PAF ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2007</strong>/08Success Story 4A rural road that has replacedMarijuana with potatoesDhumsikharga, inhabitedlargely by ethnic Tamangcommunity, was once rated aninaccessible village, but nomore. A 4.5-km rural road thatconnects the village with anearest old bazaar, Dandabas,has connected Dhumsikhargato the larger world, brining infresh hopes in the lives of thepoor farmers - thanks to“Pakanikharka Rural RoadUser’s Committee” that thenine different communityorganizations of Agra,Gogane and DarakharkhaVillage Development Committees (VDCs) formed toexpedite the construction of the lifeline two years ago.The road alignment connects three districts namelyMakawanpur, Dhading and Chitwan, and injectednew life to the villagers, more than 80 per cent ofwhom are the people of ethnic origins (Tamang,Chepang, Magar and Gurung) and are living underthe worse form of poverty.Because of the high poverty prevalence and equallyhigh population of ethnic people, Makawanpur wasselected for support under PAF’s special windowprogramme.PAF agreed to finance NRs 3.50 m for constructing2.5 km of the road upon the request of thecommunity organizations and the communitiesextended the road to 4.5 km connecting more villages.The project is benefiting more than 8,000 populationsdirectly. The number of people enjoying benefitsindirectly is still more. Villagers are now farmingpotatoes, beans and different kinds of greenvegetables after the road link was constructed.Considered as a golden triangle for farmingmarijuana, these remote villages had no otherlivelihood options before. Its remoteness hadmade it a perfect site for such illegal farming.Many farmers who were unable to pay ‘due share’to the police often ended up in jail, serving termsfor many years. And the story was repeatedevery year.Now the case is different. The farmers have begunfarming potatoes and vegetables, and are leading adignified life, without the fear of police intimidation.“<strong>Poverty</strong> was the sole reason why we used to growmarijuana”, Sun Bahadur Lama, 40, also a memberof the users committee for the road construction toldus. Before farmers used to plant maize and now theyhave switched to many varieties of vegetables thathave more commercial value.38
