of 250 houses, that houses 50% of Brahmins and Tamang who
reside in the village. It is a village that lacks infrastructure
to get water and electricity, although having the source.
20% of the village people have general education, but do
not have any formal degree.
This
village grows primarily wheat, rice, and corn. Although
they can grow vegetables in the village, they lack the infrastructure
to export the products to the nearest city. The village
also has a major income from the milk that they sell to
the nearest city. Only 50% of the household are income based
others rely on their own farm products.
Although
the village is only 27km from Kathmandu, it lacks electricity.
Due to the high rate of illiteracy, the village still lacks
the knowledge of sending their children to school. There
are about 3 village development committees that are near
to this village. |
