Along with the bordering Udham Singh Nagar, Champawat and Pithoragarh, now the Nepalese districts are also witnessing a rapid demographic change. Shocking facts have come to the fore in the Nepal census released on 26 January. This change has not happened suddenly.

 

In the years between 2012 and 22, the whole equation has changed. The population of Gorkhas has decreased by 18,860. At the same time, the population growth rate of Nepalese districts Kailali and Kanchanpur adjoining India is 1.54 percent higher than that of normal hill districts by 0.93. Similarly, the annual growth rate of Kanchanpur has been recorded at 1.32 percent.

 

According to the Central Statistics Department of Nepal, in 2012 the population of Kailali was 7 lakh 75 thousand 709. Now it has increased to nine lakh 11 thousand 155. That is, a total of one lakh 35 thousand 446 population increased. Similarly, the population of Kanchanpur has increased from four lakh 51 thousand 248 to five lakh 17 thousand 645. The population of this major marginal district has increased by 66 thousand 397 in 10 years.

 

Nepalese exodus, community-specific capture of resources

 

According to security agencies, migration is an important factor in the demographic change in Nepalese districts adjoining India. The natives of Nepal migrated to other cities for work. But a particular community turned to the mountain and took possession of the resources there. In the last ten years, he has made himself so capable that he has started influencing the social, economic, and cultural system as well.

 

Two towns of Pithoragarh are also susceptible

 

Dharchula and Jauljibi, two towns of Pithoragarh, adjacent to China and Nepal, have been kept in the vulnerable category. There has been a major demographic change in these border areas.

 

ISI activity on Nepal border

 

According to security agencies, Pakistani intelligence agency ISI is active in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Bengal via Nepal. In June 2000 also, a warning was issued on the Indo-Nepal border to beware of the fast-growing religious sites. Now the rapid changes in Nepali districts are alarming.
