Our mission is to reduce the technological and educational gap
in remote and rural areas of Nepal

''We are in the digital age now. Students are learning on their own, aided by technology. We used to solely rely on teachers to acquire knowledge. Now, students can learn independently with the help of CLEC''.

"Due to the CLEC installed in 2019, we have doubled our number of students in 2021."
