Background Information
Increasing population pressure, soil erosion and land hunger were pushing a growing number of farmers in the northern mountains
of Nepal to the plains of the south. In recent times, the migratory flow has increased.
To ease the problem of a resettled population – aggravated by the return of emigrants from
Myanmar and Assam – the government set up new settlements on the Terai Plain, along the border with India. What was previously wasteland was distributed free-of-charge.
Through WFP and FAO, 1 350 000 daily rations were sent to help families on the settlements during the first growing season, until they could harvest their own crops from
the lands assigned to them at the border village of Nepalganj.
