Anyone who sees Tulta and Naugade villages in Turmakhand Rural Municipality-6 Ranivan of Achham from the Dailekh of Karnali highway, aha! He takes a photo saying . Put in social networks .

is not as easy as it looks from the outside, the lifestyle of the people of this village. Although the village looks beautiful from the outside, most of the houses look empty inside. Some houses are in ruins. During the afternoon, elderly people and children are often seen in a house . The village has become like a desert .

It takes 6 to 7 hours on foot to reach the center of Turmakhand. This village is more closely related to Dailekh than Achham. The local residents of Achham have not received anything other than the government documents that they should have received from the government agencies of Achham. The nearest markets are Dailekh's Tunibugar and Rakam. These markets of Dailekh have made the livelihood of the local people easy.

In response to how beautiful the village looks when viewed from Dailekh, 57-year-old Ambi from this village recites a piece of Deuda's song and says:

This old one is gone, not another old one. From the outside, the houses look like they are archaic, well equipped, but there is nothing inside.

Locals here have been deprived of facilities such as roads, education, health, and employment for years. The most affected are the floods of Karnali that come every year. Karnali river has been cutting more areas than its flowing area every year. Flooding inside the house . The planted field is washed away . The local people are disappointed after the cultivated land gets mixed with the Karnali river every year.

Many times, government officials visit this village to monitor the damaged areas. They only give assurances and come back. "Whoever comes". See . They take photos and go. Our pain has been the same for years," says Ambi. "At the end of the year, they give 20 kg of rice as relief. If there is danger, they give a tripal saying to go and sit on the hill and leave. The embankment is what we need to stop the flood. They only give assurances.

Even though government officials, leaders and natural calamities have been coming to the village for years, the local residents of Karnali continue to hope for embankment, relief and restoration. A few days ago there was a flood. Entered the cultivated area . Everything was washed away" says 60-year-old Tara Majhi of Naugade, "All the elder Deurani of the village came and took away the grain inside the house . The final price of the item is given. It will be outside in the afternoon.

According to locals, around 25 houses in Naugade are at high risk of flooding. To sell

products

In Tulta and Naugade, production of mustard, almonds and tomatoes is good . The local Jaldhari Majhi said that Dailekh's Tunibagar and Rakam market made it easy to sell these products produced in the village.

"For us, the closest markets are Tunibugger and Rakam". If we did not have access to these markets, the production would have gone to waste and it would have been difficult to meet the expenses," she says, "We have formed a group of women in the village. We collect the vegetables and other products produced here and sell them.

She said that since there is no access to the road, she has to carry them to the market. She said that even though there is a dirt road from the center of Turmakhand Rural Municipality to Ranivan, the locals are not able to use the road.

'Even if the road is rough, in winter if someone makes a reservation, the vehicle will come to the village . It doesn't even come in the rain,' she said, 'Even when it's difficult, we can't see the car.' Most of the vegetables we produce have to be carried. The road has reached the village, but we have not worked on this road till today.'

Weak education, impact of migration

Among the 12 secondary schools in Turmakhand Rural Municipality, the weakest school in 2080 was Menaka Mavi in ​​Turmakhand Rural Municipality - 6 in Tulta . Out of 30 students who participated in the exam, only 3 passed.

'Earlier, there were more than 400 students in this school . Now there are only 313 students," said Dan Bahadur Majhi, the principal of the school. "There is no subject teacher in the school. There is no manpower according to the quota, but the work has to be done from private sources. The school itself has not been able to provide quality education. In the previous years too, the condition of SEE is weak.

He said that migration has the effect of reducing the number of students every year. Some take their children from the village to India and some keep them in the plains. Parents of the students are not found in the village even if they are searched. The problem of students not coming to school regularly is also the same,' Principal Majhi said, 'To study class 11 and 12, one has to walk for 2 hours to Sidyeswari Mavi in ​​Dhamali . Although it is near the birthing center, for other general treatment, one has to walk for 2 hours to reach the health post.

While the school in the village looks beautiful from the outside, there are no buildings, no toilet, no enclosure wall and they are forced to teach in a dilapidated building. Leaders, people's representatives and other stakeholders act as if they don't understand. The pain of this village does not touch them,' he complains.
