Introduction of the training:
Nuwakot district is only 60 kms away from Kathmandu valley. Although geographically it is not so far, economically, socially and politically it could not become like Kathmandu valley. In the struggle for democracy, Nuwakot district has also played an important role. There was no phone service in Nuwakot, after democracy Nuwakot had CDAMA (phone) service. And mobile phone has also started. Due to the development of communication people have become happy.  But due to lack of education people have been deprived of opportunities.

Belkot VDC in Nuwakot district is a place of natural beauty where planning for development has just started. Belkot VDC lies in Pasang Lamu high way. This VDC is very back in the field of education. Only 4 years earlier a high school was established there. In that village corruption stills exist. The influential people make the rules and regulations there. In 2056 BS, Kalawati club was established there. Group of students made this club by being a regular listener of radio and setting an example to the society that by listening to the programs we can change our society. Listening to Radio Nepal and hearing news, informative programs, development programs, and being influenced by them and trying to bring change in their own village was at first a changeling work. But when the students worked for the welfare of the people then the people started to believe them. Hearing programs like Human Rights, Dalit Rights, Law against Corruption, the students have thought that they should do something in theses issues in their village as well.

Likewise, in the year 2062, Kartik 22, in Bidur, Idea Action had organized an interaction program on the topic, the role of youths on the Establishment of Peace and ending of Violence. In that program there were the district officer, local development officer, district police and representatives from the district’s government, non-government organization and youth clubs. This program was mainly useful to bring knowledge and awareness in the youths.   

Along with the program, there was a singing ceremony for peace. Kailawati youth club of Belkot-7 had organized a training program with the intension of brining enthusiasm and motivation in the youths so that there is smooth and sincere running of administrative and human rights followed.

Aim of the training:
Training as such at all level is very useful because it bring changes in thinking, way of approach, and behavior and motivation in a person. The main aim of this training is to outline the roll of the youth in the mass changes that is taking place in the country at present. We can outline the aim as follows:

1. To give responsibility and bring awareness about the nation in the youth.

2. To make the youths feel from inside why they have left the house, family and society. What is the reason for their mobilization? He should ask himself “what can I do for the Nation and how important is he for the Country?”

3. How can the youth be mobilized and motivated in the days to come so that they can teach good culture and meet people who are holding different post at different levels. For example; chairperson of village committee, vice chairperson, chairperson of the wards, college teachers, health workers, and agriculture specialist.

4. Youths should make sure that the administration runs smoothly and efficiently. They should meet people who are in the government service and taking government facility. They should make sure that no bribing is taking place.

5. The youth should know “What is Human Right?”. What happens when human rights are violated? What are the things in people’s fundamental rights? How can the land are properly utilized.

6. The youth should be able to give knowledge about casts, untouchables, and make sure this society is free from nonsense.

7. The youth should be able to convince the local people that any quarrels, misunderstanding which occurs in the village and community should be solved by the locals themselves.

8. One should be able to educate people and let them know in simple terms what constitutional assembly is and what would be their roll in this issue.

9.  There should be a feeling as how much one can contribute to the society? The society should be free of terror, humiliation and peace should be established.

10. A civil society committee should be formed who can supervise different activities. Eg; Human rights, good governance and illegal activities and so on.
