With the aim of obtaining and making available the precise information on internal discrimination as well as the status of terai Dalits, LANCAU launched a study on intra dalit discrimination on 18 castes of Madheshi Dalits in 2005. The study was later published as a book under a title "Intra Dalit Discrimination: Status of Tarai Dalits". Dr Bishnu Pathak takes the leadership of this study. The book is published by LANCAU Nepal targets terai Dalits in particular and hilly Dalits in general as the main beneficiaries.
At the present moment the relevancy of the book is very much because till this date there have not been not data on terai Dalits. 5 different districts were selected as the target areas for the IDD research. Interviews and focus group discussion forums were conducted to collect the information on intra dalit discrimination. The major findings of the book are:
Dalit in general and tarai Dalit in particular are suffered by many ways:

Having felt the necessity to formulate a separate Act on the crime of untouchability, LANCAU Nepal began drafting such an Act and finally, became able to give a concrete shape to it. The draft Act has been titled “A study report on the draft of Caste-based untouchability crime (Control and Punishment) Act”. The proposed Act has five chapters and 24 Clauses. The draft has introduced stiff measures for a person resorting to the crime of untouchability. For instance, penalty of as much as 25,000 rupees and one year long imprisonment have been provisioned to discourage the occurrence of this particular crime. A pool of experts then completed the work of finalizing the special draft Act on the crime of untouchability. The group of experts comprised of advocates Narayan Nepali, Luma Singh Biswokarma and Des Bahadur Sarki and Bhojman Lamgade as the Draft Committee members. Man Bahadur Biswokarma and advocate Tek Tamrakar were the advisors of the committee. After various rounds of consultation meetings, the initial draft of the proposed Act has been well-documented and is being discussed at the national level.

What should be the modality and contents of the Constitution of new Nepal to be adopted after the constituent assembly polls? The LANCAU Nepal has an answer: the Constitution should be inclusive and represent all castes and creeds of the country. The Constitution should give a justice to the Dalit community by addressing their problems and giving a practical solution to it. In this backdrop, keeping in mind the upcoming elections of constituent assembly and the ongoing national debate on the restructuring of the state, LANCAU Nepal has come up with a relevant draft on new Nepal’s new Constitution. The book has been titled “Constitution of new Nepal to be formulated by the constituent assembly (draft and analytical remarks for provisions related to Dalits)” and deals with very fresh concepts. The concepts range from providing geographical and ethnical autonomy to different communities to making untouchability a crime and uplifting the backward Dalit communities. In particular, under the to-be-built Constitution, the book proposes three Acts to be incorporated. They are: (a) National Social Justice Commission Act 2007, (b) Dalit Empowerment Academy Act 2007, and (c) Caste-based Untouchability Crime (Control and Punishment) Act 2007.

After various consultation meetings with different stakeholders LANCAU Nepal has published stickers and posters related to awaring people about caste based discrimination and untouchability. During consultations, representatives from the Police Headquarters, National Dalit Commission, and Attorney General’s Office, among others, expressed solidarity and joint determination to bring untouchability to an end. At first, we approach the Home Ministry for necessary cooperation. Both of us reached an understanding that we would now onwards use two logos – one of LANCAU and one of Home Ministry in each and every poster and sticker related to the crime of untouchability.

Publication of all six bulletins has been performed. The bulletins were produced to inform people about the initiatives and campaigns against untouchability. Periodical activities of LANCAU Nepal during 2005 and 2006 have also been enlisted in the bulletins. The bulletins have also covered accounts of people's contribution to cause of healing the wounds of the victims of untouchability crime.
