As we know ,Chepangs are one of the most deprived, disadvantaged and backward indigenous ethnic communities of Nepal, it is essential that they have to be given good opportunity of education to uplift their life standard.
Considering this Chepang School had been established in cooperation with Little Flower Society, Nepal.


The school was established six years ago by a team of Catholic missionaries led by Father Michael Chirayath on a rented building at Jaimangal in Ratnanagar Municipality-13.
The missionaries’ aim was to impart free education to the Chepang children.
Built with a cost of around Rs 20 million, the new school building has 27 rooms. It will be the new learning centre for the Chepang children.
