Sankhuwasabha DTMP Sankhuwasabha 2012 FOREWORD It is my great pleasure to introduce this District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) of Sankhuwasabha district especially for district road core network (DRCN). I believe that this document will be helpful in backstopping to Rural Transport Inffrastructure Sector Wide Approach (RTI SWAp) through sustainable planning, resouurces mobilization, implementation and monitoring of the rural road sub-sector development. The document is anticipated to generate substantial employment opportunities for rural people through increased and reliable accessibility in on farm and off-farm livelihood diversification, and commercialization and industrialization of agriculture and other economic sectors, as well as harmonization of social centres. In this context, rural road sector will play a fundamental role to strengthen and promote overall economic growth of this district through established and improved year round transport services reiinforcing intra and inter-district linkages . Therefore, it is most crucial in executing rural road networks in a planned way as per the District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) by considering the framewwork of available resources in DDC comprising both inteernal and external sources. Viewing these aspects, DDC Sankhuwasabha has prepared the DTMP by focusing mostt of the available resources into upgrading and maintenance of the existing road networks. This document is also bbeen assumed to be helpful in lobbing and fascinating the donor agencies through central government towards generating needy resources through basket fund approach. Furthermore, this document not solely will be supportive in avoiding pervasive duplication approach in resources allocation under the rural road network development sector but also will be helpful in supporting overall development management of the district. I would, firstly like to express my gratitude to Mr. Bishnu Ram Bistaa, RTI Pilot District Asset Management Engineer for his continuous dedication, hard work, cooperation, negotiation and counselling in bringing up this DTMP document at this final stage successfully. I would also express my gratitude to Mr. Jagdish Kumar Singh, RTI Pilot Sub Asset Management Engineer for his valuable support in the process of preparing DTMP report. I would like to thank to Mr. Sanjay Parsad Sah, Chief off District Technical Office (DTO), Mr. Kaji Man Rai, Planning and Administrative Officer DDC and other DDC and DTO staffs who directly and indirrectly supported in the process of preparing this document. My special thank goes to all chief and representatives of political parties and other DTICC members, as well as civil societies who played central role in tthe prioritization of roads for DRCN and other valuable supports in preparing this document. Last but not least, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development (MoFALD), Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads (DOLIDAR) and RTI SECTOR Maintenance Pilot Ceentral Unit for their valuable support to produce this report. Any innovative and constructive suggestions regardinng policy implementation and compliance of DTMP will be highly appreciated.

