Item Assessment of Climate Smart Agriculture: Study on Rapti Municipality-11, Korak, Chitwan, Nepal(Central Department of Rural Development, 2019) Paudel, Bibek RajThe Global warming has struck the agriculture sector the most and has impacted in its production. The agricultural production and productivity have been depleting in the present days. For tackling the changing climatic condition and increase the production of agricultural goods, Climate Smart Agriculture has been introduced. This is a new practice where people try to adapt their pre-existing agriculture practice in the changing environment. The topic Assessment of Climate Smart Agriculture- A study on Rapti Municipality, Korak, Chitwan, Nepal has been prepared to analyze what change does a Climate Smart Agriculture practice brings in livelihood of the people as well as environment. For addressing the basic objective, three specific objectives are developed that include the assessment of socio-economic status of Climate Smart Agriculture practitioners in marginalized people of study area, evaluation of effectiveness of Climate Smart Agriculture practice (leasehold forestry) in the study area and analyze different practices under Climate Smart Agriculture practices in context of study area. For the conduction of this research, Katlekhola has been considered as the census as all of the population under 10 households living in Katlekhola leased forest user group has been considered as the respondent of this research. Both qualitative and quantitative data has been collected for conduction of this research with the help of both primary as well as secondary source. For the collection of data from primary source, Key Informant Interview, Focused Group Discussion, Interview as well as survey has been taken. In the study of leased forest user group of Katlekhola, the leasehold forestry has been playing a major role in changing the lifestyle of the people. The people were found to have uncovered a new dimension of economy as well as social development through the use of leasehold forestry. Not only the use of leasehold forestry, the people have been found to be using other CSA techniques that has helped them in making their life easier than before. After the introduction of leasehold forestry, the people had been profited to some extend but the profit that they received was not extra-ordinary. In terms of their socio-economic status, they have new dimension for economic earning as well as they have been able to uplift their social life to some extent. But the upliftment is not too overwhelming. Talking about the effectiveness in the leasehold forests, the forest area has grown more denser and thicker and greener. The marginalized people with the motive to sustainable management of the forest area has made an impression that if the right to use and care is given at the same time, the sense of parenthood is established in people this managing the property that they are given for use. Lastly, in terms of application of other Climate Smart Agriculture practice in the study area, plastic pond and multi water use system is more prevalent as these are the best way to adopt to the changing climate. With the change in climate, the scarcity of water has not only impacted in desertification, it has also impacted in day-to-day activities among the peoples. So, the two used methods of climate smart agriculture are suitable in-terms of the study area. Other than the two, vertical farming can be one of the most favorable method that can be followed. With the sloppy terrain and with limited water resource, vertical farming can be a boon for farming to the farmers as well as general population of the area. So, the idea of climate smart agriculture is a major breakthrough in adapting the changing climate. Despite the fact that the practices don’t have a fast and great impact in the livelihood of the people, it has the capacity to make a great deal of impact in the long run. Other than the adaptation, this can also help in mitigation of the climate change. As of leasehold forestry, when the forest area is grown more denser and greener, the capacity to soak up carbon dioxide present in atmosphere greatly increases. This increased capacity of the forest area helps in decreasing the rate of global warming as it helps in carbon sequestration and helps to complete the carbon cycle. The main problem of the present time, global warming, can be solved if the climate smart technique is used appropriately and more smartly (conduction of research to find out what kind of activity can be done and is appropriate in what type of places).Item Ethnobotany and Antibacterial Activities of Selected Medicinal Plants of Nepal Himalaya(Department of Botany, 2009) Bhattarai, ShandeshThis study aims to explore medicinal plants from Manang and Mustang districts and examine their antibacterial activity in vitro against different strains of microorganisms. Field information was gathered by direct observation of locals through semi-structured interviews and information regarding the bioassay test was obtained through laboratory research. A total of 157 ethnomedicinal plant species belonging to 56 families and 114 genera are reported from the study area. These 157 locally used medicinal plants treat 150 ailments. This study found that many different parts of medicinal plant species are used as medicine. It would follow that the most commonly used plant parts have been selected because they contain more active principles in the form of biologically active secondary metabolites in comparison to the least commonly used parts. Of 157 medicinal plants documented, 88 plants were used for multiple uses, such as for food, fence and fuelwood, ritual and religious, and others. Several medicinal plants, i.e., Allium species, Hippophae