People and Land in Nepal In this article we will analyze the people and land in Nepal. More specifically, I will examine people in the Kathmandu Valley. In this article I will explain the relationship between land and population and how they interact. First look at the general physical aspects of the state of the whole Nepal and then narrow it down to the characteristics of the valley. 75 per cent of Nepal is covered with mountains, the most steep terrain in the world.
Land is another natural resource of Nepal. In Nepal, most people depend on land. They engage in land agriculture and make a living for each land. Land contains soil and minerals. Nepal's arable land accounts for about 17%. About 38% of the land is full of rocks and covered with snow. Soil is an important factor in agriculture. People and animals can not live on the earth without soil. Terai's land is very fertile. This is suitable for agriculture. Therefore, Terai's productivity is very high. Terai district is a warehouse of groceries. It is known as the green belt of Nepal. There are many hills in Nepal. The hillside is rough and the soil at the top of the mountain is washed away when there is much rain. It leads to landslides. Therefore, it is necessary to plant and protect the trees to protect the mountain soil. Plants are the only way to keep the soil secure and prevent erosion
The feudal land system of Nepal has also played an important role in exacerbating the poverty of Nepal. In Nepal, only a few people own a large land, but large people own a narrow land. Worstly, 24.4% of households in Nepal do not have land. Land subdivision is a rapid phenomenon, and the exploitation of workers is intense. The democratic government since the 1990s took several measures to distribute the land equally, but because of the lack of political will, their plan was all suspended or the pressure of the feudal elite It is due to.