It borders with Taplejung and Terahthum district in the east, Solukhumbu and Bhojpur districts in the west, Dhankuta district in the south and Tibet the autonomous region of China in the north. The district has 1 municipality, 33 VDCs, 11 Ilakas and 2 constituency areas. The total area of the district is 3,468.38 km2. The district extends within 27º 06’ to 27º 55’ latitudes and longitude of 87º 57’ to 87º 40’ E. The lowest elevation point is 250 meter and the highest elevation point is 8463 meter from mean sea level. Subsistence agriculture farming, mainly small scale livestock is the main source of occupation and livelihood of the majority of the population, with 77.62% of the population active in this sector. Due to low level of agricultural production, the majority of the households face acute food shortages for a large part of the year. Total population of the district is 158,742 of which female is 83,517 (52.61%) and male is 75,225 (47.39%) residing in 34,624 households. Population density of the district is 52 persons/ km2. Average household size 4.33 person and life expectancy is 64years. Literacy rate of the district is 54.17%. Koshi highway (Basantapur-Chainpur-Tumlingtar-Khandbari-Num is the main access road of the district and leguwa-Tumling road is also another important access of the district. The district inventory identified just over 592.25 km of roads, including 160.75 km of strategic road network.Total 359.5 km of district road core network (DRCN) including 107km planed new construction to connect untouched VDC headquarters. DTICC has selected 23 nos of roads in district road core network (DRCN). 252.2 km of DRCN road need to conservation, improvement and 161.85 km liaise on of village road network. The existing DRCN roads link up 33 VDC headquarters with district headquarter. All of the DRCN roads are earthen fair- weather roads. Road Class Total length Black Top Gravel Earthen Strategic road network 160.75 49.50 25.20 86.05 Urban roads 17.45 1.08 ‐ 16.37 District road core network 252.20 ‐ ‐ 252.20 Village roads 161.85 ‐ 6.09 155.76 Total 592.25 50.58 31.29 510.38 Annual conservation costs are estimated at NPR 76 million based on the first year, and will be updated in the ARMP based on actual annual maintenance needs as determined in the annual road condition survey. For the full five-year period the conservation costs will come to NPR 378 million. An analysis of the road network identified the need for improvement of all the DRCN roads in order to bring them to a maintainable all-weather standard and provide them with a proper road surface in light of existing traffic volumes. The required improvements and their estimated costs are listed below. Improvement type Requirement Cost (NPR) Bridges m 906,000,000 Slab culverts m 78,000,000 Causeways m 14,924,300 Hume pipes units 640,000 Masonry retaining walls m3 5,093,682 Gabion retaining walls m3 51,090,275 Lined drains m 3,988,057 Widening m ‐ Rehabilitation km 3,480,000 Gravelling km 554,840,000 Blacktopping km ‐ New construction km 1,359,400,000 Total 2,977,456,314 3 The available budget for the road sector for the coming five years (fiscal year 2069/70 to 2073/74) is estimated to be NPR 268.00 million. Allocation to the district road core network was set at 95% of the total road sector budget, which was subsequently allocated firstly to the annual maintenance needs, secondly to the improvement needs and lastly to new construction. This budget is insufficient to cover all the estimated costs of conservation, improvement and new construction. However, it allows all conservation requirements to be covered throughout the DTMP period and almost all improvement works to be completed before the end of the DTMP period. The remaining improvement works will be carried out in the next DTMP. New construction is not possible within this DTMP period and will also be carried out under the next DTMP. Within the DTMP period 41.46KM of roads will be gravelled (16%) .and resulting in a total of 48.52km being brought to a maintainable all-weather standard. VDC headquarters with access to all-weather DRCN roads or the SRN will increase from 9 to 13. 4 ABBREVIATIONS DDC District Development Committee DOLIDAR Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agriculture Road DOR Department of Road DTICC District Transport Infrastructure Coordination Committee DTMP District Transport Master Plan DTPP District Transport Perspective Plan GIS Geographical Information system GPS Global Positioning System GON Government of Nepal LGCDP Local Governance and Community Development Programme MFALD Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development SWAp Sector Wide Approach VDC Village Development Committee RTI SWAp Rural

  • Agricultural Transformation Around Koshi Hill Region: a Rural Development Perspective
    95 NJ: NUTA Agricultural Transformation around Koshi Hill Region: A Rural Development Perspective Tirtha Raj Timalsina Lecturer, Dhankuta Multiple Campus, Dhankuta Eastern Nepal Email for correspondence:[email protected] Abstract Agriculture is considered to be the basic segment and the backbone of developing economy. In the same way it is a prime and domonent sector of Nepalese rural livelihood. By considering this fact, the true value of rural development lies on the rapid transformation of existing agricultural sector. The aim of this study is to analyze the role of agricultural transformation for rural development of Koshi Hill Region (KHR) of eastern Nepal. Both the primary as well as secondary data and information have been used to obtain the required findings. The study reveals the fact that agriculture is inevitable for rural people and its transformation is essential for the development of rural areas and the nation as a whole. Including primarily to the road network, the development of infrastructure can play the detrimental role to change the backward and rural scenario of this country. Key words: Agricultural transformation, rural development, Koshi-Hill, essential, backbone, access. Conceptualization Agriculture is an important segment of traditional (feudal) economy, the transformation from feudalism to capitalism necessarily implies a transformation of agriculture (Lekhi, 2005). Thereby, agriculture is the prime occupation and also the backbone of most of the developing economies. The countries that are in the low profile of international comparision, no doubt they are moving on stagnat and backward agriculture with under or misutilized physical as well as human resources. The country which are backward and underdeveloped are not always facing the scarcity of resources but the techniques or to know how to manage the scarcely available means and reslurces is accepted as the principal understanding of development science.

