Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015
Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Gorkha OSOCC Assessment Cell 09.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiple sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Gorkha, with a population of more than 271,000, is one of the worst-affected districts.1 The epicenter of the earthquake was in Brapok, 15km from Gorkha town. As of 6 May, 412 people have been reported killed and 1,034 injured. In the southern part of the district, food has been provided, but field observations indicate that the food supplied might not be enough for the actual population in the area. Several VDCs in the mountainous areas of Gorkha are yet to be reached by humanitarian assistance. There are no roads in these northern areas, only footpaths. The level of destruction within the district and even within VDCs varies widely, as does the availability of food. A humanitarian hub has been set up at the Chief District Officer’s (CDO) premises in Gorkha town. Reported number of people in need (multiple sources) The figures featured in this map have been collected via multiple sources (district authorities, Red Cross, local NGO, media). Where multiple figures for the same location have been reported the highest one was taken. These figures are indicative and do not represent the overall number of people in need. 1 This is an updated version of the Gorkha District Profile that was published by ACAPS on 1 May 2015. As with other mountain areas of Nepal, Gorkha contains popular locations for foreign trekkers.

The village is located in the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himalaya region of Nepal. Thinking about to bring Internet in a remote village of Nepal in 2001 was like a dream because not a single village in any remote parts of Nepal had telephone and Internet.

Saurav Lamichhane Economic Empowerment of Women in Rural Nepal Through Renewable En- ergy Access Metropolia University of Applied Sciences Bachelor of Engineering Environmental Engineering Bachelor’s Thesis 17 August 2019 Author(s) Saurav Lamichhane Title Economic Empowerment of Women in Rural Nepal through Renewable Energy Access Number of Pages 46 pages + 4 appendices Date 17 August 2019 Degree Bachelor of Engineering Degree Programme Environmental Engineering Specialization option Renewable Energy Instructor(s) Pentti Viluksela, Thesis Supervisor Jiwan Mallik, Project Supervisor This thesis focuses on the socio-economic and electrification status in one of the rural municipalities (RM) of Nepal. The primary data for the research was collected on the field visit to Dharche Municipality in Gorkha District. 10 household surveys were con- ducted and focus group discussion (FGD) was held in two of the wards in the Dharche rural municipality. The Dharche rural municipality is one of the low HDI ranked RM in Nepal with partially electrified status. The project design was based on the premise that lack of access to sustainable, reliable and affordable clean energy services for lighting, cooking, and heating has been result- ing low socio-economic status, among several other reasons. The project also at- tempted to cover the economic growth and opportunities that have been hindered for women empowerment and women’s potential for undertaking various livelihood activi- ties. Furthermore, this thesis studies will foresee the use of energy and energy services as an economic empowerment tool for locals of Dharche RM, especially women.

No.: Kathmandu, Nepal Foreword Nepal has made significant progress in achieving good results in school enrolment by having more children in school over the past decade, in spite of the unstable situation in the country. However, there are still many challenges related to equity when the net enrolment data are disaggregated at the district and school level, which are crucial and cannot be generalized. As per Flash Monitoring Report 2014- 15, the net enrolment rate for girls is high in primary school at 93.6%, it is 59.5% in lower secondary school, 42.5% in secondary school and only 8.1% in higher secondary school, which show that fewer girls complete the full cycle of education.
