I want to make Lalitpur a historically liveable city

I am Chiri Babu Maharjan. In Newari, Chiri Babu means the youngest son. This is the organic name. Because my elder brother's name is Tari Babu, which means 'elder son' in the Newari language. We are from indigenous farmer families in the valley. I finished my education in government schools. We began working and studying together after successfully completing secondary school in 1975. I studied ICom at the Public Youth Campus, BCom at the Patan Campus, and MCom at Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur. I have been involved in sociopolitical activism since I was in grade ten.

We were also involved in a variety of social activities. There were more visible temples, statutes, and structures than households, as well as images of deities, but that has all changed due to rapid urbanisation. Until the mid-1975s, such scenarios existed. But that is not the case now. Economically, it was a bad situation. We had a really hard time. Nonetheless, we accomplished something positive. It was not an easy life. The locals of Lalitpur were primarily based on agriculture. We had plenty of fertile land. The irony is that concrete structures occupy the majority of the area now.
