Sindhupalchok: The ‘Lively Village’ project brought by the Government of China has been initiated from Sindhupalchok district. The project is aimed at poverty alleviation in South Asian countries. In this connection, the Chinese government is developing Kuvinde of Sindhupalchok as the ‘lively village’. Former Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota and Economic and Commercial Consular at the Embassy of China to Nepal, Shi Yu, jointly inaugurated the Lively Village model project of the China-South Asian Nations Poverty Alleviation and Development Cooperation Centre on Monday.

Under this project, the Government of China will provide financial and technical support to Kuvinde at Chautara Sangachokgadhi Municipality-4 for agriculture and livestock development.
