CHITWAN, March 2 -- There are a number of underdeveloped villages in Ichhakamana Rural Municipality, the only rural municipality in Chitwan district. Only a few wards have access to roads as most of them have geographical difficulties.
Chief Administrative Officer of the local unit, Narahari Sapkota says the rural municipality constitutes of mostly the Chepang community. Most women here give birth to a large number of children expecting a son. Sons are given so much preference here that those who find out they have a baby girl in their wombs will abort their babies by risking their lives. However, in order to discourage unsafe birth and abortion, the rural municipality has launched a new program from this fiscal year.
