A women in field. Source: Google Nepal is an agricultural country where more than 75% people have dependency on agriculture. Nation's development seems impossible without the revolution on agriculture, though, the agriculture profession is considered to be low class profession in the society. Beside this, there is a challenge for government of Nepal to reduce the muscle and brain drain from the country by employing the youths in country itself. With the vision of nation's sustainable development , Government of Nepal has taken many initiative to encourage farmers in sustainable farming. Recently, Nepal Government declared to award the best farmers annually from district, regional and national level with "President topmost farmers award" from coming year. Those innovative and best farmers will be awarded with some money and certificate by the President of Nepal. The award will be provided on different sector like cereal farming, oilseed farming, olericulture, floriculture, spicy crop farming , livestock farming, etc. This initiative is supposed to encourage and motivate farmers for continuation of their profession with the feeling of respect on society and other youths to use their mental and physical labor in country itself. Such type of initiative are really of great need in the developing country like Nepal for a sustainable development of the country . Source:

Thank you for sharing, Ishwora :) about 5~10 years ago, recognition on agriculture in Korea was not much different with Nepal's. But now, many things changed. We see millionaire farmers everyday. They make a good deal of money using creative and innovative methods. Nepal will soon follow this trend for sure.
So, let's be positive for the future of Nepal's agriculture!

thank you everyone for going through my article. @ franscisca you are right, Nepal and tanzania are agriculture based country whose progress is impossible without progress in agriculture. Similar is the case with most of the developing countries in the world.

your experience in Nepal is not so different from Tanzania. in Tanzania 80% of the population depends in agriculture, and agriculture is also the backbone of our economy, we also see development as almost an impossible thing, but just like Nepal the government of Tanzania has started various initiatives, programs, and schemes that aim at helping both small scale and large scale farmers to increase production and boost our economy
