There are 10 students of various disciplines including mechanical, automobile and electrical studying in the third year of graduation in the Shireto team.

Faculty Advisor Subodh Kumar Ghimire is leading the team.

Taking Ghimire's advice and suggestions, Saugat Pandey, Dhan Prasad Pradhan and Ojashvi Sharma studying mechanical engineering and Anil Khadka, Aman Shrestha, Eugene Maharjan, Bhubaneswar Dahal and Vivek Poudel studying automobile engineering as well as Swarnim Shrestha studying electronics and communication are working at the best of their abilities for creating the vehicle.
