 Nijgadh, Bara – A four-day "Capacity Building Orientation Program" aimed at providing legal knowledge to Dalit women has commenced in Nijgadh. The initiative, funded by the Nijgadh Municipality Executive's targeted fund, began on Saturday, May 31st, and is being held at the assembly hall of the Baghbhairav Community Forest Group in Nijgadh-4.
