    International Journal of Agricultural Science Research Vol. 2(5), pp. 163-176, May 2013 Available online at http://academeresearchjournals.org/journal/ijasr ISSN 2327-3321 ©2013 Academe Research Journals Full Length Research Paper Performance of development organizations in agriculture sector of Dadeldhura District: An economic analysis G. P. Bohara*, J. P. Dutta, D. Dhakal and J. L. Yadav Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal Accepted 17 May, 2013 Transformation of traditional and subsistence agriculture into commercial and market oriented production system needs efficient transfer of technology to the farmers. Efforts to bridge the gap between research and farmer’s field have been lacking in Nepal and performance of the organizations providing extension services to the farmers is below par, the reason behind this state of affairs is still to be studied. In order to assess the performance of development organizations, this study selected 105 farmers from Dadeldhura district using stratified random sampling technique and both primary and secondary data regarding the activities of those organizations were collected. The development organizations were found to be concentrated in urban areas with technician to population ratio and extension coverage of 1:2353 and 22.7%, respectively. Agriculture sector occupied only 4.01% of the district budget. Most of the organizations had similar type of activities mainly related to technology, extension and support. Regression analysis showed that organizations had significant contribution in annual income of farmers, hence it played a significant role in development of agriculture in the district and respondents were satisfied by their works in general with few disappointments at some instants.

It is the second year research following the master’s thesis of Arun Thapa in 2014. A field experiment was designed and conducted in the mid-hills of Nepal in order to improve the maize-based cropping system which was the majority in local. Hope the results can be useful to the agricultural development associations and scientific communities who would like to make progress for the agricultural production in Nepal. It is my first time to conduct an experiment and present it with report on academic scale. Since the development of proposal and literature research, I faced plenty of difficulties especially in writing introduction and defining research questions. Thanks to the suggestions and work of Arun, his study highly inspired me and saved my time. The life in Nepal was another adventure and challenging, because I had to schedule the weekly measurement together with adjusting my living habit. Without any transportation means and Nepalese speaking, I really thanks to the great help of Mr.

  • PAF) Program Implementation Status (As of 14 March 2011 and FY 2010/11
    Poverty Alleviation Fund (PAF) Program Implementation Status (as of 14 March 2011 and FY 2010/11) Poverty Alleciation Fund (PAF) is implementing targeted demand-driven community based program. It directly supported third pillar of Tenth Plan/ Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper-PRSP of the Government of Nepal (GoN) and supporting the social inclusion/ targeted program of the Three Year Interim Plan (Annex-I: PAF program at a glance). It aim to improve access to income- generation and infrastructures for groups that had tended to be excluded by reasons of gender, ethnicity and caste, as well as for the poorest groups in communities. Presently PAF is implementing its program in 59 districts. Initially it selected six districts viz. Darchula, Mugu, Pyuthan, Kapilbastu, Ramechhap and Siraha for programme implementation. In the FY 2062/63 (2005/06 AD), 19 additional districts were selected (Achham, Baitadi, Bajhang, Bajura, Dadeldhura, Dailekh, Dolpa, Doti, Humla, Jajarkot, Jumla, Kalikot, Mahottari, Rasuwa, Rautahat, Rolpa, Rukum, Sarlahi and Sindhuli). Further, PAF initiated its program in additional 15 districts from FY 2065/066 (Okhaldhunga, Bara, Khotang, Salyan, Saptari, Udaypur, Solukhumbu, Sindhupalchowk, Panchthar, Dhanding, Taplejung, Parsa, Bardiya, Dhanusha and Terhathum). With this, PAF now covers, as PAF regular program districts, all the 25 districts from Group–C and 15 districts from Group-B categorized as most deprived districts by CBS/NPC (Central Bureau of Statistics – National Planning Commission) based on 28 poverty related social-economic indicators (Annex-XX). Besides working in these regular program districts, PAF is implementing innovative pocket programme in other 19 districts as well under the special innovative window programme to capture replicable innovative initiatives to reach to the poor.

  • The Current Food Security Qtr
    Nepal Food Security Bulletin Issue 25, July - October 2009 Situation Summary • The total number of food insecure people across Nepal is Figure 1. Percentage of population food insecure estimated to be 3.7 million, this represents approximately 16.4% of the rural population. WFP Nepal is feeding 1.6 17.0% million people which has had a significant impact on reducing 2009 winter drought this figure. 16.5% • July—August is typically a period of heightened food insecurity across Nepal. This year’s lean period was particularly severe in several areas of the country due to the 2008/09 winter 16.0% drought which led to reduced household food stocks and in the worst affected areas household food shortages. 15.5% • During the coming months, short term food security should continue to improve across most of Nepal as the current 15.0% harvest of summer crops (paddy, millet and maize) will be completed. However, the longer term outlook is that food security will decline within the next 6 months as summer crop 14.5% production at a national level is expected to be generally weak. Oct-Dec 09 Jan-Mar 09 Apr-Jun 09 Jul-Sep 09 Poor summer crop production is the result of late plantation (caused by late monsoon rains) combined with erratic and generally low rainfall during the monsoon. • Of the 476 households surveyed by WFP between July and September, summer crop losses of more than 30% have been experienced or are expected by more than 40% of households. Of critical concern is the situation in Bajura, Achham, Darchula, Jumla, Humla, Mugu, Dailekh, Rukum, and Taplejung where the main summer crops (paddy,millet and/or maize) have failed by 30-70% across multiple VDCs.
