Pokhara village is located in Sisne Rural Municipality-3. Located about 10 km north-west from the district headquarters Rukumkot, the appearance and beauty of this place is as beautiful as the story of the houses here. Local Ramchandra KC said in a humorous manner that when there was no festival or family gathering in the village, he used to take turns staying in the same house with people from all over the village.

28-year-old Ramchandra said that hardly 10-12 youths live in the village regularly and they work day and night when they are busy. "Sometimes someone is sick, and sometimes someone needs what work". And whoever we find, we take them to Rukumkot on a motorcycle or car,' he said, 'many uncles and brothers are abroad, earning money. But our presence is more useful than their money when they are in trouble.'

Another local, Dhan Bahadur KC, said that out of his four brothers and sons, only his eldest son was with him and that the others had gone abroad, and the person who was in front was appearing for help when they were in trouble . Son-daughter-in-law and grandchildren live in America. They have earned money. They call from time to time to ask about happiness and sadness and they say that they are in a bad time, but what do they know when it will happen? When needed, these boys come together and help as much as possible," he said.

The limited youths available in the village complain that others give them many similes like 'unemployed, not working, living in the village without getting a job'. But they claim that they are the ones who come to work when there is an emergency. Ravi KC from Pokhara said, ``Why are you staying in the village, you have to listen to many things. But here, we are the ones who take the lead in caring for the people of the veil and the men. Even so, we are not left to say that we are without work . This is how it is.'

This story is not only about Sisne-3. Such sorrows are common in hilly and mountainous areas. Tilak Rasaili of Sisne-2 Naigadh also said that while staying in the village, they do not have a single moment of free time, but they are not able to make personal gains and progress. ``If someone asks what we do, there is no profession to say exactly . But there is no leisure from morning to evening. From the hearth of the house to the square of the village, the fair will not move without us. But I don't know where the future will go," he said. "If most of the normal jobs were in the village, the remaining time could have been given to the village-society. But that's not the case . We have completely become social workers.' 

Even though there are remote roads, electricity, drinking water and schools up to the secondary level, the bitter reality is that people are moving towards the cities and markets. Mahonlal Oli of Bhume Rural Municipality-9 Chunbang lamented that the village was looking for youth but they ruled the city. We are only old people here. How long does life take? It seems as if the grandchildren can't see their faces,' he said with a smile on his face.

According to the National Census 2078, there are 12,886 families and 56,786 people in Rukum East. Although there are young people in every household, most of them are outside the home. Purnimaya Vishwakarma of Puthauttarganga Rural Municipality-2 said that her 3 brothers and sons have been abroad for a long time. "We took care of our children - when they grew up, they flew away and went somewhere". They earn to earn, but our sufferings are not lessened,' Vishwakarma laments, 'How can we say that this is enough, what is there and what they can do . Therefore, two brothers and sons are abroad, the younger one says he is from Kathmandu. This is how it is.' Uday KC, the leader of

Sisne-2, considers the decrease in agricultural production in the village and lack of visibility to be the main reason for this situation. Nature and weather are not what they used to be. The production is decreasing every year . That's why people started going abroad to collect rations, later this became a phenomenon, and now this situation has come,' KC says, 'now the population in the village is enough to eat with the production of this, but if there are people to work, it has become difficult because there is no age group in the village with strong arms who can sweat in the fields.' Kebindra Gautam, President of Rukumkot Industry and Commerce Association, Rukum East, says . "Unnatural hobbies in expensive clothes, phones and food and other things also increased among the youth. And in order to complete this, it is a situation where one has to ignore the many possibilities of one's own village and end up wandering," he said.

Especially the young people from Rukum have left their homes for employment and where have they gone and are they really working according to their plans? All three levels of government have no data on this issue. Sisne rural municipality president Krishna Regmi said that the condition of the village without youth is becoming painful day by day. We are not in a position to do big things to create employment opportunities at the local level. No one's eyes go to small work . But efforts are being made since the past to advance the youth self-employment program in collaboration with the union and the state government," he said.
