21-year-old Kshitij Rai from Mechinagar Municipality-3, who is totally disabled, received the citizenship certificate at home on Friday. Kshitij received the citizenship certificate after the district administration office conducted a campaign to make citizenship by visiting the homes of people with disabilities.

Kshitij Rai was sitting in a bamboo grove when Assistant Chief District Officer Bishwaraj Nepal arrived home to grant citizenship with local people's representatives. Since his father and mother were not at home and had to be carried from one place to another, the citizenship certificate could not be made.

Born in Mechinagar-3 Dokan Danda in the year 2060, since the day he found out that he is disabled, his father has disappeared from home and his mother has not returned from foreign employment for a long time, said Debu Baniyan, a neighboring teacher of Kshitij. He had been trying to get citizenship for the past five years.

'After her mother went abroad and her father passed away, Mavali's grandfather and grandmother were taking care of Kshitij,' says Baniyan, a teacher who took the initiative for citizenship.

Meena Upreti, deputy head of Mechinagar municipality, who became a citizen late, tells. Based on the citizenship, now Kshitij will get a monthly social security allowance from the government. Even his grandfather Kumar Subba used to feed him in muda. 

'Citizenship is his natural right,' Assistant Prazia Nepal said, 'We identified the right person who could not come to the administration and completed the necessary process with the help of the local people's representatives and completed the citizenship at home.'