species, etc., with multiple uses have great medicinal value and high market price even in Kathmandu and Pokhara. Even though the market price of these species has been increasing steadily, the local consumption has not yet decreased. Therefore further bioprospecting research on these species could help with the conservation and management of these local resources as well perhaps benefits the local people economically. In vitro antibacterial assays of 92 extracts from 79 ethnomedicinal plants used to treat diseases potentially caused by bacteria were examined. Overall, 73 % of plant extracts showed activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis, and 69 % showed activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Although the nature and number of active antibacterial principles involved in each extracts are not clear, the broad spectrum of activity of several plants is promising. Thirty-three selected plant species were extracted with methanol, dichloromethane and hexane, resulting in a crude separation of the chemical components into groups of varying polarity. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of these extracts against the same bacterial species was obtained, and gives insight into the chemical nature of the biologically active constituents. The strong activity of the highly non-polar hexane extracts (shown by the low MIC values) indicates that the bioactive chemical(s) of those plant species was best extracted in non-polar solvent, and therefore was likely to be non-polar as well. Altogether 39 medicinal plants were prioritized and categorised as high, moderate or low priority in Manang and Mustang districts. Among the 39 prioritized species selected, 8 species were high priority, 29 were moderate priority, and 7 species were low priority. Bulk amounts of medicinal plant trade is seen from Manang and Mustang and if the process of trading of important medicinal plants continues on this scale for several years, species such as Cordyceps sinensis, Dactylorhiza hatagirea, etc, will become increasingly rare. Therefore I suggest immediate steps of cultivation of these species in the barren lands and use of sustainable harvesting approaches which may be helpful to conserve these species as well as othere wild plant resources in their natural habitats. In conclusion, this survey has shown that the local populations of Manang and Mustang districts have a wide knowledge on the use of wild plants for various purposes, including medicinal, food, fuelwood, fence, fodder, timber, household article, ritual, religious, etc. The present laboratory work lends support to the claims by traditional medicinal healers regarding the biological usefulness of the above plants. The antibacterial activities of the plants often explain their use by the local communityItem Farmers’ Interpretation of Climate Change and Their Coping Mechanism: A Study of Crops-Weather Interaction in Hilly Village of Nepal(Central Department of Sociology and Anthropology, 2013) Rimal, PrakashNot AvailableItem A Gender Perspective Analysis of participation in Community Forest (A Case Study of Bhirpati Community Forest of khaira Vdc in Pyuthan District)(Department of Rural Development, 2008) Acharya, Ram KrishnaThe Research study is on the burning issue of Community Forestry Programwithfocus on gender participation in community forest. The Community ForestryProgramis handled through local users known as forest user group. The main problem of thestudy is unequal gender participation in forest related activities, because of the socialand cultural factors. This has raised problematic issue in community forestry for itscontinuity and sustainability. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in depth study onthe issue of equal gender participation in community forest program. The researchtopic is particularly based on the problems of community forestryprogram,which is“A Gender Perspective Analysis of Participation in Community Forest (A CaseStudy of Bhirpeti Community Forest of Khaira VDC of Pyuthan District)” The objectives of the study were: to examine the level of participation of men andwomen in forestrelated activities like executive committee, group meeting, trainings,Protection and collection of forest products and management work; to find out thefactors affecting their level of participation; to trace out the attitude of men towardswomen in participation; and to assess the impact of the community forestprogramofKhaira VDC. To meet the objectives of the study, primary and secondary data werecollected from the field visit as well as from various publications. The data wereanalyzed descriptivelyand analytically. In Bhirpeti community forest, Chhetri caste is dominating user group where as otherDalit and ethnic groups are in minority. Women participation in management,protection, and utilization of forest products is higher than men but their participationis less in planning, decision-making, monitoring and evaluation process (e.g. groupmeetings, general assemblies and training, Seminar). Poverty, illiteracy, social value and norms and others are hindering factors in activeparticipation of people in community forestry. Women users have had grievanceabout increased extra work load and partiality attitude of men towards women forequal opportunities in all forest related activities. The study found out that womenhave increased extra workload of forest management and household chores, whicheven keeps them busy. Therefore, there must be clear policy of equity and equality inforest related activities with balance participation in CF constitution. In overall thestudied, the community forest was found a model forest with the active participationof users. Some major changes in community forest should be made to improvebalance in participation of all level in community forestry.Item GENERAL BEHAVIOUR AND MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF SPOTTED DEER [Axis axis, Erxleben, 1777] AT MRIGASTHALI (DEER PARK), KATHMANDU, NEPAL.