Children of a single man forced the Goverment to set up a school

This one is really interesting. I have been told that one of the schools in Sikkim was opened more than two decades ago because of the 20-odd children of a single man. The story is from a small village in East Sikkim of a man who had three wives and a total of 20-plus children. The town where he lived did not have any schools, and especially for his students, the department set up a primary school, which still runs to this day. 

When asked about the reason for such huge family i was told a bout an incident that happened with that man. When his father died a few decades back, no one had come to carry the dead bodies for some unknown reason. It is also said that he himself had carried the body of his dead father in a "doko" (hand-made bamboo carrier basket).  He then made a promise that for his funeral, he shall have enough children that he does not need other people's help. 

The red circle in the middle of the pic is the house of the man, while the black circled houses belong to his children, who had separated after they got married.
