    Distribution and availability of raw materials for production of Nepali handmade paper from Daphne species in Darchula district, Nepal D. K. Kharal1, B. N. Oli2 and I. Poudel3 The study, conducted in 2005 in Darchula district of the far western region of Nepal, aimed at assessing the distribution of Lokta plants (Daphne species) and the sustainable availability of their bark as a raw material for Nepali handmade paper. Stratifi ed random sampling design was adopted for collecting primary data from 340 circular shaped sample plots. The study revealed asymmetric distribution and production of Lokta in different Range post areas of Darchula district. While the tree diameter at 30 cm from base (D30) varied from 1 to 18 cm, the maximum tree height varied from 2.1 to 6 m. On the basis of diameter class, about 87 % of the bark weight was found to be of exploitable category. For the entire district of Darchula, the annual yield of Lokta bark for six years rotation amounted only to about two-third of the four years rotation. The study concludes that the stock of Lokta bark that prevails in the district can sustain promotion of Nepali paper production enterprises. Key words: Annual yield, Non Timber Forest Product, rotation, Range post, sustainable production on Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) have a for manufacturing handmade papers.

  • India-Nepal,Kalapani,Nepal,Open Border
    APRIL 2020 ISSUE NO. 356 India and Nepal’s Kalapani Border Dispute: An Explainer SOHINI NAYAK ABSTRACT Neighbours India and Nepal, who share an open border, have not always had the most amicable of relations, oscillating from one extreme to the other. One of their long-standing disputes is over the border area of Kalapani. This discord has the potential to disrupt the other aspects of their ties, especially in the domains of the economy and cross-border security. Further, if the two countries fail to arrive at a resolution to the disagreement, it might give other stakeholders such as China an opportunity to interfere. This brief explains the Kalapani issue and in that context, explores what can be expected of the bilateral relationship in the future.

    Effectiveness of Incentive/Scholarship Programmes for Girls and Disadvantaged Children Tribhuvan University Research Centre for Educational Innovation and Development Tripureshwor, Kathmandu, Nepal July 2003 Incentive/Scholarship Programmes Study Team Narendra Phuyal Researcher Renu Thapa Associate Researcher Bhoj Raj Dahal Associate Researcher Anju Shakya Research Assistant Purshottam Acharya Research Assistant Formative Research Project, CERID Coordinator: Dr. Bijaya Kumar Thapa Project Advisor: Dr. Hridaya Ratna Bajracharya Associate Researcher: Mr. Rom Prasad Bhattarai ii FRP Study 7 Acknowledgement In the twenty-first century, Nepalese girls and children of ethnic/minority caste groups are found suppressed, neglected and forced to live deprived because of non-education, poverty and social discrimination. As a result, about 19% primary school age children (6-10 years) are still out of school in the country. How to take them to school and provide them education has been one of the major challenges for BPEP II. In this regard, various scholarship and incentive programmes have been launched by MOES under BPEP II. On the other hand, two piloting programmes - education of girls and education of special focus group children - are being conducted. This study focuses on three scholarship and incentive programmes: Educational Incentive Programme for Girls (EIPG), Primary School Scholarship for All Girls, and Dalit Scholarship. The study partially centers on identifying the gaps in the programmes designed for the girls and educationally disadvantaged children. It also suggests measures for improvement in enrolment and retention as well as future strategies for the education of the girls and disadvantaged children. This may help education planners and programme implementers. The research team expresses its sincere thanks to Mr.

  • Performance of Sweet Pepper Under Protective
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENT Volume-3, Issue-1, Dec-Feb 2013/14 ISSN 2091-2854 Received:1 February Revised:24 February Accepted:25 February EFFECT OF RAINFALL ON THE YIELD OF MAJOR CEREALS IN DARCHULA DISTRICT OF NEPAL Govinda Bhandari* Progressive Sustainable Developers Nepal (PSD-Nepal) PO Box: 23883 Kathmandu, Nepal *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Rainfall is one of the most important factors for the growth of cereals. Inadequate water results poor growth and reduced yield. This study is aimed to explore the relationship between rainfall and yield of major cereals in Darchula district of Nepal. The yield of individual cereals is correlated with the seasonal rainfall data using MS Excel to identify the effect of rainfall on yield of cereals. The amount of rainfall in the years 1974, 1977, 1980, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1991, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999 and 2000 was reduced which has greatly affected the yield of rice, wheat and maize in 1986 and 1987. In the years 1976, 1977, 1999 and 2000, the decrease in the amount of rainfall has reduced the yield of all major cereals in Darchula district of Nepal. Keywords: Rainfall, yield, cereals, Darchula, Nepal Introduction Nepal is a small mountainous country situated on the southern slope of the Himalaya. Although it lies near the northern limit of the tropics, the climate varies from tropical in the southern plain area to polar and arctic in the high Himalaya due to intense north/south topographical variations (60 m in the south to 8848 m in the north) within a short horizontal distance of about 200 km.
