  • Potentials and Problems of Agricultural Development in Dhading District
    57 NJ: NUTA Potentials and Problems of Agricultural Development in Dhading District Ram Sharan Pathak, PhD Professor, Ratna Rajya Laxmi Campus Exhibition Road, Kathmandu Email for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract The cereal crops, cash crops and pulses are mainly grown in Dhading district owing to variations in topography and climate. Cereal crops are most dominant crops in the district in terms of area under cultivation and production. Cereal crops account for 93 percent of the cultivated land and 78 percent of the total crop production. In this context, this paper tried to analyze potentials and problems of agriculture development in Dhading District. To the end, the study purposively selected six settlements from total 216 settlements located around Thopal Khola drainage basin of central Dhading. Three factors (i.e. distance from the district headquarter, different forms of transportation which affect in different ways on the agricultural transformation and terrain, such as river valley and ridge area providing different base to agricultural development) were taken into consideration while selecting those settlements. Primary data were collected from 132 farm households, ranging from 20 households from small villages to 24 households from large villages. The study found that farmers were well aware about their concern with return against the investment from agricultural crops, which are yet determined more by natural factors than infrasturcture and facilities. Therefore, the agricultural development policies and programmers require mitigating adverse impacts of natural factors by providing and strengthening the facilities and services such as irrigation, road access, service centres, supply of agricultural inputs, market demand links, etc, ensuring their long term impacts.

JV with Group of Engineer’s Consortium (P) Ltd., and Udaya Consultancy (P) Ltd.Kathmandu April 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction The Government of Nepal (GoN) has requested the World Bank (WB) to support the improvements of existing roads that are of vital importance to the country’s economy and regional connectivity through the proposed Strategic Road Connectivity and Trade Improvement Project (SRCTIP). The project has four components: (1) Trade Facilitation; (2) Regional Road Connectivity; (3) Institutional Strengthening; and (4) Contingency Emergency Response. Under the second component, this project will carry out the following activities: (a) Improvement of the existing 2-lane Nagdhunga-Naubise-Mugling (NNM) Road; (94.7 km on the pivotal north-south trade corridor connecting Kathmandu and Birgunj) to a 2-lane with 1 m paved shoulders, and (b) Upgrading of the Kamala-Dhalkebar-Pathlaiya (KDP) Road of the Mahendra Highway (East West Highway) from 2-lane to 4-lane. An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) was undertaken during the detailed design phase of the NNM Road to assess the environmental and social risks and impacts of the NNM Road before execution of the project in accordance with the Government of Nepal’s (GoN) requirements and the World Bank’s Environmental and Social Framework (ESF). The KDP Road is covered by a separate upstream Environmental and Social Assessment (ESA) based on pre-feasibility information since the feasibility study of KDP road has just commenced recently.

  • HHC-Covid-19-Relief-Report-June-2021-Website
    Page | 1 HHC’s Covid-19 relief during the second wave JUNE 2021 Reported by Kul Mani, Phe Dorje and Priyasha Parajuli Compiled and edited by Soni KC Parajuli The Government of Nepal on 29 April announced a lockdown of Kathmandu valley as a public health measure to help slow the spread of COVID-19 and it has been extended till June 21, 2021. Dhading district, where HHC primarily works, did likewise. Many vulnerable families dependent on daily wages have lost their income due to the lockdown and have no food stock or savings and are desperate. Himalayan HealthCare has tried to respond appropriately but only in health care. As soon as the second phase lockdown was announced, we reached out to our six 6 rural municipal partners in Dhading district. They requested mainly for oxygen cylinders and oxygen concentrators as oxygen was in short supply in Nepal mostly because of importation from India. Pulse oximeter, hygiene kit which included masks, sanitizer, etc. and other essentials were on the list. While we began sending out appeal letter and few substantial donations started coming in, we immediately ordered 15 concentrators from Bionic Nepal a reliable partner of HHC since 20 years so that we could help fulfill the oxygen need for the more moderately and mildly ill patients. HHC also ordered oxygen cylinders, PPE, gloves, masks, soaps, digital thermometers, etc. through local suppliers in Kathmandu. W submitted two proposals to Direct Relief and Brother’s Brother Foundation who supported HHC during the devastating earthquake of 2015. Direct Relief’s Senior Emergency & Preparedness Manager Mr.
