Adhikaar, a Nepali support group, assists immigrants in need

Three years ago, fewer than 10 Nepali immigrants took English classes at Adhikaar, a Queens group that supports transplants from the small South Asian nation.

Now, nearly 100 Nepalese, who are part of a flourishing population planting roots in the borough, pack into eight classes a week with hopes of overcoming one of the biggest obstacles in their new life -- the language barrier.
