Manjudevi Ram of Khadga Municipality-11 Nankar is 35 years old. She got married at the age of 16 and has 7 daughters. Husband Tuntun Ram is in Qatar for foreign employment. Manju's last two years were stressful as her 17-year-old daughter Pooja and 15-year-old Santoshi had to drop out. The only reason for dropping out was that they did not have a birth certificate.

Along with the daily nagging of Manju to get her daughters to make a birth certificate at home, there was also the shock of going to the ward office to find that the document did not arrive.

Only when her husband Tuntun sent money from Qatar did Manju know that she needed citizenship. Due to Manju's lack of citizenship, Tuntun had to send money in the name of others. After that, Manju got citizenship after 20 years of marriage. This is the legal loophole that the ward office is holding and refusing to give birth registration to his 7 daughters. 

"The ward office refused to give me a birth certificate saying that two daughters were born before I became a citizen," Manjudevi said, "My daughters were studying at home, and they used to ask me to make a birth certificate". Despite all efforts, the birth registration was not made. Stayed at home disappointed.'

Manju's second daughter, Santoshi, who is studying in Class 8 at Saptari Dakneswari's Heera Mavi, was asked for a birth certificate for registration two years ago. She returned home after school and told her mother Manjudevi that "Sir has requested for birth certificate".

After leaving school, Manju reached the ward office of Shambhunath Municipality-5 in Saptari. When Manjudevi gave her citizenship for birth registration, two daughters Pooja and Santoshi were born before citizenship, so the ward office hesitated to make birth registration.

'Because I got married at a young age, my two daughters were born before I was 20 years old . "Marriage registration will be done in 20 years," said Manjudevi, "daughters are deprived of birth registration." He gave up on everything, spent two years under stress. Santoshi was haunted by the memory of school. "Sometimes I used to go to school with my friends," said Santoshi, "but sir, he would send me back saying that if I don't have a birth certificate, there will be problems in my studies." I used to come and tell my mother . I didn't eat food . I had to read . There was no birth certificate.' 

Save the Children keeps data on children in Khadg and Surunga municipalities of Saptari in collaboration with Saval Nepal. According to Niranjan Yadav, the official of Saval Nepal, the initiative was started after it was found that many children were deprived of education due to birth registration.

'Many documents requested . Locals did not agree to land. Yadav said that the birth registration of all seven daughters of Manjudevi could be made in three lots. Manjudevi's eldest daughter Pooja has studied only up to class 5. She now helps her mother in household work . He wants to get employment after getting skilled training. 

'I got married at a young age, I raised my daughters by suffering,' said Manjudevi, 'I will not marry before reaching 20 years of worship.' Manjudevi's daughter Santoshi was studying in class 8, but her studies were stopped for two years due to birth registration. After getting the birth certificate, Santoshi happily went to school and said, 'Sir, Leah Hamar birth certificate.'

Santoshi has started studying again in class 8. Manjudevi's elder daughter Kalpana Ram, aged 14, is studying in class 6, elder daughter Mamta Ram, aged 8, is studying in class 4, Shivani Ram, aged 6, is studying in class 2, Rani Ram, the eldest, is 5, and Tanukumari Ram, is 4, is studying in class 1. ;.
