5.1 Educational and Human Resource Development

Education plays a giant role in the social and economic development of any country. It is taken as an indicator of human development. In this regard, the educational status of the sub-metropolitan city is being showcased here. Education is the primary cornerstone of development; it's a universally accepted theory that developing the inherent talents of individuals through education brings positive change to society and the nation. The paramount role of the education sector is essential for creating an aware, disciplined, and productive workforce. In planning, education has been adopted as a policy-level medium for poverty alleviation and all-round human resource development. State policy also aims to develop education as a primary infrastructure of development, making it accessible and effective for all.

Despite grand debates on the constitution and plans, our education sector hasn't seen remarkable development when compared globally. Education must realize the vision of bringing practical changes in knowledge and skills, supporting the marginalized and disadvantaged, and empowering the voiceless to enrich the country. The characteristic of quality education is to help develop leadership capacity, a tireless spirit of teaching and learning, social and human values, and self-confidence. Such education should have an abundance of analytical and original thinking. Quality is more than just prescribed learning. Today, quality education is needed for practical change, faith in labor, life-oriented research, relevance, love for country and culture, moral responsibility, and the use of science in its original form. Through high-quality development in education, people's living standards can be raised through employment opportunities, industrial development, access to facilities, technological expansion, production-oriented agriculture, income-oriented business, and abundant utilization of local resources, which in turn strengthens the sub-metropolitan economy and supports social development.

Article 35 of the Constitution of Nepal has established the right relating to health as a fundamental right. Sub-article 1 mentions that every citizen shall have the right to free basic health services from the State, and no one shall be deprived of emergency health services. As it is the responsibility of the local government to implement this right, it is essential to manage basic health infrastructure and services in the Sub-Metropolitan City.

Due to the accessible geographical condition of this Sub-Metropolitan City, the condition of essential physical and social infrastructure is good. Education, health, poverty, and other indicators appear relatively stronger compared to other local levels of the country. Currently, health services are being provided in the Sub-Metropolitan City through the private sector including Bheri Hospital, Nepalgunj Medical College, along with 12 Urban Health Centers and 11 Health Posts under the Nepalgunj Sub-Metropolitan City.

5.2.2 Immunization and Safe Motherhood

A) Details of Immunization

Children are the builders of the future. For this, it is necessary for them to be healthy and disease-free. In childhood, they must be given BCG once, DPT three times, Measles once, Polio, and Vitamins in prescribed doses. All five vaccines should be given to children regularly and in full doses. The Government of Nepal has placed the National Immunization Program as a high priority. The immunization program is an effective and economical effort in the health sector. The immunization program has significantly helped to reduce the child mortality rate and prevent various diseases. This has helped to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal's target of reducing child mortality (MDG-4).

Vaccines against deadly diseases that can be contracted in childhood and later in life such as Tuberculosis, Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, Tetanus, Hepatitis B, Influenza type B, Polio, Pneumonia, Measles, Rubella and Japanese Encephalitis must be compulsorily administered in a phased manner on time. These vaccines are BCG, DPT, OPV, PCV, IPV, MR, JE / ID respectively. Thus, if vaccines are administered on time, it becomes an effective measure to control child mortality by being free from the risk of major diseases with limited investment.

B) Safe Motherhood Status Details

If children are not cared for and looked after from the time they are in the womb and after birth, they are at risk of being infected with various diseases. While in the womb, the child's health basically depends on the mother's age, nutrition, rest, intake of intoxicating and tobacco substances, etc. For a child to be born healthy, a pregnant woman must have regular health check-ups at least four times and must take the necessary vaccines (T.T.) and iron, vitamin tablets regularly. Since getting pregnant at a young age harms the health of both the mother and the baby, the government has legally set the minimum age for marriage at 20 years. However, 17 percent of teenage girls get pregnant or become mothers between the ages of 15 to 19 (Nepal Demographic and Health Survey, 2011). The government has been consistently conducting community-based programs for safe motherhood and newborn health through the Department of Health Services.

5.2.3 Child Health and Malnutrition

The state of nutrition of any place can be easily estimated by looking at the children of that place. Nourished children can be seen as an indicator of the social and economic development of any place. The government has prioritized nutrition and has been regularly monitoring the child growth of children under 5 years. The Convention on the Rights of the Child, 1989 also mentions that children should be protected from neglect, abandonment, negligence, abuse, and violence, and their right to food and nutrition should be ensured. The Constitution of Nepal (2072) has also placed food sovereignty as a fundamental right. Since health and nutrition are the first important needs of human life and without healthy citizens, other development activities of the nation cannot be effective, public health study becomes an important part of the planning process. In this Sub-Metropolitan City, while effectively monitoring the child nutrition allowance provided by the Government of Nepal based on national policy and programs to bring improvement in nutrition, arrangements have been made to improve the nutrition of children, along with running programs like the Multi-Sectoral Nutrition Plan taking lessons from the past to bring effective improvements in nutrition. Apart from this, national and international organizations are also working to carry out health and nutrition-related works.

5.2.5 Safe Motherhood

A) Family Planning

From studies done by various organizations indicating benefits of family planning, it has been proven that it plays a significant role in improving the health of mothers, children, and newborns. In addition, it helps to promote gender equality, women's education, and growth development. Therefore, with the aim of providing quality family planning services, the reproductive health program and family planning program have been expanded since 1991 to hospitals, health posts, primary health centers, and urban clinics, providing services through female health volunteers. Currently, the details of users of family planning devices within the Sub-Metropolitan City are included in the table below.

