Keeping in mind the discussions and conclusions reached at the previous meeting between the Government Talks Team and the National Badi Rights Struggle Committee, the following agreements were reached at a meeting that was held today 15 October 2007 (2064 Asoj 28), between the two sides at the Ministry of Peace and Reconstruction:
1. The report presented by the secretary-level task force that was formed on 2 October 2007 (2064 Asoj 15) as per the agreement between the two sides, will be agreed to in principle. The use of words such as bhand (those who bring social evil), badeni (female Badi), patar (characterless) [tr. all three words are discriminatory to Badis] etc. should be immediately stopped and provisions should be made to provide citizenship to the entire Badi community. 2. In order to sequentially implement all the points stated in that report, including providing scholarship to children of the Badi community, a Study Task force will be formed under the coordination of gazetted first-class officers, as determined by the Government of Nepal. The said Task force will include official-level representatives from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Ministry of Local Development, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Labour and Transport Management, Ministry of Land Reforms and Management, Ministry of Education and Sports, Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation, Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare and Ministry of Health and Population, and two representatives from the Badi community, including one female representative.
