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:
“Quintilian [educational writer in Rome around A.D. 100] thought that the earliest years of the child’s life were crucial. Education should start earlier than age seven, within the family. It should not be so hard as to give the child an aversion to learning. Rather, these early lessons would take the form of play—that embryonic notion of kindergarten.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
“Institutions of higher education in the United States are products of Western society in which masculine values like an orientation toward achievement and objectivity are valued over cooperation, connectedness and subjectivity.”
—Yolanda Moses (b. 1946)
“Since [Rousseau’s] time, and largely thanks to him, the Ego has steadily tended to efface itself, and, for purposes of model, to become a manikin on which the toilet of education is to be draped in order to show the fit or misfit of the clothes. The object of study is the garment, not the figure.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
