Arvind Sah, a member of the Rastriya Swatantra Party, has called for the implementation of a farmer pension scheme in the House of Representatives. He drew the government’s attention to the need for budget allocation to ensure the availability of chemical fertilizers, irrigation facilities, and electrification in agriculture. Speaking during zero hour on Monday, 12 Jestha, in Kathmandu, he stated, ‘Ensure agricultural insurance and the availability of fertilizers. Additionally, implement the farmer pension scheme.’

Against this backdrop, he underscored the importance of the government addressing farmers’ issues.
