In a significant move aimed at boosting agricultural productivity and ensuring food security, the government has unveiled plans to establish key infrastructural projects across various regions.

President Ramchandra Paudel announced the government’s policy and program for the upcoming fiscal year of 2081/082 BS at the federal parliament today. Among the highlights of the announcement are the establishment of an agro-industrial park in Gorkha, a mega food park in Sudurpaschim, and a food and fruits processing center in Karnali.
