Abstract:

This report presents results of a census survey conducted by the Nepalese Lumle Agricultural Research Centre in 1991/92 to create a general database of its extension command area for the purposes of research and extension planning. The paper describes the methodology and presents the results in a tabular form in terms of household, population, literacy, land, crops, horticulture, livestock, forestry/pasture and income distributions. The distributions are shown by four major classifying variables, viz. agro-ecological domains, ethnicity, food balance status of households (as a proxy indicator to wealth class) and village development committees, to highlight the agricultural scenario in the area.
