The common language is Nepali (96%) followed by Bhote Sherpa (0.46%) and Tamang (0.42%).[citation needed] Although accessibility to Bajura is very poor, this is improving rapidly. The Government strategy is mainly focused on the connection of VDC headquarters with all-weather motor able roads to SRN or District headquarters. Moreover, the DDC body of Bajura district has given higher priority on rural roads.[citation needed]
