The nepaldalitinfo special report

Ottawa, August 19- Canada Forum for Nepal (CFFN), an Ottawa based organization, has initiated a web-based radio program run by Nepali youth in Ottawa to educate children and youth in rural areas of Nepal. The most part of its maiden radio webcast covered problems of caste discrimination and issues around dalit rights in Nepal. In particular, the webcast of the radio program included Yua Sansar’s interview with Dr. Pramod Dhakal, the Executive Director of CFFN for a briefing on the Dalit issues discussed during the recent NASO Community Convention held in American University, Washington DC, followed by a positive debate among youth participating in a group discussion on the dalit issues.

Although most of the youth running the program are from so-called upper castes, the views they expressed in the program during discussion on dalit issues were quite out of ordinary. To listen the radio program discussing dalit rights,

The nepaldalitinfo expresses its solidarity with bright and forward looking group of youth in Ottawa and CFFN for bringing out an innovate way of disseminating postive education to rural youth in Nepal from distant radio-webcasting, that will go a long way in contributing towards formation of an egalitarian society in Nepal.

The CFFN is advocating restructuring of state for a federal democratic, all inclusive, and equitable governance in the new era of Nepal.
