There are Science laboratories having adequate facilities for practical work in Physics, Chemistry and Biology. These encourage students to learn through experiment and research. Students who have opted for science at the 10+2 level, do extensive laboratory work to reinforce their learning. Students of all classes make regular visits to the laboratories to get a first hand experience of the things taught in class. Teachers who teach science try to make science classes interesting and lively by showing experiments taken from real life. Such a method involves active participation of students who take a great delight in exploring the world of science around them. Science exhibitions are held at regular intervals to give the students an opportunity to display their powers of observation and inference.

The library is a major resource of any modern institution. Students cannot acquire knowledge only through text books or classroom lectures. The library is of great help in the fulfillment of their aim because it provides ample opportunities for acquiring knowledge. The knowledge gained through the class may be forgotten after some time but that which the students acquire themselves through self study will be remembered by them even after leaving school. The library does the work of a teacher for students. It will not be wrong to say that the defects of classroom teaching can be rectified through the library. A library is a house of books, journals, cassettes and other written literature preserved for consultation and reference. It provides information, acts as a means of self-education and stimulates one to participate in national welfare. A library plays a vital role in making citizens enlightened. It furnishes information on all subjects, provides education to participate intelligently in a society and gives an opportunity of reading for pleasure. It satisfies the intellectual needs of an individual child. The school has one open-shelf library that is designed to encourage students to develop an interest in a variety of subjects. Every class has a separate class library from which students can borrow books. A book is usually issued to each student for a period of one week. The libraries have a wide range of books to meet the demands of every age group and taste. They try to develop the reading habit and appreciation of literature among students. The various reference books on every subject help students acquire in-depth knowledge and also help students to develop an independence in solving problems. The libraries subscribe to a large number of newspapers, journals, magazines and periodicals, thus keeping the students in touch with happenings in Nepal and the outside world. The Central Library has an audio-visual section. It has a large number of audio and video cassettes on various subjects. Language skills are promoted through this medium. Documentaries/Children’s films are screened at regular intervals.
Due to the rapid development in the field of Information Technology (IT) and its applications in the business world, the demand for skilled man-power in Information Technology has increased too. One of the top ten skills that every employer of the modern world would like in an employee is an ability to operate computers. Thus one cannot expect a good job even though he/she holds good academic qualification unless he/she has good knowledge of computers. To be a successful employer too, one needs to keep pace with the changing face of the latest technology. The industry like any other industry is one of the most favourable and potential sectors for national economic expansion. To be able to use computers, it is essential that you are proficient in applications such as Word Processing, Databases, Spreadsheet, Graphical Presentation, Internet and Electronic Mail and efficient in Operating System and Programming Logic & Techniques which have now become an important part of the school curriculum. A good computer education is one which is designed to develop your global career. An Internet connection, enables one to talk to his/her friends and families around any part of the world, gather invaluable information, exchange news, learn foreign languages, find new friends, meet people, make reservations, maintain bank accounts, observe multimedia educational software, learn and test one’s knowledge of software development etc. Thus Computer Studies have been introduced as a part of the regular curriculum.
