16th Mason training accomplished in Dhading
As part of the Baliyo Ghar program, a Seven-Day Course on Mason Training has been successfully accomplished here at Nilkantha Municipality-8 (Murali Bhanjyang), Dhading under the coordination of trainers Debin Maharjan, Sujan Bhusal, Subash Dhakal, Sangib Shrestha and construction technician Baburam Syawa. Altogether 33 masons currently working in the field of rural building construction have been certified as trained ones for the construction of earthquake resistant rural residential buildings.
This sixteenth series of mason training was conducted jointly by Department of Rural Development and Building Construction (DUDBC)-Dhading, and Nilkantha Municipality in association with National Society for Earthquake Technology (NSET-Nepal) under the complete funding by United States Agency for International Development (USAID-Nepal).
The certificate distribution program was informally started with the collection of feedbacks from the participants. Almost all participants were satisfied with the training program. Kajiman Shrestha said that, “I was amazed during the practical on slab test as I have thought the slab will fail in less amount of load application as it have already failed before but the case was different with the position of reinforcement.” Another participant, Ganga Narayan Shrestha was thankful to the organizers for delivering all the ideas and techniques in this seven day mason training session. Trainer Sangib Shrestha made the participants realize that the masons have the core responsibility to build earthquake resistant buildings in our country Nepal, traumatized by Gorkha earthquake and its many aftershocks on last day of training.”
