Dalit students at a disadvantage in under-resourced community schools

Most villages in Kaski are emptying out due to outmigration with only impoverished Dalits left behind. With no other option, their children go to schools riddled with problems.

Phuliwang in Annapurna Rural Municipality-10 is a picturesque village around a three-hour bus ride and then an hour’s walk from Pokhara. The village was originally inhabited mostly by the indigenous Gurung community and Dalit community.
