Bhanta Kheti and Tarkari Kheti: Practical Learning From the Fields

Agriculture remains the backbone of most households in the Lumbini area. Sessions on Bhanta Kheti (brinjal farming) and Tarkari Kheti (vegetable farming) focused on shared learning rather than formal training.

Farmers exchanged experiences about seasonal challenges, soil preparation, and local solutions that have worked for them over time. Women and youth showed growing interest in vegetable farming as a way to support household income alongside education and other responsibilities.

These discussions highlighted that small improvements in farming practices can have a meaningful impact on daily life.
