The central president of Nepal Chepang Association and member of the Constituent Assembly Gavindram Chepang inaugurated the state convention.
Chepang people live in Chitwan, Makwanpur and Dhading of Bagmati province. Similarly, Chepang is also located in Gaerkha district of Gandaki province, which is close to Chitwan. The Chepang community has mostly lived in rugged mountainous areas. According to Nepal Chepang Association, the total population of Chepang community is 84 thousand 364. Central Chairman Gavindram Chepang says that there is still a lack of basic infrastructure such as roads, electricity, good schools and health facilities in the Chepang residential area.
Central Chairman Gavindram Chepang has been demanding to set up a protected area for the upliftment of the Chepang caste as soon as there is a provision in the constitution for the upliftment of the Chepang caste, as they are a minority community that has been left behind in development. In addition to this, the state should bring other timely plans, programs and budgets for Chepang along with campaigns such as chiuri tree and bat conservation, which are connected with the traditions and enterprises of this caste.
