The caste system exists in every country around the world, maybe not like in Nepal but in one way oranother. The existence of superiority and inferiority due to skin color, religion, economic status, and socialstatus is seen all over the world.

Dalits are found in all the seventy-five districts of Nepal and their population is 2,341,030. Dalits arereligiously discarded, socially oppressed, economically exploited, politically suppressed and educationallydeprived. Due to all these reason, they remain backward and far from modern development initiatives. The study is based on both descriptive and exploratory methods. Both primary and secondary data have been used in the study. Primary data have been collected using households survey, interview, observationand focus group discussion.

After analyzing the data, poverty, education, culture, self-consciousness, leadership quality, discriminatorypractice and gender balance are concluded as the socio-economic issues of the Dalits in the study area. Dalits does not have proper knowledge about their health and sanitation due to the lack of education andawareness. They still have old beliefs, tradition, values and go blindly with superstition. Literacy rate is verypoor among the Dalits population. They do not know the importance of education.

Finally, it can be concluded that the socio-economic condition of Dalits is not satisfactory because of illiteracy, poverty, low level of awareness, lack of self consciousness, discrimination and lack of leadership quality. However, awareness level is increasing among the Dalits.Item Socio-economic Status of Kumal Community (A Case Study of Putalibazar Municipality,Syangja District)(Department of Rural Development, 2009-02) Poudel, Durga PrasadNepal is one of the poorest countries in terms of economical condition butvery rich in terms of caste, language, culture, traditional and bio-diversity.
