  3. Many residents seeking seasonal employment in India and other countries as migrant workers, due to the low agricultural production and high unemployment.
  4. Caste-based and gender-based discrimination remain prevalent. The practice of Chhaupadi, which involves isolating women and girls from their households during menstruation and after childbirth, continues to persist in Doti.
  5. Limited access to quality healthcare and education services for residents of Badikedar and Bogatan Phudsil due to their remote locations and a lack of essential equipment and trained human resources.

UMN’s projects uplift economic conditions by improving agricultural practices and income-generating activities, as well as equipping local health institutions and public schools through capacity-building events and support. We empower individuals through a group approach and regular civic education sessions aimed at raising awareness of harmful traditional practices, such as caste-based and gender-based discrimination, child marriage, and chhaupadi, among others.
