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:
“The education of females has been exclusively directed to fit them for displaying to advantage the charms of youth and beauty. ... though well to decorate the blossom, it is far better to prepare for the harvest.”

“... all education must be unsound which does not propose for itself some object; and the highest of all objects must be that of living a life in accordance with God’s Will.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“In the years of the Roman Republic, before the Christian era, Roman education was meant to produce those character traits that would make the ideal family man. Children were taught primarily to be good to their families. To revere gods, one’s parents, and the laws of the state were the primary lessons for Roman boys. Cicero described the goal of their child rearing as “self- control, combined with dutiful affection to parents, and kindliness to kindred.””
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
