Sita Bahadur Chepang has a habit of joking. "This wheeled genius also came to the village riding on our shoulders," he said with a laugh. About to turn 60, he is the president of Miteri Farmers Group. This farmer group got a hand tractor (mini tiller) for plowing the field from the Agricultural Development Office, Bharatpur. Locals were forced to carry this device for plowing the fields by walking.

Although it is in Rapti municipality-13, the motor road from Kanda village is far away. That is why the wheeled device did not even move but climbed on the shoulders of the locals and finally reached the village .

Bhandara Bazar is 22 km from the headquarters Bharatpur. From Bhandara on the east-west highway, you have to go north to reach Kanda. From Bhandara, Kalitar can be reached in one and a half hours by car through a rough mountain road passing through some pitches and some unpaved roads. After disembarking from the car in Kalitar, one and a half hours of walking up and down the narrow road, you will reach Kanda.

There are only about 100 houses of marginalized tribal Chepang community in Kanda, a remote hilly village of the district. Chepang doesn't seem to care much about the government. But this time, even though we did not believe when we heard the news that we were getting a tractor for plowing the field, it was brought today," Chepang said .

Kandabasi carried the power tiller on a bamboo knoll and took it to the village after reaching Kalitar on Friday in a jeep carrying the same. He had to walk very cautiously because of the narrow leg, his feet were slipping in places. Nol was carried by two people on his shoulders, but he walked with two more youths on the left and right. If there was a sign that something was going to fall or that something was difficult, they would run to catch the machine . Walking very carefully, they took the tractor to the village on Saturday morning.

He heard about the information that the Agriculture Development Office will provide various agricultural implements to the farmers through subsidy, through the headmaster of the local Kandeshwari Basic School, Balkrishna Thapalia. As the custom of keeping gaigoru is disappearing in the village, the fields are more suitable for plowing . The corn planted with a spade does not thrive very well. Therefore, good and modern plowing tools were needed in the village. But even though he was told that he could get a hand tractor with subsidy in the notification, he could not dare. Half of the subsidy will be given for tractors worth 60,000. It was decided where else to get it from,' he said .

Even though the farmer group worked in the village, there was not enough money to spend half of the grant amount in the fund . Yagya Vilas Paudel (YB), principal and owner of Central College of Narayangadh, was ready to spend half of the amount after getting information about this problem. "This is the first time such a large device came to our village," said Chepang. It was Yajavilas who reached Kanda to explain the power tiller. Sita Bahadur welcomed him by giving him a big-celled banana of the Raithane breed . There are also young people in the village who have knowledge about power tillers.
