“SAHAS” Strengthening capacity of earthquake affected families with children to Attain a resilient Society, is a project started at July 2017 in Gorkha district in former two VDCs namely Tanglichok and Bhumlichok. Both are occupied with more number of indigenous and marginalized communities like chepang. Economically the entire populations are poor with main occupation of the villagers is agriculture and livestock farming. It is highly potential area for commercial vegetable production. There is no access of road in rainy season.