(Central Department of Zoology, 2015) Baral, NarayanThe Mrigasthali deer park, situated in the Pashupati World Heritage Site, at a distance on 5km, northeast of Kathmandu, Gaushala. The general behavior and management practices of the most attractive mammal spotted deer (Axis axis) at Mrigasthali deer park, Kathmandu, was studied by direct observation, survey, focal and scan sampling, questionnaire, interviews and discussion method to meet the objectives of the study. The field work was conducted between March 2014 to January 2015 to explore the general behaviour with diurnal activities and management practices in Mrigasthali. The social organization of the spotted deer were loose aggregation which could be changed by climatic, food and disturbances factor. The most common herds were mixed herds followed by female-fawn herd and breeding herds. The male herds, isolated male/female herds were occasionally seen. Spotted deer are true grazers and seasonal browser. They preferred supplementary food given by caretaker on feeding. Long range of vision, high capacity of escape and greater sensitivity and alertness towards danger were major defense measures from their predators. The adult and dominant male showed dominancy towards both territorial and sexual behaviour. The feeding was peaked up in the evening, they took rest under trees-shade during the mid-day of April. Feeding was the most common diurnal activity followed by walking, resting, alert and other activities like chasing, sparring, mounting, suckling etc. The management practices of spotted deer done in the Mrigasthali were fencing, water hole construction, plantation and non-palatable species removal. Therefore, provision of artificial water holes, expand area, increase plantation, effective implementation of facilities provided by PADT are the main recommendation of this study for the better management of the spotted deer in Mrigasthali. This study shows that by knowing general behavior of any species, management of the species can be enhancedItem Impact of Barsey Rhododendron Sanctuary Insurrounding Communities A Case Study of the Singling GPU, West Sikkim, India(Department of Geography, 2008) Rai, RoshanNot availableItem Local Development Planning Process in Nepal (A Study on Formulation and Implementation of Annual District Development Plan of Bajura District)(Department of Rural Development, 2010) Rawat, Ram BahadurThe overall development system of nation depends upon the decentralization development planning in Nepal. The local development is grass root development plan and District Development plan is a bridge between grassroots plan and national development plan. District development plan seem to be theoretically decentralized plan considered one of the prime move for grassroots level development in Nepal. The backward society couldn't participation in real planning process. The legal producers in the case of Nepal are not inadequate especially in the theory and practice in decentralized participatory planning process. Thus this study report tries to review the practices, problems, prospects and coordination mechanism in formulation and implementation participatory development planning process based on Bajura District. The objectives of this study is to study the local development planning process in DDC of Bajura District, to study the involvement of non-governmental organization and private sector in participatory planning process of DDC, to examine the existing practices, to analyze the policy related issues to the planning process in DDC, to study the involvement and role of INGOs, NGO, donor agencies and private in participatory planning process. It is a mainly for academic propose. For this study the literature review has been done under two categories, the conceptual review and review of empirical study. For this study different books, journals, previous research work, reports plans polices, acts, articles and newspapers etc. related to this study has been reviews. It reviews the complex system governmental and quasi- governmental relations at local level in Nepal. It embraces an assessment of the appropriateness of the existing institutional and financial arrangement for promoting local self-governance, self reliance and people participation in accordance with announced government policies. The study has been limited in only one local development planning and on only one Bajura district. This study has been foundation based on field survey, it studies the primary and secondary sources information also has been used form appropriate sources. Local NGOs staffs, line agencies staffs, DDC officials, key informants, members of civil society, political party, local development planners, and other intellectual interviewee's structured, unstructured and open ended questionnaire have been used in collected primary sources of field survey. Similarly many reverent secondary sources of information from library related offices, research cents, and websites have been used during secondary information collection. The study area has been selected through theoretically the study area is enclosed under the framework of participatory planning process of local development, physically the study area has been selected in Bajura district, the Headquarter of "Martadi" is around 120 Km far from Dipayal (Headhunter of far western Development region).It covers the area of 2188 square Kms with population 108781. It has only one electoral constituency, 9 Ilakas, and encompasses 27 VDCs. Achhham and Kalikot district is in south, Humla is in North, Mugu and Kalikot is in east