The loan aims to support the Government of Nepal’s strategy announced in the Fiscal Year 2082/83 Budget Statement, which targets achieving self-sufficiency in paddy production within the next two years.
Under this scheme, farmers can obtain loans of up to NPR 2 million from the bank to purchase paddy seeds, chemical and organic fertilizers, agricultural tools, and other essential farming materials.
The main objective of this loan program is to encourage farmers by promoting the proper utilization of arable land, increasing income through paddy cultivation, and making agriculture a respected and professional occupation.
In celebration of National Paddy Day, the bank also organized a paddy plantation program at a field near Radha Krishna Temple in Ward No. 1 of Tokha Municipality, with participation from the bank’s employees and residents.
