Abstract:

The Tharu are a culturally diverse ethnic group that inhabit the Tarai of Nepal, whose culture shifts from being more ‘tribe’-like to being more ‘caste’-like on a west to east continuum. I focus on one district in the Nepal Tarai, Chitwan, to show that this continuum, which indexes certain cultural attributes, can be explained by ecological, geographical, and historical facts that have differentially shaped the relation between different areas of the Tarai to the states that encompassed them. Although Chitwan lies on the border between Nepal and India, the major socio-cultural influences that

Dowry system is a burning issue in the Nepalese and Indian society. In Nepal, dowry practice is more prevalent in the Tarai region in the border areas between Nepal and India. Dowry practice has been found mostly in higher caste and higher educated family of Madheshi people. Among them Yadav and Sah Caste has its higher and higher practices. They have been found to giving continuity of dowry to main social prestige and can't leave the social cultures that have strongly rooted in Madheshi community.

Nepal has been experiencing an increasing volume of internal and international migration as well as an increasing incidence of the reported statistics of Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV).

In contrast, the recent migration stream seems a reverse direction from the lowlands to the highlands in accordance with the census figure of 2011

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) is an important winter vegetable crop in Central Tarai. As compared to India (25 t/ha), the productivity of this crop in this area is quite low (17 t/ha).

Ten tomato cultivars, 3 released check cultivars (Pusa ruby and CL-1131 open pollinated and Srijana hybrid cultivar), 7 superior cultivars from Initial Evaluation Trial in the past were planted in November 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2010 at RARS Parwanipur in rice-

Improvement in agriculture is crucial for the food security of growing population. Land efficiency is enlightened by crop production in terms of yield per unit of land. Spatial assessment of agricultural productivity highlighted to explore the relation of the land structure and complexity on production through efficiency measurement of farmers. The present paper attempts to assess the spatial performance of agriculture productivity by the districts in the Tarai region of Nepal.

Abstract:

Monsoon floods are frequent in the Tarai region of Nepal and claim thousands of lives and substantial numbers of properties every year. Certain human activities are more affected than others in the case of the same hazard. This study analyzes vulnerability to flooding among Tharu households. Data were collected by employing household surveys, group discussions, and key informant interviews in the Thapapur Village Development Committee (VDC) of Kailali district, western Tarai, Nepal. The analysis presented in this study is based on the theory that underpins the pressure and release (PAR) and ac

Background: Groundwater is the main source of drinking water in the Tarai region of Nepal. Analysis of arsenic contaminated groundwater of 287 tube wells and nutrition level of the rural communities of Bagahi village, Rautahat district, Tarai region has been performed. Methods: Altogether 538 households have access to the tube wells’ water for consumption. Results: About 6% of the total tested tube wells are considered as risk tube wells, which have arsenic level above the Nepal Interim Standard 50 part per billion (ppb). Of the total risk population, about 9% have been identified as arsenicos

Caste system is the division of people based on occupational diversity which is unique feature of Hindu society. According Hindu varna system, society is hierarchically divided as Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Sudra. In this hierarchy, Dalits were kept at the bottom with duty as labourers and service providers. Belonging to Shudra varna they were discriminated in the name of so called untouchable caste.

Abstract:

Globally, urbanization is increasing at an unprecedented rate at the cost of agricultural and forested lands in peri-urban areas fringing larger cities. Such land-cover change generally entails negative implications for societal and environmental sustainability, particularly in South Asia, where high demographic growth and poor land-use planning combine. Analyzing historical land-use change and predicting the future trends concerning urban expansion may support more effective land-use planning and sustainable outcomes.

The present study aims to explain the current situation of internal migration and resilience. It is based on secondary sources of information. Mixed method is used to depict the complex scenario of inter-regional migration. Internal migration is a common phenomenon in Nepalese social history. It is generally attributed to poverty, low income, scarce fertile land, lack of opportunity, disparity of population distribution and resources. The unnatural flow of population from hilly to Tarai and rural to urban areas is an issue of study. Migration creates an unprecedented challenge to modern societ
