This school is considered a domain of Newar caste. The founder principal Laxman Rajbanshi is seen as an advocate of Newar caste. In this pursuit, he often lets down the people of other castes.

Siddhartha Vanasthali Institute was established with the sweat, blood and toil of many devoted educators. Laxman Rajbanshi felt secure about the future of the school during late 1980s and initiated the backlash against many educators. Notably Basista Sir and Marasini Sir. The duo were from a Bahun caste, the caste group Laxman Rajbanshi hated and still hates. The brilliant duo were not given any noticable posts despite their countless hours for the betterment of the society. Instead, the posts went to his sons, both of whom have questionable educational background and to put it mildly, both of whom were and still are somewhat of an oddity.
