खिजी, खिची अथव खिचे एउटै अर्थ हो
सुनुवार हरुको पिता को नाम खिजी/खिछे रहेकोले जुन ठाउलाई खिजी भन्ने चलन किरातहरु को पाला देखिन थियो ।
खिचेका ५ छोरा १ छोरी थियो जुन यस्प्रकार छ:-
1. जेठा छोरा भुची
2. माईल छोरा प्रेत्ची
3. साईल छोरा काची
4. ठाईल छोरा मुली
5. कान्छा छोरा कोर्मी
6. छोरी जेरी
सुनुवार हरुको रिती रिवाजमा जेठा, माईल, साईल, ठाईल र छोरी विवाह भई सकेपछी सबै जन पिताको घर छोड्नु पर्ने
हुन्छ कान्छा छोरा मात्रै पिताको घरमा रहने चलन् रहिरहेकोछ । अहिले को युग् मा पनि कान्छा छोराले मात्रै घर बारी दिने चलन छ र पाएन्छ ।
खिजीको जेठा छोरा भुची घर छाडी पारी पाटी बसेपछी जुन ठाउलाई पनि भुजी नै भनिन्छ र त्यहाँ बुजीचा थर मात्रै पाईन्छ र प्रेत्ची पनि पारी पाटिनै बसेपछी सो ठाउलाई नि प्रेत्ची, प्रिती भनिन्छ र त्यहाँ प्रेत्तिचा थर मात्रै पाईन्छ । काची पनि वारी पाटी नजिकै बासे पछी सो बसेको ठाउलाई नि काची, काती (खिजीकाति) भनिन्छ त्यहाँ कातिचा थर मात्रै पाईन्छ र मुली चाँही नजिकै पल्लो पाटी बासे पछी सो ठाउलाई नि मुल् गाउँ भनिन्छ त्यहाँ मुलिचा थर मात्रै पाईन्छ । र कान्छा छोरा कोर्मी चाँही आफ्नै पिताको जन्म घर खिजीमै बसेको पाईन्छ जहाँ कोर्मोचा थर मात्रै भेटिन्छन् यही एतिहस छ । र छोरी जेरी चाँही भोट् जने को छोरा सँग विबह गरेर माईल दाई प्रेत्ची को पारी गाउँ तीर गएर बसे पछी जुन ठाउलाई नि जिरी भनेर भनिन्छ । अनी सुनिन्छ जिरेल चाँही सुनुवार + शर्पा को मिलन हो भनेर जिरेल आँफैले भन्ने गर्छन ।
अनी आरु सुनुवार हरुको थर चाँही कहाँ गयप भो त ? सुर्ता नमानुस्

After the completion of lower secondary and hight secondary education the students need to walk at least 90 minutes to reach the 10+2 which are situated in other Villages. There are very few students who have the luck to see the college and university. They can be count on fingers. Developmental Activities:
The district headquarter is situated around 35 kilometers far from the village. All most all local development administrations are situated in the headquarter of the district. Being an uneducated people there are no one to support for the development of the village. There is no any infrastructural development in the village except a health post and a lower secondary school. It takes around 18 hours to reach the close road transportation from the village. Many people even just day dream about motor-bus and aero-planes. They did not see the real motor buses and aero planes in their life. There is no electricity so the villagers have to depend on wood fuel. There is no safe drinking water and irrigation for agriculture. There is no any scientific cultivation system. People just follow traditional agriculture system and depend on rainfall for cultivation. Address for mail Exchange:
