LAHAN, May 26: With the objective of leading underprivileged and marginalized communities toward the path of development and progress, a provincial level Dalit conference kicked off in Lahan on Friday.
Though 'prosperity' has been a common topic of discussion among the government, political parties and stakeholders, nothing concrete has been done to uplift the social and economic status of Dalit communities.
As per the organizers, the discussion of the conference will be centered on the participation of Madhesi Dalits in development works.
