About Tarakeshwar Municipality

Tarakeshwar municipality is in the northwest part of Kathmandu District. The municipality is named after a popular Tarakeshwar temple in same the area. The municipality was formed by merging former Village development committees Dharmasthali, Futung, Goldhunga, Jitpurphedi, Kavresthali, Manmaiju , and Sangla.

Geographical location, Latitude: 270 N and Longitude: 850. The Tarakeshwar municipality is 3 to 10 KM distance from the Kathmandu Metropolis. The head office of the municipality is located at Dharmasthali. The Northwest part of Tarakeshwar is bordered by Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park.

Geography of Tarakeshwar Municipality

The municipality covers an area of 34.9 sq. KM with a population of 151,459 in 2021.

Brahmin-Hill, Chettri, Tamang, Newa, and Magar are the major ethnicities living in the municipality. The municipality is popular due to its natural beauty and religious and spiritual places.

Native of Tarakeshwar Municipality

The main occupations of the dwellers are agriculture produces and services. Though Tarakeshwar is close to Kathmandu city, most of the population in rural areas still lack basic needs. The land for building homes is not available in the capital city of Kathmandu. So people are buying land on the outskirts and are constructing houses rapidly. This results in the area being urbanized.

Volunteers Initiative Nepal has been actively working especially Jitpurphedi, Kavresthali, Dharmasthali, and Goldhunga of Tarakeshwar municipality. VIN started implementing projects from Jitpurphedi (ward # 3) in 2006. VIN extended its projects to Kavresthali (ward # 2) in 2016 and Goldhunga in 2018. When VIN started implementing community empowerment projects in Jitpurphedi, the area was far behind on the human index in areas like health, education, and sanitation.

What do we do at Tarakeshwar Municipality?

VIN uses a holistic model of community empowerment. We address the need for education, health & environment, economy, and basic infrastructure development by executing Women’s Empowerment, Children’s Development, Youth Empowerment, Public Health and Medical Care, and Disaster Risk Reduction.

Volunteering with VIN was an incredibly experience! I spent an amazing 2 weeks working in 4 schools teaching about disasters and preparedness while enhancing the childrens english. Everyone I met was so lovely and helpful enciting me into their culture. While in Okhaldhunga I got to see multiple festivals including Gai Jatra and Teej, which was unforgettable and really made my time in Nepal. I'm so glad VIN allowed me to see the beautiful sights and culture if Nepal and I wish to come back soon!

Well, I was that lucky one who got an opportunity to work with VIN (Volunteer Initiative Nepal) as a local volunteer. It was the best part of my entire life till. During my time volunteering (about 3 months), I gained valuable skills like project management , community outreach. This experience also contributed my personal growth by enhancing my leadership abilities and improving my communication skills.Thank you VIN 🥰❣️I recommend all my other friends who are pursuing to do community work and who have commitments to do it, do visit VIN.
