Background

[edit]

Dasharatchand municipality was established in 1997 at the time, when the government of Nepal established a total of 22 Municipalities.[2] Six VDCs were merged while establishing this municipality. Those VDCs were: Dashrathchanda, Khalanga, Tripurasundari, Thalegada, Jogannath and Barakot.[3] According to the 2011 Nepal census its total population was 17,427 and total area was 55.01 square kilometres (21.24 sq mi). It was divided into 13 wards.[4]

In March 2017, the Government of Nepal restructured all the local level bodies of Nepal into 753 new local level structures.[5][6] The previous Gurukhola, Dehimandau, Durga Bhabani, portion of Durgasthan, Gwallek and Nagarjun VDCs merged to the former Dashrathchanda Municipality and rearranged it into 11 wards. Now total population of the Dashrathchanda Municipality is 34,575 individuals and total area is 135.15 square kilometres (52.18 sq mi).[7]