Out of the total 72,637 children born alive in the last 12 months by women in the 15 to 49 age group in the Sub-Metropolitan City, 70,730 children are currently alive. Similarly, the number of children who died during the same period is 1,907, the detailed breakdown of which by sex is presented in the table.

C) Details of women's age at first childbirth

From legal and reproductive health perspectives, becoming a mother at the age of 20 or under is considered illegal and risky for the health of both mother and child. On one hand, physical, mental, and financially immature conception and childbirth carry a high risk of giving birth to an immature, low birth weight, physically and intellectually handicapped child, while on the hand, without adequate knowledge about antenatal care, maternal and child care, nutrition, and hygiene, there is a possibility that mother and child may fall victim to various types of infections. Nepal has achieved significant progress in the field of maternal and child health between the Millennium Development Goals 2000-2015. Taking 1990 as the base year, 108 out of every 1000 live births died in Nepal, and this number has substantially declined to 33 by 2015, while the under-5 child mortality rate (per thousand) has dropped to 38. Similarly, considering 1990 as the base year, maternal mortality (per hundred thousand) was 850, which appears to have dropped to 258 by 2015, while data shows the proportion of women receiving deliveries from trained health workers reached 55.6 percent. Overall, signs of positive impact in the area of maternal and child health are appearing in the municipality.

Clean water and sanitation are major factors affecting human health and Sustainable Development Goal 6 aims to ensure safe drinking water and sanitation. Furthermore, the Constitution of Nepal has recognized drinking water and sanitation as fundamental rights of citizens. Therefore, to contribute towards producing healthy citizens, high priority should be given to constructing additional drinking water projects and scientific methods should be used for solid waste management.

According to Sustainable Development Goals Status & Roadmap: 2016-2030 (SDG-6), taking 2015 as the base year, only 15 percent of the population is seen consuming safe drinking water. According to this document, which also includes the sustainable development goal monitoring framework, this population is expected to increase gradually. Accordingly, an ambitious target has been set to reach 35 percent in 2019, 50 percent in 2022, 65 percent in 2025, and 90 percent of the total population consuming safe drinking water by 2030. To support achieving the national target and to improve the public health of the general public, there is a need to spread widespread public awareness about checking the suitability of water and safety measures while using water.

5.3.2 Toilet Usage Status

Even now, in some remote town settlements, people defecate in water sources and open places. For a civilized society, this practice is a symbol of incivility. Defecation in open areas leads to the entry of germs into the human body through food, water, and respiration. Therefore, the construction of a toilet in every household is a mandatory requirement. Currently, the government and various non-governmental organizations are seen to have given priority to toilet construction. Private houses and public places must have mandatory toilets along with handwashing water. In case poor community families cannot construct toilets themselves, the government, especially the local government, should provide subsidies for toilet construction.

5.3.3 Public Toilet Details

Private houses and public places must have a toilet along with handwashing water. In case poor community families cannot construct a toilet themselves, the local government should provide a subsidy for toilet construction. To make the house courtyards, roads, markets and public areas of this Sub-Metropolitan City clean, public toilets have been constructed in various places. To keep public toilets clean, the Tole Health Committee and the Sub-Metropolitan City must play an important role. By charging some fee for using the public toilet, the expenses for cleanliness and management of the toilets can be covered, and along with this, house courtyards, markets, and roads remain clean, which can also provide some contribution to the revenue of the Sub-Metropolitan City. The details of an adequate number of public toilets in this Sub-Metropolitan City are mentioned in the table.

5.3.4 Waste Management Household Details

Especially in urban areas and market centers where population density is high, the waste generated by humans, industries and factories not only disfigures the beauty of the settlement but also has a negative impact on public health. In such a situation, the waste management system must be addressed in a long-term manner by both the government and the community. Understanding that waste harms both health and beauty, proper management of waste is necessary. Organic compost can also be made from some degradable waste. Although the Sub-Metropolitan City has not systematically initiated waste management work, locals have been managing degradable and non-degradable waste in a traditional way.

Problems seen in waste management:

Currently the problems seen in this Sub-Metropolitan City are as follows:

In the name of waste management, the tendency of uncontrollably throwing waste in the lower parts of rivers and rivulets is seen everywhere. Waste thrown in this way is washed away by water during rains and taken down to the lower parts of rivers and rivulets, expanding the pollution.

Since the lower parts of the land are also water sources and the exact same water appears on the surface and seeps inside the ground, the waste thrown in the lower parts pollutes both the surface water and the groundwater.

Things to consider in solid waste management:

Separating the waste coming out of the kitchen into degradable and non-degradable.

The Sub-Metropolitan City should conduct programs to provide training for using degradables as compost and to motivate every house owner.

Re-sorting the non-degradable waste at different levels like wood, plastic, metal, glass. After identifying these wastes as per necessity, emphasizing towards related service management for those who can be reused. Managing to sort scientifically in the open spaces of this Sub-Metropolitan City area where there is no water source.

5.3.5 Drainage and Landfill Status

In city market centers and areas with integrated settlements, there must be good management of sewerage. Drainage is also a significant infrastructure of physical development. If drainage management is done along with road construction, the government is saved from double expenditure incurred in infrastructure development.
