The main objective of the study is to analyze the loan disbursement pattern from ADBN, Bagar, Pokhara in the past 10 (during 2060/61-2069/70) years, to find out the rate of growth of disbursal for loan and changes in interest rate in animal husbandry and its responses from the farmers in and around Pokhara. This study was based on both Primary and Secondary Data. Primary data have been collected through the personal direct interview taken by the researcher herself. First, a set of questionnaires was formed based on the farmers' experience with loan from the bank and the occupation they are in. Later, the farmers were interviewed from the field or personal visits. For the data collection, ten households were selected.In this sampling,the farmers represented all three categories under animal husbandry i.e. cow/buffalo farming, pig farming and goat farming. Secondary data were taken from the bank itself. The data were based on the facts recorded during 2060/61 to 2069/70. The study has discovered that the average income of the farmers in sample was 69 thousand per month which was in class interval of 60-70 thousand and average saving was the 28 thousand per month. It was in class interval of 20-30 thousand. The farmers are not happy with the present heavy rate of interest and the risk they have in their occupation. They also expressed the problem created by the shortage of the workforce in animal husbandry. The data show that, during the year (2060-2069), the highest total loan disbursement of ADBN, Bagar was 176.35 million in 2064/65 and the lowest was 109.74 million in 2062/63. The highest loan disbursement in animal husbandry was 16.23 million (14.79%) in 2062/63 and lowest was 2.57 million (21.60%) in 2060/61.The highest growth rate of loan disbursement in animal husbandry was 214.8% in 2061/62.Similarly, the rate of interest for the loan in Animal husbandry was the highest in 2060/61 with 16% p.a. and it reached its lowest point in 2065/66 at 11%p.a. This growth in the disbursal in loan directly indicates the growth in the demand for loan from the bank. It is a good sign for the agricultural development in the country.The highest principal collection was 189.27 in 2062/63 and lowest was Rs.24.69 thousand in 2060/61. The highest interest collection was 39.92 thousand in the last year(2069/70) and the lowest was 5.48 thousand in the first year (2060/61). The low interest rate was encouraging the farmers in paying the interest in time.The repayment trend might have been affected by the socio-economic conditionof the farmers but the interest payment seems to directly move with the rate of interest.Yet, the bank has not been able to increase the total loan ratio for the animal husbandry in the way the loan amount has gone. In this regard, the bank needs to rethink upon the loan disbursement pattern if the importance of the animal husbandry is realized. The study has been able to point that the disbursal for loan for Cow/Buffalo farming is much higher than for Goat and Pig farming. The observation shows that pig and goat farming raise much concern about the pasture and the environment. This increase in interest for only one category of animal husbandry is also a reason behind the low flow of loan for this occupation in compared to other categories in the bank.Therefore, the concerned authorities should act out to address the issues of the farmers in time so that the country can benefit a lot from this occupation Date: June 3, 2014Item Socio-Economic Effects of Community Forestry in Rural Development (A Study of Kamadhenu Community Forest of Mechchhe VDC, Kavrepalanchok District)(Department of Economics, 2015) Budathoki, Moti BahadurNot availableItem Socio-Economic Impact of Poverty Alleviation Fund Programme (A Study of Sunarpani VDC, Ramechhap District)(Department of Rural Development, 2009) Thing, Kamal BahadurNepal is known as one of the poorest country. More than 49% of people are below the poverty line. For eradication of poverty different kinds of programme have been implemented. Before knowing the definition of development it is important to know the history of development. The history of planned development in Nepal goes back to 1950s. Tribhuvan Gram Bikash was established for this purpose in 1952. The concept of community development slowly emerged in our society. Shrestha defines community development as socially a village self help programme, in which people themselves, through their own village leaders, organizations and institutions are to have the opportunity of working together to improve all aspects of village life. The central and the state government are only to assist the progress. Poverty is a multi-dimensional and complex problem. The causes of poverty by analyzing different aspects of income and human poverty are not only economic but also social and technological backwardness too. One of the main causes of poverty is low economic growth rate. The stock taking of economic achievement of last three decades shows a lower economic growth rate of approximately 4 percent while annual population growth rate was about 2.5 percent. The per capita income growth rate at a very low level could not contribute to mitigate poverty significantly. This research is done in the contemporary issue related to the PAF.

Vultures mostly depend on the livestock carcass and the Vulture Safe Feeding Site (VSFS) was established for providing the diclofenac free carcass to the vultures. However, the sustainability of these VSFS in the future is unknown. This study counted the number of vultures of different species through direct count method, and estimated local people’s willingness to provide old livestock to the VSFS using a questionnaire survey. Vultures were counted during autumn and winter season and questionnaire survey was performed in 310 households that have livestock in the year 2022. Whiterumped vulture, Himalayan vulture, Egyptian vulture, Cinereous vulture and Slenderbilled vulture were observed in VSFS of Gaidahawa. Vulture abundance was higher during winter than it was during autumn. Out of the total households with livestock, very few (17%) respondents were willing to give their old livestock to VSFS. Nearly half of the respondents had positive attitude towards VSFS, however, respondents near to VSFS were comparatively unhappy towards the VSFS than the respondents living far from VSFS. Nearly half respondents mentioned the main cause of vulture population decline was due to food scarcity. This study assumed that the management of VSFS is poor in Gaidahawa, and in future the VSFS might have difficulty to get old livestock to sustain the vulture in the site. This study recommends that the VSFS needs to encourage local respondents to provide old livestock, raise awareness, provide transportation facility to carry livestock and make immediate management plan and policy for VSFS of Gaidahawa.
