About 80 percent of the populations in this area are of Tamang ethnicity and are in a vulnerable situation. The standard of education is poor. Most of the parents belong to lower economic group and lack money to invest in pay for their children's education,” However the Pasang Lhamu Highway between Nuwakot and Kathmandu has been opening new avenues of opportunities for trade and business for local people. At present, domestic tourism is slowly flourishing there and local products are gaining local market. However, at the same time, the rapid development of urbanization and land plotting has threatened to create ecological problem and threating the conservation of natural resources.
