2015 Nepal earthquake

During the earthquake on 25 April 2015, a 37-year-old resident of Bidur named Shiva Shrestha was buried in a landslide and was rescued alive 98 hours afterwards. He was on his way to a picnic with fourteen of his friends, eleven of whom were buried during the massive landslide. Shrestha sustained several injuries on the head and body, and said he survived by drinking muddy water. After the earthquake, Bidur is still in the phase of rebuilding. Due to a lack of concerned focus on re-establishment, it is late in the process.

School

There are several government and private schools in Bidur. Recently, with the advent of Christianity, some Christian-based schools have also been opened, especially in the Colony area.