side and Bajhang is in west neighboring districts of this district. Participatory local development panning requires the broad participation of each development stakeholders in plan formulating and implementing. The local development planning without popular participation results the unsustainable development even hampers the practice of decentralization. The broad participation of responsible local development stockholders, local bodies, and district based line agencies, local and national NGOs, donor agencies, private sector and civil society and political parties. Their involvement in common form common agenda local development planning could be possible through good coordination among them at local level. During the field survey interaction with DDC ex members, DDC officials, NGOs staffs, line agencies officials, private sectors in Bajura the overall problems in regards with local development planning at district level identified were found which is lack of strong coordination mechanism among all development stakeholders in bottom-up planning practice. There is another problem that government grant is inadequate for local development activities. Similarly final selection of program and final ceiling of budget from center level is the main constraint for local development planning, many respondents argued to influence this condition. This study finds that private sectors seem highly profit oriented; however they are concentrating to the development work at present days then they were before, programs supervision; monitoring and evaluation aspect is very in this district. Analyzing the collective measures of district level government for decentralized planning the study concludes that per-planning homework has been performed in order to make the planning bottom up and to involved development stakeholders in local level planning process of district. DDC has been given vaguely defined powers to undertake planning directly coordination and settle disputes. According to the LSGA 1999, the DDC should concentrate on planning and coordination rather then directly involvement implementing the development activities. The district based line agencies which are under the umbrella off DDC planning needs to conduct the feasibility study and proposed the plan to DDC in timely. Wonderfully some district line agencies which should have most trained staffs, have less percent of the trained staffs in total. The isolated activities of the responsible authorities for local development leads program duplication and gap in panning. This study has found planning of NGOs is well but their implementation is not sustainable. It is because they are highly influenced by local bodies in the local development program. Generally DDC is responsible that coordinate its development partners in its planning mainstream. In either mode NGOs might be supportive for decentralized development. However most of the programs launched by NGOs and line agencies are duplication. This study has also identified that less percent of NGOs are involved in line agencies plan implementation. The budget once relished is also reduced time to time a fiscal year. The financial accountability remains questionable in the case of user's committee and service providers. The project implemented by local is service provider is submitted to users committee between the agreement of users' committee head treasurer, technician and local service providers which causes the financial mismanagement. In this context present study has given some recommendation for local level planning especially for district development. For sustainable development and strengthen the local governance, local election for the government should be necessary. If it is not possible, then there should be appointment of the one committee from representatives of all the political parties, civil society and different organization who are concerning to the local governance for wellbeing the overall development of district. The DDC should be fully authorized to select its plan and allocate the budget finally. Subjective resources should be provided to local bodies in order that they could implement the local development program directly. Ilaka level plan formulation should be strong and effective. Private sector should be integrated DDC umbrella in plan formulation. DCC should be strong mechanism coordination, monitoring and evaluation the district level committee to check their work performance. Weak financial management at local level cases the whole planning process fail. Thus the DDC should be select the most transparent agencies and make provision to reward themItem Local perception on and adaptation to climate change(Central Department of Sociology /Anthropology Tribhuvan University Katmandu, Nepal, 2010-09) Poudel, PrakashNot availableItem Mountain Tourism in Nepal A Case Study of Khaptad National Park(Department of Rural Development, 2009) Upadhyaya, Nir Hari PrasadTravel Tourism is an ancient phenomenon, and it has advanced with thedevelopment of civilization. In the beginning, travelers used to move forvarious purposes including social interaction, pilgrimage education andtrade. The concept of modern tourism came into being in the second halfof the nineteenth century. In spite of its long history, tourism isconsidered as of relatively modern origin. Travel (Tourism) is now thelargest industry in the world, generating around US Dollar 3 trillion peryear as total revenue. The number of international tourist arrivals world wide has grown nearly twenty five times in the last 50 years reaching 500 million tourists a year. In 1998, there were approximately 455 billioninternational tourists. They spent some 225 billion US dollar, whichamounted about 5.5 percent of the total international trade. It isestimated that by