has already sent the textbooks for classes 1 to 5 of the local curriculum for printing and preparations have been made to provide free textbooks to all schools in the rural municipality within a week. Bhuparaj Pandey, head of the education branch of the rural municipality, said that the textbooks will be implemented in the schools within the month of Baisakh, based on the curriculum.

The local curriculum has also determined the competency level for each class. For classes 1 to 3, students will acquire skills such as introduction of villages, wards, and municipalities, identification of local natural resources and heritage, and tourist spots. For classes 4 and 5, students will learn village mapping, situation identification, and life skills. Classes 6 to 8 will focus on the history of the rural municipality, formation of the rural municipality, service delivery, local tourism, and business potential.
