Duradanda Village development committee in Gandaki Zone, Nepal

Duradanda is one of the mid-hills in Lamjung District. Lamjung is one of districts in Gandaki in central Nepal. Duradanda used to have former six village development committees (VDCs) namely Chandreshwor, Duradanda, Dhuseni, Ishaneshwor, Neta, and Purankot. The new constitution has restructured the local bodies and these VDCs are formally non-existent. The name 'Duradanda' is composed of two terms: Dura= historical Dura tribes + danda= hill in Nepali. Duras inhabited this place from the historical times and were important political game players in the past, especially when Nepal was fragmented into 22–24 Kingdoms, known as Bayise Chaubisi rajyas. Duradanda is considered to be the place of origin of the 'Dura' tribe. Duras have their own language and culture but are being forgotten because of an increasing influence from other cultures. Dura language, in fact, is no longer in use as the tribe uses the Nepali language. Only old generations knows the language, and not many people of this generation are alive at this time. Thus, Dura language is in danger of being lost completely. Apart from Duras, Duradanda is also known for famous historical movements called 'Halo Kranti ' and 'Siksha Kranti '. Sarvodaya High School was one of the oldest school in the entire region of Central Nepal. Thus, people from very far places used to come to Duradanda for formal school education from Sarvodaya High School. At that time, young people who wanted to come here seeking school education from far villages used to say: "Duradanda kei chhaina tadha, janchhu ma ta sikshya ko khojima" meaning that "Duradanda is no longer far and I want to go there seeking my education". There were no hostels, so the youngesters used to live as guests in locals' houses, preferably relatives. In return, they had to bring commodities or to provide labor services for household and/or farm works.
