About Amori

Amori is a significant area located approximately 29 km from Champawat district, nestled on the road to Tanakpur. The region is characterized by its hilly terrain and is part of the Champawat district, which was established on 15 September 1997, separating it from the Pithoragarh district. Prior to this separation, Champawat was a tehsil under Pithoragarh.

Amori is surrounded by several rural areas such as Dudhori, Diuyri Naulpaani, Khatoli, Pachhnai, Chhatkot, and Larabora etc. A prominent river, Koirala, flows between Amori and its neighboring villages. Historically, during the monsoon season, residents of Khatoli and adjacent areas often remained confined to their homes for days due to the fear of the river’s flooding. In the past, there were no proper roads connecting Khatoli and Pachhnai, and villagers relied on horses and mules to transport their goods for months.

Currently, the area is progressing towards development. The lifestyle, food habits, and clothing of the local people are quite simple and traditional. However, the educational level, especially for women, has been notably low. Women in this region work tirelessly in the fields, alongside men, showcasing their hardworking nature. The primary livelihood for the residents is agriculture and labor. In recent years, about 10 percent of the population in each village has begun to work in government jobs.

Due to economic challenges, many daughters in the region were deprived of higher education after completing high school and intermediate studies. The establishment of **Rajkiya Mahavidyalaya Amori** (Champawat) in 2016 has been a revolutionary step for the community, becoming a beacon of hope and a dream for the local population. With this college, students, particularly girls, have opportunities for higher education. This institution has facilitated access to careers in the army, government sector jobs, and self-employment for students from numerous surrounding villages.

Rajkiya Mahavidyalaya Amori is proving to be a milestone in uplifting the educational standards of the region. It is anticipated that, in the near future, all boys and girls in this area will become fully educated, enhancing the prestige and prospects of Amori and its neighboring communities.

Thank you.
