The study of Dalit students are affected at Siddha Nath Secondary School located at Parshuram Municipality-7 due to the untouchability in Chandani.
The studies of 22 dalit students are affected after non-dalit students do not allow them to even come near.
Dalit students said that the environment to even leave the school is created after the untouchability issue is crated during the tiffin hour.
” Not only tiffin, they do not even drink water together” says Manish Chunar studying at standard nine in the same school.
There is an environment in the school where Dalit students sits separately to eat tiffin during the lunch said Kamala Damai. She added that some of the students even stopped coming to the school due to the discrimination that they are facing.
Principal Gauri Datta Bhattarai of the school said that there is a decreasing trend of Dalit students. He added that school will attempt to make an environment where dalit and non-dalit students can eat lunch together.
