“…However, the study was carried out in 1994 just four years after the establishment of representative multi-party democracy under the constitutional monarchy so there was no scope for comparison between the Panchayat and post-Panchayat eras. The study by Bhattachan (1994) also suffers from a similar shortcoming, though it does describe several lagging development issues from the Panchayat system.…”

A widespread perception among the Nepalese people is that Nepal was in a better position in terms of development during the party-less Panchayat political system under the absolute monarchy from 1960 to 1990 than in the post-Panchayat democratic period after 1990. This article presents a comparative study of major development indexes during the Panchayat and post-Panchayat periods and aims to clarify the origins and reality of this perception. Data were obtained and analyzed using secondary global sources such as UNICEF, UNFPA, UNESCO, Education Statistics, World Bank, etc. Further comparison is made with corresponding Indian indexes for a better assessment of development after the emergence of globalization. The comparison shows that, contrary to the common perception, Nepal is in a much better development position in most of the indexes in the post-Panchayat democratic period.

“…In earlier days, Santhal people used to collect medicines from the nearby forests but nowadays it has become difficult to get medicinal plants due to extensive deforestation and a lack of willingness to practice traditional health care systems among the new generation. 3 Health Seeking Behavior also includes the perception of the cause of disease. This perception always leads to treatment-seeking behavior among the Santhal people.…”

The proportion of Santhal population compared to the previous census report is continuously declining because of marginalization and migration to India.

The research work was undertaken in two Village Development Committees (VDCs) and two wards from each VDC by using simple random sampling. A total of 382 households were selected as respondents to the study. A Santhal graduate and three more interviewers were trained for data collection. The research was funded by Purbanchal University, Research Division. Approval for data collection was taken from the Research Division of Purbanchal University and permission for data collection was taken from the concerned VDC authority. Results: The study found that 84.8% had a poor level of knowledge of health-seeking behavior, very few that is 1.7 % of respondents visited traditional healers whereas 92.9% of Santhal people had a positive perception of modern medical treatment. The majority of respondents (97.4%) took medicine when they got sick, among them 46.5% got the medicine from a primary health care center. Conclusion: The majority of Santhal people visit healthcare settings when they become ill. Regarding the information on health-seeking behavior about two/third were informed from the senior member of the family. The majority of Santhal people had poor knowledge of health-seeking behavior and the majority had positive health-seeking behavior on modern treatment.
