After the restructuring of the local government bodies established by the Constitution of Nepal 2015, the former VDCs now represent different wards of Sundarbazar (Chandreshwor, Duradanda, Dhuseni and Sindure), Madhyanepal (Neta and Ishaneshwor) or Besishahar (Purankot) municipalities.

You can also reach Duradanda from the west, using the Neta entry point of the Madhyanepal municipality if you are coming from the Pokhara side.

Dura tribe has a historic role and reputation in this area and are important political game players in the past as well as the present.

At that time, young people who wanted to come here to seek school education from far villages used to say: "Duradanda kei chhaina tadha, janchhu ma ta sikshya ko khojima" meaning that "Duradanda is no longer far and I want to go there seeking my education".

There were no hostels, so the youngsters used to live as guests (paying or free) in locals' houses, preferably relatives.

In return, they had to bring commodities or provide labor services for household and/or farm work.