the year 2010, tourist number will reach to a level of937 million. Tourism therefore is an emerging industry all over theworld. Nepal is a landlocked country. Though tourism industry covers25% share of revenue collection is not old in Nepal, Tourist formallybegan in Nepal after 1950s. The development of tourism accelerated inNepal after the establishment of Nepal tourism committee in 1970,1 andNepal tourism master plan was prepare in 1972. The Ministry of Tourismwas established by HMG in 1973. Today, tourism has taken the shape ofa smokeless industry in Nepal. Tourism is the most important industry in the world. It covers 50 percentrevenue collection. It is a serious industry and consists all those firins,organizations and facilities, which are intended to serve the specificneeds and wants of the tourist. Khaptad National Park is situated at the cross point of Bajhang, Bajura,Achham and Doti districts. It has a core area of 225 square kilometres.The boundary of the four districts meets at Chadipatan, which is locatedat the centre. Khaptad is rich for a wide range of flora and fauna. Scenicbeauty, pleasant climate, vegetation, flora and fauna and socio culturalheritage including Khaptad Baba's hermitage are the basic attractionsfor tourism in KNP area. Alpine forests, 220 species of birds 40 speciesof wild life, 567 types of flowering plants and 400 herbal plants. KNParea is rich in socio cultural resources of tourism. The Ashram ofKhaptad swami is a famous spiritual site. The hermitage of the lateKhaptad swami (Baba) is preserved in "core zone" of KNP. All thevisitors of KNP usually visit the hermitage and experience the spirit andthe power of the place. During 1993 only 24 tourists were recorded as visitors to the area,whereas in 2003 they were only 30 in record. Hotel and lodge facilities have been slowly developing in KNP area. Only20 Hotels were counted during the field survey. Bajhang district consistsof 60 percent hotels followed 10 percent hotel run in Doti 85 percent ofthe hoteliers are males and 60 percent of them are literate. According to the official record of Khaptad National Park, the grazingdensity of cattle was 12 cattle per square Kilometer. Revenue collected-from different activities and services of the park amounted Rs. 91733during the fiscal year 2000/2001 Local people complained that the wildanimals of the park damaged their crops and they have faced the problemof grass and-firewood.Item Nature, Culture and the Adaptation of the Yakkhas An Ecological-Anthropological Case Study(Department of Anthropology, 2011) Rai, ArjunNot AvailableItem Recurrent Neural Network Based Forecasting of Crop Production in Nepal(Pulchowk Campus, 2018-11) Joshi, SurendraIn this study, Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) model was used for predicting Rice crop production in Nepal using climatic and fertilizer variables. The climatic variables used were Maximum Temperature, Minimum Temperature, Morning Humidity, Evening Humidity and Rainfall and Ecological Regions and fertilizer variables were Nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium and Compost. When the model was trained on 70% of data and tested on 30% of the data, the accuracy of the model was 81% for predicting the production. When tested on year 2016, accuracy of the model was 81.33% and for year 2017, the accuracy of the model was 73.33%. While GRU was compared with baseline Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with same architecture for Siraha district, it performed better than baseline ANN. But when input variables were increased, it performed even better. This proved that GRU can be used for optimal prediction of Rice crop in Nepal.Item Role of Community Managed Forest on the Upliftment of People's Living Standard: (A Case Study of Badahare Patal Community Forestry User Group, Lamjung District)(Department of Rural Development, 2008) Neupane, KiranThe study entitled ''Role of People Managed Forest on the Upliftment of People's Living Standard: A Case Study of Badahare Patal Forest User Group in Jita VDC of Lamjung District'' done in the issues of socio-economic status of Badahare Patal Forest User Group, people's participation in community forest management & factors affecting to people's participation. Community forest is the people's participatory approach in whichthe local users of the forest are involved in planning, development, protection, productionand use of forest resources. The concept of CF came into practice in Nepal in the lateseventies (1978). At present, the CF programme is launched in most of the parts of Nepal. Community forestry is people oriented forest program in Nepal. The effectiveness of CFin relation to people's participation is very crucial. Still, the primary forest user group(women) is not participatedproperly in the CFM. This study focused on the participationof people in decision making, implementation, monitoring & evaluation and benefitsharing, effecting factors relation to people's participation in CFM. To fulfill theseobjectives, Badahare Patal Community Forest of Jita VDC of Lamjung district wasselected as study area. Badahare Patal Forest Grouphas 94 households,among them29households i.e. 30 percent households were selected as sample unitschoosing by simplerandom sampling without replacement method. To meet the objectives of the study,primary & secondary data were collected from the field survey. These data are analyzeddescriptively & analytically with the help of computer software programme. The study has showed that the community forest is dominant by Brahmin castes (53.35percent) followed by 11.16 percent Kami, 9.08 percent Damai and 7.59 percent Sarki. So,Brahmin has occupied vital posts of committee members. The educational status of therespondents was not seen satisfactory, only 24.14 percent female respondents areliterate. 