The slogan includes Paddy Day

Paddy is the key crop in Nepal. Paddy is cultivated in 75 districts of the nation, besides Manang and Mustang. Paddy is cultivated 60 meters above sea level from Kachnakewal in Jhapa district to 3,050 meters above Humchaur in Jumla. Of the overall space in Nepal (47 p.c), paddy is being cultivated in an area of 1.47 million hectares. Out of which, paddy is cultivated in 70 p.c of the Terai, 25 p.c of the hills and 5 p.c of the excessive hills.

Although paddy is to be planted in massive and huge areas of the nation, the palms which have to carry a spade are compelled to fall in love with passports as they don't get high quality seeds, don't get fertilizer at the time of planting, and the nation's agricultural career doesn't feed the household. In the same way, paddy production has been going down because there aren't enough irrigation systems on land that can be farmed, because planting marmots hurts wild animals, because of wind, floods, landslides, pests, and other problems.

Only 5.13 million metric tons of paddy were produced in FY 2078/07, out of 56.21 million metric tons produced in FY 2077/07.In line with these statistics, paddy manufacturing declined to 491,085 metric tons in FY 2077/07 and 2078/07.

The state of affairs of the nation is deteriorating for the same reason that authorities chose nearly 20 years ago. We have been repeatedly celebrating the fifteenth of Asar as Paddy Day and the Sowing Pageant with numerous slogans. Celebrating any day or competition is not only for enjoyment; it ought to send a constructive message to society. Paddy Day is more than just playing in the mud and taking photos with a shovel at some point during the year; it should be viewed as a day of labor, from planting paddy to harvesting.The primary day of this karma is the fifteenth of Asar.

These days, even throughout the celebration of St. Patrick's Day, distortion is starting to enter. The day to be celebrated on the fifteenth of Asar has been celebrated for weeks. This appears to be a mockery of Paddy Day. We've crushed the 18-year-old Paddy Day and the Sowing Pageant a bit from the previous to the current. In this context, if we glance again at the slogans of the previous, we are able to see the state of paddy and agricultural manufacturing on the one hand and the state of affairs on the other. We celebrated Paddy Day with the slogan "the safety of agricultural land." Nevertheless, now the paddy fields have been subdivided into concrete construction and homes.

We took the slogan of accelerating paddy manufacturing. Nevertheless, within the first 9 months of this fiscal year, we purchased and ate more than Rs 40 billion of rice. This has pressured us to name it "Paddy Day." Agriculture has been taught that slogans don't work. However, we don't perceive it. We've been celebrating the day just for fun. Now an evaluation is required.

If we take a look at the slogans to this point, it appears that, evidently, the slogans of agriculture, on the one hand, and the state of affairs of farmers, on the other hand, have flowed the other way. The slogan seeks prosperity, and the rate of production has increased.Paddy manufacturing has declined. Farmers have gotten pissed off with karma. The state has not been capable of applying its faith. It has not been capable of formulating and implementing insurance policies and laws that are conducive to the capability of its farmers and the state of affairs within the nation.

As in years past, the Center for Development and Conservation of Agricultural Biodiversity and the National Science Research Center are putting on the nineteenth National Paddy Day and Sowing Pageant 2079. The theme of the event is "Use of Biodiversity in Paddy Cultivation, Help in Import Substitution," which is the same as the theme of the event in previous years.It's a welcome slogan if the slogan is to succeed in the minds of the farmers and comply with the trail taken by the farmers. Typically, we now have the behavior of creating slogans to digest disgrace. If we're making such slogans, we will need to think of the insurance policies and packages and fund statements introduced by the federal government as the idea. Even when it's not accepted, it ought to be accepted.

Within the funds speech of FY 2079/08, work will be taken ahead via Funding Board Nepal to ascertain chemical fertilizer manufacturing units utilizing inexperienced hydrogen and ammonia expertise, Rs. 15 billion for the purchase of chemical fertilizer, and encourage farmers to domesticate money crops. There's a provision to begin residue testing of sophisticated pesticides. Likewise, advertising and marketing of natural agricultural merchandise nationally and internationally by selling, certifying, and selling manufacturers; and conducting adaptive administration packages together with insurance coverage for danger discounts in agro-livestock and fisheries. The funds are just for the acquisition of chemical fertilizers. The funds don't communicate within the discipline of biodiversity.