  • River Culture in Nepal
    Nepalese Culture Vol. XIV : 1-12, 2021 Central Department of NeHCA, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal DOI: https://doi.org/10.3126/nc.v14i0.35187 River Culture in Nepal Kamala Dahal- Ph.D Associate Professor, Patan Multipal Campus, T.U. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Most of the world civilizations are developed in the river basins. However, we do not have too big rivers in Nepal, though Nepalese culture is closely related with water and rivers. All the sacraments from birth to the death event in Nepalese society are related with river. Rivers and ponds are the living places of Nepali gods and goddesses. Jalkanya and Jaladevi are known as the goddesses of rivers. In the same way, most of the sacred places are located at the river banks in Nepal. Varahakshetra, Bishnupaduka, Devaghat, Triveni, Muktinath and other big Tirthas lay at the riverside. Most of the people of Nepal despose their death bodies in river banks. Death sacrement is also done in the tirthas of such localities. In this way, rivers of Nepal bear the great cultural value. Most of the sacramental, religious and cultural activities are done in such centers. Religious fairs and festivals are also organized in such a places. Therefore, river is the main centre of Nepalese culture. Key words: sacred, sacraments, purity, specialities, bath. Introduction The geography of any localities play an influencing role for the development of culture of a society. It affects a society directly and indirectly. In the beginning the nomads passed their lives for thousands of year in the jungle.

    DOI: https://doi.org/10.3126/tgb.v6i0.26170 Socio-economic Background of the Women Workers in Guranse Tea Estate, Dhankuta Anita Thapa1 Abstract Abundance of female workers in tea estate is common phenomena in the context of Nepalese tea industry. Women are main work force especially for leaf picking in any tea industry. So, the role of women participation is notable in this sector. This study focusses on socio- economic background of women workers in Guranse Tea Estate, Dhankuta. Both qualitative and quantitative methods have been used to collect data and information through questionnaire, interview, focused group discussion, key informant interview and observation. Various types and nature of tea workers are found in the tea industry. Different types of socio-economic background such as caste/ethnicity, age group, educational status, land ownership, income level etc. have been found in this tea estate. Most of the workers are represented from indigenous and ethnic group with 20-40 age group. Similarly, a large number of tea workers are illiterate and landless as well as having low level of income. Key words: Women worker, Guranse tea estate, tea plantation, participation, income Introduction Tea is an important commercial cash crop in Nepal. Tea farming in Nepal has appeared as a significant agro-based industry that has been contributing vastly to the national economy in terms of generating employment opportunity as well as raising the revenue in the present days (Karki, 1981). Tea plantation was started in 1863 from Ilam, its expansion in the real sense, took place only after the establishment of Nepal Tea Development Corporation Board (NTDCB) in 1966 when first Rana Prime Minister Janga Bahadur Rana came in power.

  • Nepal: Children Caught in the Conflict
    Previous Nepal Children caught in the conflict Nepal has been gripped by a brutal internal armed conflict between the security forces and Communist Party of Nepal (CPN) (Maoist) rebels for the last nine years, during which more than 12,000 people have died. Nepal’s civilians are caught between the two sides and are experiencing extreme violence and hardship. While the violence is affecting all sections of society, Nepali children are being impacted particularly harshly and in very specific ways. The most fundamental rights of children, provided by general human rights treaties and particularly by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), as well as by international humanitarian law treaties and rules of customary international law, have been violated. Children are being killed deliberately or in indiscriminate attacks, illegally detained, tortured, raped, abducted and recruited for military activities. Many Nepali children have for a long time experienced extreme poverty, lack of access to basic services, discrimination against girls and Dalit children, trafficking and sexual and commercial exploitation. The conflict is exacerbating many of these already existing abuses and eroding recent progress towards improving the lives of children. Children killed in the conflict According to children’s NGOs(1) at least 400 children have died in conflict related violence since 1996. However, with little information available from Nepal’s most remote districts and with many families inhibited from reporting killings due to widespread fear and no hope of justice, the true number of children killed is likely to be far higher. Extrajudicial executions by the security forces have been a constant feature of the conflict and the scale of these killings has increased significantly in the last year(2).
