IFAD/MoICS: Commercialization of Agriculture Reintegrates and Retunes Migrants
With technical skills, knowledge, and grant support for purchasing tunnels, seeds, and fertilizers provided by the Rural Enterprise and Remittance Project (RERP) SAMRIDDHI, a joint initiative of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Supply (MoICS), returnee migrants from Urleni, Ward 14 of Diktel-Rupakot-Majuwagadhi Municipality in the Khotang district are transforming their living standards. With women taking on leadership roles, these returnees are now earning more income than they did in foreign employment. At a time when the Nepalese government is seeking ways to reintegrate returnee migrants into society, the lessons learned from RERP in Khotang offer a viable solution. Migrants, who had left Nepal with a bleak future and subsistence-based agricultural practices, are now benefiting from RERP’s on-farm program. Implemented in the Koshi, Madhesh, and Bagmati provinces, this program demonstrates how the commercialization of agriculture can reintegrate returnees, enhancing their income and living standards.

ENERGY TRANSITION: Nepal's LPG Import Decline
The decrease in Nepal's LPG imports can be attributed to the enhancement of electricity supply. The recent commissioning of the 400 kV Inaruwa-Dhalkebar transmission line by the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), along with the ongoing progress in the Dhalkebar-Hetauda section, is set to improve the overall power supply quality in the nation. Consequently, the import of LPG, which began two years ago, is anticipated to witness a further decline in the upcoming year.
