Dalit students get separate row to have lunch

NUWAKOT, March 9: Dalit students of Annapurna Primary School located in Budhasi VDC-3 have been tortured by the acts of caste discrimination imposed upon them for the past three years.

According to the Chairman of School Management Committee Dil Bahadur Sunar, caste discrimination, which the law has prohibited, was manifested after the implementation of Food for Education Programme in our school.

The nutritious food prepared in the school is distributed to dalit and non-dalit student by making their separate lines. Headmaster of the school Nawaraj Shrestha took it as a result of the lack of social consciousness. He also agreed that the culture of caste discrimination is still prevalent in his school.

'Bringing equality in school has been a very difficult task as caste discrimination has not yet eliminated from the society', headmaster Shrestha said. The school was established in 1998 in dalit community targeting backward dalit children. Classes are run up to three and around 90 dalit students are studying in the school.

There are only 15 non-dalit students in the school. But the discrimination is intensified when the school administration gives its support to these minority students. To impose discriminatory activities in the school is to imprint the discrimination culture in the minds of delicate students, said Ramsharan, an educated youth of the community adding how the social transformation is possible if evil practices in stead of good practices are exercised from the school?

Since it has been 40 years that the law has been made against discrimination in public places, it has not been effective in practice.
