It is not able to reduce total women's drudgery but again reducing in some level and also minimizing the social conflict related to water. In the hill areas most of the settlements are located on the hilltop. Where the water supply is very unreliable and also suffering from the seasonal water scarcity. Availability of water in RHS is supporting users to improve the quality of life from different aspects and contributing to MDG too. Main objectives of this study is to assess the socio-economic, health-sanitation and educational impacts of Ashden Domestic RHS Project of BSP-Nepal. Random sampling method has been selected for the individual questionnaire survey for this study. Both the quantitative and qualitative data has been collected for this study.

Here are various kinds of castes and races of people. They have different type of customs, culture and traditions. These cultures, traditions and customs are the recognition of our country. Among various castes and races of people, Kumals are one of them. In Tanahun district, Bhimad VDC there are 60 households in Ward No 1 whereas there are twenty household in Ward No 7. I have studied the Socio- Culture and Economic Status of these areas. In addition to these I have studied their Educational Status and their relation with other people. The present study focuses on the changing socio-cultural and economy condition of Kumal and factors responsible for it. The Kumal or ethnic group is least studied group by native and foreign sociologist. The way of worshipping their village deities, believe in spirits, typical dress pattern and cluster types of settlement pattern distinctly differ from other ethnic groups. On one hand, due to the domination of “High Castes’ Kumals are loosing their native culture, philosophy of life style, self confidence about their own traditions, language and beliefs. But on the other hand, due to the domination of “High Castes” Some significant changes are seen in education, health sector, sanitation, economic activities ands way life style of Kumal community in Bhimad VDC. This thesis is divided into six chapters. In the first chapter, I’ve included Background, Study Area, Objectives of the Study, and the Importance of the Study Area and its Limitation of the Study Area. In the background, general introduction of Kumal, is shortly sketched. Although, most of the Nepalese are the generation of Aryans but we have a lot of variation. Why such differences are there? Why Kumals are backward, uneducated and poor? Such types of questions are included here: for this I’ve noted the following objectives. Similarly, in chapter two, I’ve given the place for Literature Review. In Literature Review, I’ve enlisted briefly post reading literature as well as present study of Kumal. I have mentioned different models of theory such as Dependence Theory, World System Theory, Gender Perspective, Modernization and Sanskritiziation. In this study, I’ve included conceptual frame work as well as theoretical framework. Moreover, this study is linked mostly with Marxist view. The third chapter enlightens about the method of the thesis how descriptive and explanatory model in data collection is used. The main sub- titles are research design, sampling census, nature and source of data collection, data collection technique, household survey, key-informant interview and group discussion. I’ve used census method as I’ve taken 80 households. In data collection I’ve implemented primary and secondary data. For questionnaires, I visited their door to door for getting actual and reliable information and data. In chapter four, I’ve entitled setting of the study area. In this chapter, there are many subtitles such as physical feature of the study area, climate and weather, the economy, agriculture, natural resources, settlement pattern, physical appearance, dress and ornaments, food, habit, division of labor, language and, socio culture feature and so many concerning patterns are included. In the fifth chapter, I have set data analysis and presentation. I’ve included here about 27 tables, bar diagram as well as pie charts. These tables, diagrams, and pie charts make easy to understand the data. The data are of different subjects such as age of Kumals, education status of Kumals, their house types and sanitation, household applicants, food production, their occupational status, foreign going records, different types of marriage they prefer, their yearly income and expenditure and so many concerning subtitles are purposed here. Through quick look on the table we actually understand the economy, the education and social status of Kumal community of this area.

All of the 200 households have been used for the primary data collection. Secondary data has been collected from different journal and publications. The major findings of this research are: The family structure of Dhimal people is being transformed from joint and expanded family to nuclear family with the modernity. Before a time, Dhimal people engaged in agriculture as well as fishing and hunting but now the trend is changed. They are interested and devoted to recruit in non-agricultural sector such foreign employment, police, army, teaching and other services which give the monthly salary. The proportion of Dhimal people enrollment is decreased with the increment of level of education. The rate of reduction with each upper level of education is comparatively higher of females than males that indicate the less favorable condition to gain education achievement for the females in the Dhimal Community. Hence, they are socially and economically backward and distress than males and they are compelled to limit only at home. The trend of changing religion has been increased in Dhimal community; they are adopting Christian religion due to the lower level of economic status and lack of knowledge. Dhimal people are being landless day by day due to spent money to celebrate their festivals i.e. unproductive sector. Socially, economically and politically Dhimal people are poor and distress. They are deprived from so many facilities due to their simple and honest character as well as the poor social and economic status.
