An international training on land damage reduction, prevention and damage survey from natural disasters has started in Dhulikhel, Kavre from Tuesday.

The 'Summer School on Climate Responsive Land Governance' training on land conservation and post-disaster land damage survey and damage reduction, involving representatives from the government and non-government sectors of Nepal, India, Australia and Myanmar, has started at the Land Management Training Center under the Ministry of Land Management, Cooperatives and Poverty Alleviation in Dhulikhel.

According to the center's Executive Director and Joint Secretary Janakraj Joshi, there are 10 foreigners and 13 Nepalis in the training. The training includes trainers/trainees from the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, Survey, Land Revenue and Land Commission, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu University, the United Nations Agency for Sustainable Urban Development and Human Settlements 'UN-Habitat', the University of Melbourne in Australia, among others, the center has stated.

Executive Director Joshi comments that everyone talks about land rights, ownership and land use, but the impact of the environment on the land is not taken seriously, which has led to unimaginable damage every year.

Not only from Nepal but also from abroad, understanding its importance, trainers/trainees have come, and this is the first time that an international training center of this level has organized the training. Four trainers and trainees each from India, one trainer from Australia, one trainee from Myanmar, and representatives from various regions of Nepal are participating in the training as trainers and trainees.

He says that considering the major natural disasters such as the Jure and Melamchi floods in Sindhupalchowk and Roshi floods in Kavre, the flood in the Nakkhu River in Kathmandu last year, the Koshi flood in 2065, and the damage caused to the land and its long-term effects, in-depth discussions have not been held.
