Education
Young Kalidas at the early age of 13 had already started teaching when he was still enrolled as a student at the Durbar High School- the first school of Nepal. Listening to the man himself share his experiences was like taking a journey back to the genesis years of Nepalese art history. He obtained primary education from Durbar High School. In the year 1944 he completed Kala Pravin. This was the highest level of art education available in Nepal, he knew to achieve his goals he had to prepare himself to the fullest and for that he went to Mumbai (then Bombay) and in 1957 earned Graduate Diploma in Arts (GDA) degree from the Sir Jamsetjee Jeejebhoy School of Art in Mumbai (1957) under the Colombo Plan.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“It is hardly surprising that children should enthusiastically start their education at an early age with the Absolute Knowledge of computer science; while they are unable to read, for reading demands making judgments at every line.... Conversation is almost dead, and soon so too will be those who knew how to speak.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it.”
—Stephen Vizinczey (b. 1933)
“What education is to the individual man, revelation is to the human race. Education is revelation coming to the individual man, and revelation is education that has come, and is still coming to the human race.”
—Gotthold Ephraim Lessing (1729–1781)
