  • Madan Bhandari Highway
    Report on Environmental, Social and Economic Impacts of Madan Bhandari Highway DECEMBER 17, 2019 NEFEJ Lalitpur Executive Summary The report of the eastern section of Madan Bhandari Highway was prepared on the basis of Hetauda-Sindhuli-Gaighat-Basaha-Chatara 371 km field study, discussion with the locals and the opinion of experts and reports. •During 2050's,Udaypur, Sindhuli and MakwanpurVillage Coordination Committee opened track and constructed 3 meters width road in their respective districts with an aim of linking inner Madhesh with their respective headquarters. In the background of the first Madhesh Movement, the road department started work on the concept of alternative roads. Initially, the double lane road was planned for an alternative highway of about 7 meters width. The construction of the four-lane highway under the plan of national pride began after the formation of a new government of the federal Nepal on the backdrop of the 2072 blockade and the Madhesh movement. The Construction of Highway was enunciated without the preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment Report despite the fact that it required EIA before the implementation of the big physical plan of long-term importance. Only the paper works were done on the study and design of the alternative highway concept. The required reports and construction laws were abolished from the psychology that strong reporting like EIA could be a hindrance to the roads being constructed through sensitive terrain like Chure (Siwalik). • During the widening of the roads, 8 thousand 2 hundred and 55 different trees of community forest of Makwanpur, Sindhuli and Udaypur districtsare cut.

  • Raja Ram CHHATKULI, Janak Raj JOSHI, Jagat DEUJA and Uma Shankar PANDAY, Nepal
    Participatory Mapping as a Smart Survey Technique to Support Land Rights for All: Experiences and Expectations (Nepal) Raja Ram CHHATKULI, Janak Raj JOSHI, Jagat DEUJA and Uma Shankar PANDAY, Nepal Key words: Land Policy, Land Rights, Security of Tenure, Fit-For-Purpose Land Administration, Participatory Mapping, Social Tenure Domain Model SUMMARY Successive Governments after the political change of 1951 have advocated pro-poor land reforms. After the adoption of new Constitution in 2015, serious attempts have been made in this direction. The National Land Policy (NLUP) adopted in 2019 adheres to the VGGT prinicples and stresses o Living No One Behind (LNOB). NLUP recognizes land rights of women and vulnerable groups, rehabilitation of the landless slum-dwellers, squatters and informal tenure-holders for sustainable and improved housing, access to land and security of tenure for all including the landless peasants. A Fit-For-Purpose Land Administration (FFPLA) approach provides a blueprint for a fast, economic and good enough solution and advocated as such in the Country Level Implementation Strategy for Nepal. To implement the land tenure security provisions of the NLUP, Nepal adopted 8th Amendment to the Lands Act, 1964 which provides for allocation of land to the landless and regularization of informal tenure up-to designated size based on different criteria of the attibutes of the person and the land and the person to land relations. As such the surveying and mapping for the purpose is more than a geomatic measurement activity and entails additional factors of social, economic, cultural and environmental information collection. A Land Issues Resolving Commission (LIRC) has been established and is mandated to undertake this august task.

  • Belaka Goat Porject Report
    1. Introduction Nepal is an agrarian based country where about 65.6 percent of population is based in agriculture which contributes about 35 percent of GDP. The Nepalese agriculture system comprises of crop, livestock and fodder trees where livestock provides milk, meat, manure, hide draught power, fertilizer, household fuel and fiber. The livestock sector contributes 14% of the national GDP and 32% of the AGDP, which shows significant role of the livestock sector in the country’s economy. The data showed that in total contribution of livestock the contribution of goat meat is 20 percent. Small ruminant especially goat has a significant role in the total livestock contribution. According to MoAC (2004), Goat constitutes a considerable proportion of total ruminants in hills (49.66 % of total ruminants in hills) and Terai (36.47% of total ruminant population) of Nepal, however in case of mountain sheep is more dominated. Thus the sector of goat provides a robust support in the livelihood of Nepalese farmers of hills and terai which constitute the higher proportion of land area and population of the country. According to MOAC (2011), around 75 percent of household are rearing goat which is percent) households. This shows preference of goat over other livestock species for the farm household. They serve as a complement to crop production along with supply of milk and meat. Goat farming is a major part of livestock sector and is mainly adopted by the small as well as marginal farmers whose primary and stable source is income is agriculture. Nepal has long been based on subsistence farming, where the farmers secure their livelihood from fragmented plots of land cultivated in difficult conditions mostly rained where only 28% of the total agricultural land (4.21 million ha) is irrigated 2 (World Bank, 2018).

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.
