The district of Rolpa ( Nepali रोल्पा जिल्ला Rolpā Jillā ) is one of 77 districts in Nepal and has belonged to Province No. 5 since the 2015 constitution .

history

Historically, Rolpa was a principality that neither belonged to the Chaubisi Rajya to the west nor to the Baise Rajya to the east . In 1769 it was annexed by the Gorkha Kingdom under Prithvi Narayan Shah and has belonged to Nepal ever since.

During the civil war from 1996 to 2006, Rolpa was a Maoist stronghold and the scene of many conflicts.

The district was part of the Rapti administrative zone until 2015 .

geography

Agriculture, including livestock, and homeworking are the main industries in the district. Over 95% of households have agriculture as their main source of income.

Due to the limited employment opportunities in Rolpa, however, many young men work abroad, which means that a considerable amount of money flows into the district through remittances from abroad.

Rolpa is one of the less developed areas of Nepal with a low life expectancy (52 years) and an average income below 100 USD per capita. In 2017 it was one of the ten poorest and most underdeveloped districts of Nepal with a Human Development Index value of less than 0.4.

Residents

Rolpa had 210,004 inhabitants at the 2011 census.
