Meals are prepared in the Mustang School Hostel using steam technology
For the past seven years, Nalanda Buddhist School in Tukuche Jhilingh, Mustang, has avoided using gas cylinders for cooking. According to the school’s headmaster, 240 instructors and students who reside in the hostel there eat meals prepared with steam technology. Firewood is bought and stored for use, so there is never a shortage in the Mustang district. Every year, more than one million pieces of firewood are used. Snacks, tea, and hot water are made with steam technology. Compared to electrical appliances and cooking gas, steam technology is more efficient, quicker, and less expensive. The meal preparation for everyone takes only fifteen minutes. With the use of five containers, the technology can cook for over 600 people at once.
Steam produced by heating water in a huge vessel is utilized to cook food in a separate room via an iron conduit. The school offers Lama Education to students from low-income families in several parts of India and Nepal. Tibetan, English, and Nepali textbooks are used to teach Buddhism in addition to the official government-imposed curriculum. Schools in the Mustang district have performed exceptionally well on the SEE exam during the past two years. A limited budget is provided by the government, and the most of the money is raised through charitable initiatives pertaining to Buddhist education in Taiwan, India, and other nations. The physical infrastructure of the school is regarded as exceptional as well.
