Kathmandu, March 27. An interaction was organized today between a visiting Development Professional from Dalit community Mr. Krishna Sob and Dalit acvitists at DNF. The agenda of interaction was how NASO Commuinity at the institutional level and him at the personal level could contribute to the Dalit movement of Nepal in general and forthcoming constituent assembly election and Dalit agenda in particular.

He was apprised of the current political situation of Dalit and their situtation. A deep concern was expressed for not being fully able to utilize the present situation of the country in favour of Dalits. As we all know that this is the golden moment in the Nepalese history to secure the constitutional guarantee for Dalit rights.

Mr. Sob, who currently lives in the United States offered his voluntary services not less than 15 days to contribute in the process by coming to Nepal if needed, which is indeed a great encouragement to all of us.

We have agreed that DNF will do the needful to start process to set the agenda for constituent assembly and Mr. Sob will discuss how best NASO can be instrumental to provide support and bring all Dalit organizations and individuals to bring them on common platform.

The programme was attended by the executives of DNF and Krishnaji himself and lasted for more than 2 hours. Contribution of Krishna Sob towards Dalit movement was acknowledged especially his hardwork to lay the foundation for international organization’ s support on Dalit cause.
