Nepal, it plays a vital role such as providing employment opportunities which control
the brain drain problem.
Therefore, there should be joint effort from the side of the farmers and the government
to adopt the modern agricultural system and commercialization production in large
scale. The government should help farmers by providing interest free loan or loan in
minimal interest. So that farmers can buy the required modern equipment to practice
agriculture. Most importantly, the wrong concept in agriculture should be changed
that agriculture is the occupation for the uneducated people only. So the privilege
should be increased very high that even educated people get attracted to the occupation
of agriculture. It helps to get good production through the commercialization of
agriculture.
