Principal Saved 900 Students From Flood | Austin News

In a heart-stopping moment, Nepali principal Rajendra Dawadi evacuated 900 students seconds before flash floods obliterated his school — saving lives while watching his own alma mater vanish in the Himalayan disaster that’s now claimed over 900 lives and left thousands missing. With nearly 70 schools destroyed and 19,000 students displaced, Dawadi, who once taught there himself, now leads the charge to rebuild education — not as a hero, but as a guardian of his students’ futures. Parents and pupils hail him as a savior, but he insists it was simply doing his job. Now, he’s calling on authorities to act fast: provide mental health support and get kids back in classrooms — even if it means temporary relocation — so no child loses another day of learning.
