Mushars are a so-called low-caste community, who have been given the name “Mushar” because of the fact that they used to maintain their living by catching and eating the rats (local name “Musha”) found in the open field. After the construction of the road connecting East-West highway to Siraha Headquarter, the Mushars were resettled in around 70,000 square feet of land in Sanaitha Village with the help of Mr. Krishna Charan Shrestha (Social Worker) and German Nepalese Help Association (GNHA). During re-settlement, some land was given and small huts were made for them.

In the village school the participation of Mushar children is very low or almost nil in view of the fact that they are not treated well by other so-called upper caste people. Because of which, they also have inferiority complex. After the resettlement, one Mushar teacher had been assigned to teach the Mushar children basic lessons informally (i.e. not through formal schooling procedure) – which is being done under the open sky (i.e. no shelter is available). The teacher's nominal salary was contributed by Late Mr. Krishna Charan Shrestha. Since Baishak 2062 (mid April 2005), ECCA has initiated a package programme (with the support of GNHA) so as to

• Create Better Social Environment
• Enhance the Livelihood
• Develop Infrastructure

As part of the overall programme, teachers were appointed and trained, a school building has been constructed and other software activities are being implemented. The permission for the primary level school (till class 5) has also been obtained from District Education Office, GON in February 2006.

Under the Vastradan programme, wearable cloths collected from different sources were also distributed.
