  • Agricultural Transformation Around Koshi Hill Region: a Rural Development Perspective

    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.

    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.

At present, high dam issue is being the great issue especially raising by the inhabitants of upstream in Koshi basin. Therefore, this research paper attempts to examine the bio-physical consequences due to high dam in the upstream of Arun river basin. Geographic Information System (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS) technology have been used for the spatial analysis to prepare this paper. Spatial data have been taken from topographical map and Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and the attribute data have taken from Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Kathmandu. It revealed that approximately 11777 hectors arable plain land will be inundated in Arun river basin only by water with river deposits due to high dam if the high dam will be built at the proposed place and proposed dam height. The proposed place lies 1.6 km upstream from Barahakshetra temple of Sunsari district and the dam height will 269 meters.

  • Nepal: Children Caught in the Conflict

    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).
