Bhattarai (Independent Consultants) May 2004 Foreword The independent consultants as per the request of ADB to NEA prepare this Resettlement Plan (RP). This RP is based on the data already collected by NEA and its consultants at different times and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and ACRP with short Resettlement Plan Reports of the Transmission Line Project, approved by the concerned ministries of HMG and reviewed by ADB. The independent consultants have reviewed all the available reports in the context of ADB Guideline for Resettlement. In the process of independent assessment, the consultants made revisit of the T/L alignment and relocate house structures. Similarly, plant/vegetation and crop inventories have been prepared to assess the losses. Extensive discussion were held with the NEA officials for the development of the resettlement policy framework for the project, taking consideration of the HMG’s rules, regulations and practices and ADB policy on resettlement. The report presented is in the ADB report format and addresses the issues as per the ADB requirement. The consultants extend their gratitude to Mr. M.P. Khakurel (Project Manager), Mr. S.K. Mishra (Engineer) and Mr. P.D. Ulak (Assistant Administrative Officer) of Thankot–Chapagaon–Bhaktapur T/L project, NEA for providing all needed information and help to expedite independent assessment.

  • Peasantry in Nepal
    92 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Peasantry in Kathmandu Valley and Its Southern Ridges 4.1 Introduction From ancient times, different societies of caste/ethnicity have been adopting various strategies for ac- quiring a better livelihood in Nepal. Agriculture was, and is, the main strategy. The predominant form of agriculture practised throughout the hilly area of the Nepal is crop farming, livestock and forestry at the subsistence level. Kathmandu valley including Lalitpur district is no exception. The making of handicrafts used to be the secondary occupation in the urban areas of the district. People in the montane and the rural part of the district was more dependent upon the forest resources for subsidiary income. Cutting firewood, making khuwa (solidified concentrated milk cream) and selling them in the cities was also a part of the livelihood for the peasants in rural areas. However, since the past few decades peasants/rural households who depended on subsistence farming have faced greater hardships in earning their livelihoods from farming alone due to rapid population growth and degradation of the natural resource base; mainly land and forest. As a result, they have to look for other alternatives to make living. With the development of local markets and road network, people started to give more emphasis to various nonfarm works as their secondary occupation that would not only support farming but also generate subsidiary cash income. Thus, undertaking nonfarm work has become a main strategy for a better livelihood in these regions. With the introduction of dairy farming along with credit and marketing support under the dairy development policy of the government, small scale peasant dairy farming has flourished in these montane regions.

  • Impact of Climatechangeon the Farm-Based Adaptive Strategies in Bhaktapurdistrict
    211 Impact of ClimateChangeon the Farm-based Adaptive Strategies in BhaktapurDistrict Suman Kumar Shrestha (Principal Author)* Shambhu Prasad Khatiwada, PhD (Corresponding Author)** Abstract This paper explores the impact of climate change on the farm-based adaptive strategies of the communities in Suryabinayak Municipality, Bhaktapur district. The mixed-method (QUAN-QUL) research design was applied to data collection, although, quantitative method is predominant. There were 107 households sampled purposively from Ward No. 5 and 9. Primary data were collected from field observation, personal interviews, focus group discussion (FGD), and Key informant survey (KIS) methods. Then these data have been analyzed through triangulation. Secondary data were collected from archives and e-resources. Individual experiences, perceptions and views have been analyzed from the Likert (1-5) scale and the Cronbach alpha was applied to the significant test. The findings showed that more than 65 percent of households said they received information on climate change from Radio, TV, and Newspapers. One of the Key persons stated that for almost two decades, cereal crop production is declining since the last two decades. In this regard, more than 72 percent of households reported that the temperature rise is the main reason for declining in yielding of cereal crops. It has followed by the frequent floods in the second (19.6%) and droughts in the least (8.4%). They seem to have adapted diversified livelihood strategies to mitigate the adverse conditions of climate change, such as vegetable farming, floriculture, mushroom farming, poultry, animal husbandry, and fishing according to their socioeconomic systems. However, their responses are varying across time and space based on the adaptive capacity of the local community.

  • Water Security in Peri-Urban South Asia Adapting to Climate Change and Urbanization
    WATER SECURITY IN PERI-URBAN SOUTH ASIA ADAPTING TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND URBANIZATION Scoping Study Report: Nepal Prof. Ashutosh Shukla Mr. Mohan Bikram Prajapati Mr. Rajesh Sada Mrs. Anushiya Shrestha Working primarily on water security issues in Peri-Urban South Asia, across India, Bangladesh and Nepal, the project's main concerns are the rapidly changing peri-urban landscapes due to urbanisation and implications for water security in specific locations in the larger context of climate change. As an action research project, working across four locations in South Asia, it will serve as a basis for capacity-building at the grass roots level to address concerns of the poor, marginalised and other vulnerable communities to water security and seek to understand the dynamics of adaptation in the specific locations, for action and policy agenda at the regional level. It will build their capacities to cope with climate change induced water in-security. The project is being coordinated by SaciWATERs, Hyderabad, India and executed in association with Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka in Bangladesh and Nepal Engineering College (nec), Kathmandu in Nepal. This project is supported by Canada's International Development Research Centre (IDRC). A scoping study was carried out for a period of six months from August 2010 – January 2011. It was an exploratory phase that investigated the key peri-urban and climate-change related issues in the research sites. The process of changing peri-urban landscape and its impact on water security and vulnerability was probed by literature review, field visits, discussions with various stakeholders, and use of other qualitative techniques.
