The specialized educational session was executed as a core part of the organization’s annual corporate work plan and its continuous nationwide agricultural insurance promotion campaign.

The corporate initiative aimed to actively expand the operational reach of crop and livestock protection frameworks. By interacting directly with regional communities, the company intends to educate local food producers about the specific financial safety nets available against unexpected natural disasters, climate variables, and herd diseases.

FARMERS ENCOURAGED TO ADOPT AGRICULTURAL INSURANCE

The public awareness event was inaugurated by the program’s chief guest, Dambar Bahadur Khadka, who serves as the Ward Chairperson of Kohalpur Municipality Ward No. 13. During his address, he emphasized the critical role that formal insurance plays in isolating rural households from extreme financial losses caused by sudden weather fluctuations and livestock mortality.

He strongly encouraged the gathering of local farmers and small-scale livestock owners to enroll in active insurance programs. Taking this step helps secure their seasonal production investments, stabilize micro-businesses, and build a more resilient rural economy across the province.
