Laxmi Sunar Badiya of Gulariya-8 said that she rented land and planted pot farming after the organization helped her with seeds. She said that she planned to produce organic vegetables herself and eat them and sell the excess.
Balakram Lodh of Ashapur, Gulariya-8, who is currently earning an income by selling potatoes planted last October, said . ‘I am currently planting vegetables in the same field where I dug potatoes,’ he said, ‘I plan to grow vegetables by Baisakh to earn an income.’
With the aim of improving the livelihood of the poor and making them professional, the support of Caritas Nepal Italiana, the coordination of Gulariya Municipality and the Caritas Nepal Field Office have provided assistance in vegetable farming.
With the support of the Emergency Livelihood and Safe Housing Construction Project for Flood-affected Families, the locals here have been encouraged towards agriculture by providing free seeds, including necessary training and agricultural materials, said social worker Pooja Yadav.
