Agriculture Research and Development Study
Preparation of Inventory/Compendium of Agriculture Research and Development Study of Nepal was extensive exercise which demanded sincere co-operation from various scientists / professionals and staff of documentation centres of various sources of information. First of all, we would like to thank NARDF for giving this opportunity of accepting this challenging but valuable task to SEEPORT Consultancy P. Ltd. and ECARDS/Nepal.
We appreciate the help and cooperation extended by professionals/staff of documentation centres of NARC, all disciplinary divisions of NARI and NASRI, Outreach Research Division and Planning Section of NARC, WINROCK International, IAAS, DFTQC, CCT Dharan, IUCN, ICIMOD, NDDB, LI-BIRD, LAC, PAC, RARS and Department of Plant Resources.
We also like to acknowledge the valuable comments and suggestions provided by Mr. Ganesh Kumar K.C, Chairman of NARDF and Secretary of the Ministry of Agiculture and Co-operatives, Mr. Tek Bahadur Thapa, (then) member secretary NARDF, Mr. Jagadish Chandra Gautam, Dr. Nanda P. Shrestha, Dr. Uttam Kumar Bhattrai and other respected scientists / professionals during the consultative meeting.
The help extended by Mr. Puspa Raj Acharya of CCT Dharan and Mr. P. P. Khatiwada of PAC is highly appreciated. Movement within and outside Kathmandu for information collection was made extremely difficult because of political unrest and we thank Mr. Shiva Sundar Shrestha, present member secretary of NARDF for understanding our difficulties and limitations. His help towards completing this Final Report as scheduled is highly appreciated. We believe this document can serve the interest of NARDF and others concerned.
Thanks
