The other possibilities for the development of
this province are:

8. In which state of Nepal is there more land good for agriculture? How does it influence the development of that province?
Ans: In the Province number one there is more
land good for agriculture. The province has been the highest contributor for
national income from agriculture, too. The Terai region produces paddy and jute
as the major agro products. In the Hill there are Cardamom, Ginger, Tea and
varieties of vegetables produced. In the mountain there is probability of
tourism and herbs production. Each eco belt has its own potential for
development and can contribute equally for the income of the province.
As agriculture is the substantial source of
income for the province number one, it in total contributes the highest for
uplifting the income of the region. As majority of the people are involved in
agriculture, there is more arable land suitable for agriculture. If the farmers
are just supported by the authority briefly, there can be the agriculture made
more scientific. It may be commercialized up to the limit that it can fulfill
the need of other provinces, too.
Not only the food crops, but also the
cash crops have high potential for production and export. Besides the market of
India and other close neighbours, Nepal has been exporting them to abroad.
Broadening the trend of benefits in the region not only by promoting its
agriculture, but also it contributes for national economy.
Agriculture as the best practiced
occupation in the province number one does not limit in the region only. It
becomes a supporting partner for the provinces that have less arable land.
9. Which of the seven states has more snow-covered areas? What impacts can be observed there on development due to this?
Ans: Among the seven states of Nepal, the
state number six has more snow covered areas. It is extended in the Hill and
Mountain region of mid-hill of Nepal. It includes Rukum, Mugu, Jumla, Humla,
Kalikot like districts which are located at high altitude. These places are
also Influenced by the winter rain begun form the Mediterranean and Caspian
seas. Rainfall in winter causes more snow fall there as well.
Snowfall has been a blessing for the farmers
there though there is less alluvial area. It is believed that better snowfall
increases the growth of agro-products yearly. It is to mean that the more
snowfall s caused there, the better growth of agricultural products. So it is
good for the farmers. Also the perennial rivers originated from the mountains
of the province have abundant water throughout the year. They are good for
hydro power production.
On the other hand, it becomes problematic for
majority of the people in the region. Almost half of the year the human life is
partially paralyzed there. Schools, health services and other activities are
affected. Development activities are slowed down and hindrances appear in human
life. In many cases heavy snowfall causes problems in the people there.

problems that the province faces are presented below.

The province is
extended only in Hill and Mountain regions of Nepal. It shows the province has
insufficient development of infrastructures.

challenges in the regions are mentioned below.

As the region has
major irrigation projects in the country, it has to uplift the agricultural
commercialization, so that the people may be benefitted.

villages and 70 lakhs of the population will be benefitted from this project
and become able to get connected with the road.

13. "Geography and population is the
blessing for development." Supporting the statement, write a speech and
present it to your teacher.
Ans: Respected Teacher
My friend competitors and other friends
It feels great to be standing in front
of you all and present the speech on the title. I present my speech this way.
Geography here means the way in which the physical features of a place are
arranged. Similarly, population means the people who live in a particular place
in definite time.
Geography determines the life style of people
and their economic level of living. Population is to utilize the available
geo-physical resources for their benefits. Agriculture, climate and topography
are the influential aspects of human life. Though they are physical aspects of
nature, they are instantly consumed by human beings and other creatures for
meeting their needs; Population means the human power that can make efforts for
beautifying the environment, also the geography. Human power maintains the
occupational processes on land, water etc. They plant crops, harvest them and
leave their residues in nature. Such activities maintain the natural process on
environment. Maintenance of environment maintains human life and the life of
every being.
Appropriate presence of geographical features helps in sustainable existence of human life. Scarcity of resources in nature causes human life suffers from complexity. So, good geographical resources fulfill human life and human takes care of it. So, geography and population is the blessing for development.
