Welcome To CAHURAST, Nepal

Introduction

The people of Nepal have been struggling for the establishment of a free, fair and justful society since the 1930s and, from 1996, the Nepal Communist Party (Maoist) waged a decade long war for fundamental changes in governance. The popular movement of 2006 which resulted from this was a fusion of the peaceful and armed movement, and opened avenues for changes in the socio-political context of Nepal. However, previous political movements and social reforms have not fulfilled the aspirations of the people as expressed at different times and Nepali people in and outside the country have not been satisfactually granted the different rights ensured by national and international laws and conventions. Further, the combination of rapid growth in the gap between rich and poor with occupational groups becoming deskilled and marginalized has meant the youth have been attracted to foreign employment, and thus the nation suffers from growing dependency. What is now required is the uplifting of the socioeconomic condition of people to ensure positive and sustainable development of their livelihoods.
