Parents are spending the money that comes from scholarship on their
household works.
KHOTANG: Dalit children of Litchkiramche VDC in Khotang stay at home
even after getting scholarship at a local school.

More than 30 children at Ward No. 6 of 13 households are receiving
scholarship without going to school, said Chandi Prasad Sapkota
Principal of Litchiki-based Laxmi Secondary School.

Parents are spending the money that comes from scholarship on their
household works, he said, adding that they were present in the school
at the time of scholarship distribution along their parents.

Lack of awareness about education among children as well as their
parents and due to poverty, children are spending their crucial time
in cutting grass, grazing cattle, fetching fodder and assisting their
parents in other ways.