25 households have very little amount of Bari from which they could producethemselves food for only six months. 31.03 percent of the households are directly v engaged in traditional agriculture and 6.9 percent households are participating in smallbusiness besides agriculture. The study has revealed that 31.02 percent people are strongly agree on the statement fuelwood is more sufficiently available after CF. 44.83 percent people are agreed on timberismore sufficiently than before. Most of the people are agreed on the statement aboutquality of fodder has improved. 15.38 percent of female are strongly agree on thestatement forest product is less time consuming and 34.14 percent of female are agree onthe statement on the process of forest product collection is easier than before. Most ofthe male (46.15 percent) are agree on the statement agriculture implements are moresufficiently than before. While taking the increasing population of wild animals due tocommunity forestry, 86.78 (92.31 percent female) percent people are strongly agreed onthis statement. 76.92 percent of the female are strongly agree on the statementenvironmental quality has been maintained due to formation of community forest. The study has revealed that the involvement of people in CFM is limited. Access ofordinary people in decision making is found lower. Women's participation in FUGgeneral assemblies & regular meetings was not active & decisive. It was found that fromthe FUG record, only 25 percent of female are actively participate in general andregular meetings. Only 35.58 percent people are strongly agree on the statement womenare to be encouraged to participate in CF activities.But in the case of benefit sharingaccess of both sexes was found almost equal. There is no gender based forest resourcedistribution system. Only Executive Committee members take part in monitoring andevaluation aspect. Women EC members was less active in vital discussion & in takingdecision. The educational level was found influential factor in active participation. Thepeople who are less participate & are less active are found less aware & less motivated.Lower caste users are far behind in participation in CF activities.Therefore, trainingshould be conducted to make active to all users for higher participation. In overall, thisCF was found a moderate condition but, some major changes should be made to improvepeople's participation in Community forestry management & development.Item Socio-Cultural Change in Kumal Community (A Case Study of Torbang VDC Ward No. 7, Pyuthan)(Department of Sociology and Anthropology, 2008) K.C., Uttam KumarNot availableItem Socio-Economic Impact of Yak/Chauri Farming (A Case Study ofthe Farmers of Dhunche Milk Collection Centre Dikharka under Gosaikund Cheese Factory, Chandabari, Rasuwa)(Department of Rural Development, 2009) Sherpa, Nirmal JangYak is a male animal found in Himali region in the world. This animal has"Big Head" long flur and long tail inhabited in the mountainous region of Nepal which is known by 'Yakpu' in local language. It is also theeye-touching and rareanimal of the world. Moreover, the various production activities are renownedby'Yak Brands' like 'Yak Churot',Yak and Yati Hotel etc. Yaks are considered as thenational identity of Nepal which is proved by the Rs. 5 note with the yaks figure.After crossing the breed between yaks and Himali local cows the newly born female kind of these very cows are the Chauris (Jumu) and male by 'Jhopa'. Chauris are thehigh value animal which provide the sufficient nutrientproducts such as cheese, Durkha, Gheeetc. These products are not restricted inNepal only due to the world market has been dominated by the products ofChauris. Considering this fact, Nepal has also established a 'Yak Development farm' in Syanboche of Solukhumbu district in 2030 B.S. Most of the Europeancountries have initiated the various conservation measures for Chauris species. Inthe context of Nepal, government has not launched the any specific measures forthe promotion and conservation of this farming even though this farming has dominated the daily livelihoods in high land of Nepal. This research study has attempted to inquire the role of Chauri/Yak farming for the economic development of the surrounding of the Dhunche VDC, Rasuwa.As we know that, most of the Himali districts of Nepal have the pasturel and resources as major natural resources and Chauris/Yaks rearing is the mainoccupation of this sites. In respect to the study area, there are 48 gothsholder farmers of Chauris out of which 16 holders were taken as sample study due to the homogenous backgrounds. Since, this is an exploratory research it had gotsuccess to conclude that Chauris/Yaks farming is the only one option of this areato kick out the flaws of underdevelopment. V Out of the total 16 surveyed goth holders, it was found that 31 percent hadtaken this business because of their ancestorial backgrounds. It was dominated byreligious factors i.e. 38 percent due to Chauri's ghee need to satisfy variouscultural ceremonies. In case of daily selling of Chauris/Yaks milk, 38 percent out ofthe total sold 21-30 liters. The local Chauris/Yaks holders have been rearing not less than 10Chauris/Yaks. It sheds light that behind the high cost tobuy these animals, peopleof this are have been taking it as a primary occupation. The researcher had foundthat, this farming provided the double benefits as the pastureland management and economic prosperity of this area. That is why, the government and its alliedagencies should have to initiate different supportive measures as insurance,vetinery facilities, world wide marketing, Chauri/Yaks research Centre and genepool etc for the conservation of the culturally attached Chauris/Yaksfarming.
