The stratified and simple random sampling methods were applied to select 50 households form the universe including 25 households of the Brahmins and so on. The data have been collected from the selected households through questionnaire. Questionnaire consisted of 2 sets of both objective and subjective questions. The data have been presented through tables, graphs and percentage. The main findings of the study was that the Brahmins had higher social, cultural and economic status in comparison to Sarkis because of various reasons such as lack of education, traditional system of farming, burden of loan, lack of health awareness and facilities, lack of women participation and social backwardness. I have recommended that the government of Nepal should develop policy to run awareness programs to eradicate untouchabality, uplift the social, cultural and economic status of Sarkis. Similarly, NGOs and INGOs should create and run social awareness projects and provide opportunities of income generating activities to the Sarki community. Likewise, the Government of Nepal should provide debt to the youths of Sarkis for foreign employment without any interest.Item Role of Tourism in Livelihood Pattern of the People living in Lete V.D.C., Mustang(Faculty of Sociology, 2017) Shrestha, Harka LalThis study aims to examine theRole ofTourism in Livelihood Pattern of the PeopleLiving in Lete V.D.C., Mustang with the aim of exploring tourism impacts onpeople's economy and Social life.
