Ganesh Ram Sinkemana and Bikash Parajuli established the Danfe Aircraft Fabrication Group and enlisted the help of six other students, namely Rabindra Shrestha, Ramesh Ranabhat, Anil Maharjan, Prasant Malla, Dipesh Poudel and Baburam Kharel.

Mithila: A Vast and Intriguing Region

Whilst exploring ancient cities and regions, one learns much about the history of the location, how it was established, why a certain culture is dominant and how the past has shaped the present. Mithila was originally located in what was once Ancient India. Although the Mithila region spreads over India, Nepal and Bihar, it has been determined that the city of Mithila itself was what is known as Janakpur today. Many traditions and rare cultural gems still remain, even though the borders, population and rulers might have changed.
