    National Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and Untouchability

    जातीय भेदभाव तथा छुवाछुत उन्मुलन राष्ट्रिय दिवस

    Exclusive audio

    This day has been celebrated since 2068 BS in remembrance of the declaration of Nepal as an untouchability-free nation by the Parliament on 21 Jestha 2063 BS.


    What was the Nepali legal system against untouchability before 2063 BS?

    The King Mahendra Bir Bikram Shah Dev had brought a law (Muluki Ain) against untouchability and discrimination, although due to the lack of effective implementation of the law, caste discrimination was still practiced.The 2025 theme of the International Day is “60th anniversary of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms Racial of Discrimination (ICERD)

    Do you think untouchability and caste discrimination still exist in Nepal today?

    What is meant by untouchability and discrimination?
    Untouchability and discrimination are when a person does or is done based on customs, traditions, religion, culture, customs, origin, caste, caste, descent, community, profession, occupation, or physical condition.

    What is the provision of the Constitution of Nepal 2072 against caste discrimination?
    Article 24 of the Constitution of Nepal 2072 BS has ensured the right against untouchability and discrimination as a fundamental right. If found untouchable and discriminated against, there is a provision of imprisonment for 3 years or a fine of Rs. 1 thousand to 25 thousand. In addition, the National Dalit Commission has also been recognized as a constitutional body.

    It is punishable for any individual, society, government, or group to discriminate against anyone based on caste and to infringe upon their dignity. Let's contemplate this notion as we interact with others.

    Stop attacks on children

    It is a sad reality that in situations where armed conflict breaks out, it is the most vulnerable members of societies – namely children, who are most affected by the consequences of war. The six most common violations are recruitment and use of children in war, killing, sexual violence, abduction, attacks on schools and hospitals, and denial of humanitarian access.


    On 19 August 1982, at its emergency special session on the question of Palestine, the General Assembly, “appalled at the great number of innocent Palestinian and Lebanese children victims of Israel’s acts of aggression”, decided to commemorate 4 June of each year as the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression.

    The purpose of the day is to acknowledge the pain suffered by children throughout the world who are the victims of physical, mental, and emotional abuse. This day affirms the UN's commitment to protecting the rights of children. Its work is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the most rapidly and widely ratified international human rights treaty in history.

    Hamro Patro - Connecting Nepali Communities
    Hamro Patro is one of the first Nepali app to include Nepali Patro, launched in 2010. We started with a Nepali Calendar mobile app to help Nepalese living abroad stay in touch with Nepalese festivals and important dates in Nepali calendar year. Later on, to cater to the people who couldn’t type in Nepali using fonts like Preeti, Ganesh and even Nepali Unicode, we built nepali mobile keyboard called Hamro Nepali keyboard.
