Agricultural scheme encourages people to take up farming in Syangja’s Phedikhola

The programme was introduced to support jobless people during the Covid-19 lockdown, now the local government plans to continue it.

Sita Sunar has been involved in farming since the government enforced a nationwide lockdown to contain the coronavirus spread in March. She and her family members have been growing various food grains and vegetables on 15 ropanies of land leased from neighbours.
