Actors Sitaram Kattel and Kunjana Ghimire (popularly known as Dhurmus and Suntali) have nearly completed a model integrated village designed for the community and are going to hand over brand new houses to the Musahar families soon.The settlement at Bardibas-2 is the third such project the comedian couple has initiated. But, for the Musahars, it is the first ever incidence in their lives that has made them incredibly happy.

Marani Devi is a century old now – arguably, the oldest one in her community. Marani has hardly spent a day without sticking her eyes to the construction work ever since it started three months ago. No sooner does the sun rise is the sky, than Marani Devi comes out of her hut and sits down on a stool facing the village site. She has been doing this almost every day for the past three months.

“She cannot move around that well nor can she hear or talk properly. However, she loves looking at the construction of those houses. She looks very happy while doing so,” say her grandsons.
The Musahar community is excited as after three days, they will move into their own houses. On the first of Baisakh of the Nepali New Year, the village will be handed over to the community. Once they get in the house, they will no more have to face ‘the brutal rain, sun and cold’ as they had to all these years.
