In this session a Student built project was discussed.

Mr. Bikram Parajuli (who is also a member of Students’ Volunteering Team) on behalf of “Code Kavya” along with his other team members, pitched his project idea (which he is currently working on).

It is about a development of a software; a mobile app which provides to access notices, information of different clubs in Pokhara University, information on colleges (both central and affiliated), contact resources and many more.
