End Educational Inequity

Despite many affirmative actions, many marginalised communities in Nepal have failed to join the mainstream of development and politics. As a result, they have been denied fundamental rights essential to living a life of dignity and happiness. This implies that the fruits of inclusive development are yet to be enjoyed by all people irrespective of social, economic and ethnic status. Mushahars are such a disadvantaged community deprived of social, economic and educational facilities they are entitled to. They have been subjected to social exclusion and discrimination for ages, hindering their children's access to education. Due to widespread poverty, they have to struggle for subsistence, and as a result, they are unable to invest in their children's education.
