At the North Gorkha is only connected with Tibet while at the south it's connected with Chitwan, Tanahu and Dhading. The geography elevation throughout Gorkha ranges from 488 meters to a massive 8516 meters.

 

As this is one of the three major districts in Nepal seriously affected by the Civil War in 1995, the government has made no effort to show any support for economical change.

The villager s in these areas are all depending upon only in agriculture since they have not their alternative sources of income. The people are uneducated, illiterate, and ignorant due to a lack of sound education. The people’s awareness toward education is very low and negative because of their ignorance. The school children drop out their studies in the duration of their school life. Many enthusiastic youths are discouraged in the lack of income and have foreigned in search of job and income.

The major castes in this area are Barman, Chhatri,  Baram, Gurung , Sarki, Kami and Damai.

The local community is still very committed to ancient old traditions and cultural heritage we believe in maintaining these traditions while focusing on moving forward with the necessary facilities, Education and Health services.

. There are a variety of different Castes within these   villages, ranging from the lowest to the highest cast.People within these areas are uneducated, conservative and very poor, the older generation never had the option for quality education with most generally working in fields or doing labour work. Which is normally just enough support and to feed their family with nothing left for children's education or health requirements.

The few government schools that do exist in these remote areas are often ramshackle collections of crumbling bricks, loose metal sheets and dirt floors, with below basic education standards. Although these structures are no longer safe for children, they continue to be used because the community has no alternative. Young adult face many problems in obtaining jobs, once they have completed their education, as none of the students would have ever seen or touched a computer