Use of biodiversity is a farming system (cultural farming system) together with natural manure, herd enchancment, manure administration, ecological agro-organic manure and pesticide manufacturing and use, mountain water conditioning, assortment, and utilization of waste water, guaranteeing the proper lifetime of all animals. Is it not? However, what about insurance policies, packages, and budgets? Slogans ought to be worthy of contemplation, not for rumors but for actuality and implementation. It has to be significant.

The Significance of Paddy

In 1966, famine spread all over the world. To keep away from the famine, the United Nations thought rice to be 12 months outdated. Paddy was emphasised as the principal crop for 12 months with the slogan of liberation from starvation. The United Nations sees rice as probably the most appropriate meal to combat starvation. The principal objective of the United Nations, which was established to keep up peace and safety on the planet, is to emphasize on rice that human life will not be potential without meals. At the same time, rice became the staple meal of the world. Because of this, 90 percent of the rice that is grown and eaten is in Asia.

With the opening of roads in Nepal, access to ready-made sacks of rice has also increased.This has modified the way we eat in each nook of the nation. As a consequence, our conventional indigenous meals are disappearing. Even though it is good for your health and diet, like millet, chino, kaguno, and barley, it has been overshadowed by the rise of the rice culture.This has disturbed the biodiversity, whereas rice is used not just for meals but also for making alcoholic drinks, alcohol and animal feed.

Dimensions of self-reliant agriculture

At a time when expertise, expertise, agricultural infrastructure, funds, legal guidelines, and laws weren't in place, the ancestors managed to irrigate from their very own data and capability, based mostly on native assets. Eight rice export corporations have been established in Koshi, Sagarmatha, Narayani, Janakpur, Lumbini, and the Far West to export rice. At the moment, 55,000 metric tons of rice have been exported from Nepal to India, Bangladesh, and different international locations. This course continued for 7 years. Within the eighth year, rice started to be imported to Nepal dramatically, and by the tenth year, all eight corporations had been on the verge of closing down.

Why this occurred will not be studied in depth. On the surface, to hide the shame, the country's population grew and its people ate more. However, the land didn't get better, and farming under the traditional agricultural system decreased production and gave the country an excuse for not being able to export. The government couldn't understand how bad things were for the farmers and couldn't figure out what was going on. Coverage guidelines couldn't be made and carried out by farmers' pleasant, because they didn't know how to respect farmers. The method of rejoicing in the humiliation of the farmer acquired aid. This dissatisfied the farmers. Farmers' frustration means the nation's agricultural sector is pissed off. If the center of the doer is harmed, the doer of the deed won't prosper. It's ironic that the state, state operators, and repair suppliers do not need a constructive angle in the direction of those that take into account their deeds as faith. Self-proclaimed consultants and farmers are worthless because they don't know what their jobs are or how to do them. We ask

Because of this, within the first 9 months of this fiscal year 2078/07, the import of foodgrains has exceeded Rs. 60 billion. Paddy rice alone has been imported for more than Rs 40 billion. How much will it improve over the next 12 months? Now's the time for us to think coldly as a result of the nation's getting ready for a food disaster. The nation is being pushed in the direction of an enormous disaster. Seizing this chance, overseas powers have begun to salvage. It can't be stated that Nepal won't be an appropriate place to enjoy discipline for them. So you will need to discover a way to watch out. The answer now could be respect for agriculture. The existence of the doer of deeds is accepted. We should be capable of settling for existence, not fighting for it. For which it's essential to make the identical bag wherever it's good. And only then can we be self-reliant and make the nation self-reliant. To be self-reliant is to make the nation self-reliant.

With the help of 12 months of irrigation, it's essential to plan and implement chaite paddy manufacturing within the cultivable land. Farming ought to be inspired by the use of conventional data related to paddy manufacturing in addition to environmental and biodiversity conservation. To be able to respect agriculture, the ID of the farmer, the ID card should be based mostly on the farmer's classification, and it ought to be linked to social safety. It encourages farmers. It facilitates the implementation of focused packages by the state. makes good use of funding. The federal government should be held accountable for the product's assistance value, as well as general purchase processing and advertising and marketing. It's good to be related to Sowing Day, but the slogan solely is smart if its total worth chain is managed. Subsequently, Asar 15 ought to be taken as the primary day of the week.
