A dozen houses have collapsed in Gaihragaon in Kalimati, which is reached after an hour and a half journey from the headquarters Baglung. Others are dilapidated. There are more than 40 houses where people have stopped living. A concrete house has been built in the middle of it. But that house is also surrounded by weeds.
The ruined house belongs to anti-discrimination activist Bhagat Sarvajit Vishwakarma. His children have also passed away. But the neighbors have also left the house . But the work started by the social leaders to preserve Bhagat's house, build a museum and run the Bhagat Sarvajit Vishwakarma Foundation is also stalled.
Even the house of the foundation built 6 years ago is now covered with weeds. The house, built at the cost of 20 lakhs of Gandaki provincial government and Baglung municipality, has now fallen into disrepair. The goal of the museum to be built here has also been destroyed.
Also, the plan to make a half-length statue of Bhagat Sarvajit Vishwakarma has also been shelved. The officers of the foundation formed in the name of Vishwakarma live in the capital. They have built a house there . The village has become deserted because it has left. Therefore, the work of the establishment has also been stalled.
'Those who live in Kathmandu must have earned money there, they did not come back here, even the houses they built have become a forest,' said Harkman Bik, a local, 'If the establishment and museum were to be built, even the deserted village would become something to live in.' is also being made . There is also a school and a health post nearby. But since all the non-villagers have migrated, some have gone to the capital and some have gone to the capital, so there is no one to work for the schemes being implemented here . President of
Foundation Ramakrishna Sunar, Senior Vice President Hom Bahadur Sunar, Vice President La Bahadur Sunar are also in Kathmandu. Secretary Parshuram Sunar is living in the headquarters doing gold and silver business . Other officers and members are also in the profession.
'The goal is to keep the institution in its own house, to build a museum, to carve a statue of Bhagat and to make it a tourist destination,' said Secretary Parasuram Sunar He said that he could not even call a meeting and gathering to search.
Vishwakarma, who was born in Gaihra village of Kalimati in 1950, was the founder of the campaign against caste discrimination. Everyone supported his campaign as he studied Sanskrit, Vedas and Puranas and made them work according to their meaning. Bhagat passed away in the year 2012 after
. The school was started in 2007 with Hikmat Singh, Laxminarayan Vishwakarma, Manveer Vishwakarma and Ram Sharan Vishwakarma and has been operating since 2009. The name of the school is also 'Vishwakarma Mavi'.
When fighting against discrimination, the ruler of the state destroyed his house and shed. Vishwakarma was jailed for 17 months by the then ruler on the charge of usurping the throne. There is a history that Vishwakarma was released from jail after he got a chance to put his real demand before Mr. 3 Mohan Shamsher Rana .
After reaching India and returning after studying, in 1997 Vishwakarma also opened an organization called 'Vishwa Sarvajan Sangh'. Institutionally, he led to eliminate labor exploitation and oppression of the Dalit community for economic advancement. He raised the voice of getting cash instead of jinsi to modify Balighare custom. It is a history that farmers started to get wages with his voice .
Locals are proud of naming the school after Vishwakarma. "We are proud when a school is opened in the name of Vishwakarma" teacher Pashupati Sharma said, "He opened this school when education was not developed". Jagannath Acharya, a local social leader, commented that it is sad that the foundation and plan of Vishwakarma's name has come to a standstill. 'Vishwakarma is not only of a special caste, but a national Vibhuti ,' said Acharya, 'if the foundation does not work, the municipality should intervene and complete the plan and make good use of the property.' Said that the work has stopped . "We are going to the village after some time," he said, "then we will sit and clean and start new work." Every year, the municipality is also managing the budget for the establishment. Baglung municipality has also created a scholarship fund in the name of Vishwakarma. Meghnath Gayre, Chairman of Baglung Municipality Ward No. 7, said that the budget of some schemes will be returned after the establishment is not active. "This year too, we have allocated 500,000, but the officials of the committee and the establishment are not in contact," he said, "the government property has been embezzled due to the neglect of the official." ;
