In the first call of meeting, very few farmers turned up and showed no interest in dealing with the office staff. They disappeared just after a very short talk of about half an hour. After four/five uncalled visits and informal talks about the Sukauri-khola micro-watershed management, the farmers were found a bit motivated. They started discussing about their socioeconomic and environmental problems. The community was mobilized conducting several meeting/workshops. “Sukauri-khola Soil Conservation Users’ Group” was formed in coordination with District Soil Conservation Office, Nuwakot. Necessary rules and regulations were formulated in order to run the users' group. Soil conservation and watershed management activities; were applied such as (i) reclamation of degraded land by planting surface grass, fodder grasses/trees; (ii) gully and landslide treatment by constructing gabion check dams/loose stone check dams/brushwood check dams; and (iii) fruit trees plantation both on the community and private lands were implemented; (iv) community fund/revolving fund was established in the nearby bank; (v) coordination was made with JICA/NEPAL for PNC (Pipe-Net-Concrete) BLOCK for gully head plugging. This collaboration with the community entirely improved the environmental condition of the micro-watershed and become a productive area.
