Overview

The Manechauka Sustainable Agriculture Education Program is designed to create a model for improving agriculture education across Nepal. Partnering with Shree Tribhuvan Senior High School, the program engages up to 250 Diploma in Agriculture students in Food Science and Animal Science, combining classroom learning with hands-on training at a dedicated school working farm. Students gain practical experience in areas such as propagation, new plant varieties, agribusiness strategies, and sustainable farming methods—equipping them to promote safe and eco-friendly agricultural practices in their own communities.

Key Objectives

  • Establish a model school farm that enhances practical learning in sustainable agriculture.
  • Improve applied education in topics like productivity improvement, chemical use minimization, and alternative farming methods.|
  • Equip students with agribusiness knowledge to strengthen rural economies.
    Train students to deliver structured agricultural education modules to farmers in their home communities.
  • Promote environmentally responsible practices in response to the rising use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and weedicides.

Progress so far

  • A fully functional school farm has been established within the Shree Tribhuvan Senior High School campus, with dedicated sections for different crop and agribusiness activities.
  • Essential farming equipment has been funded and supplied by Community Leadership Nepal Foundation.|
  • Students are actively engaged in hands-on farming activities, applying classroom knowledge in real-world scenarios.
  • Modular training courses have been developed, and students are being trained to share their skills and knowledge with farmers in their local communities.
  • Early feedback from students and community members shows increased awareness of sustainable farming practices and alternative crop options.

Community Leadership Nepal Foundation (CLNF) has officially merged with SmileHigh Foundation. Moving forward, we will operate under the unified name Community Leadership Nepal Foundation (CLNF) — combining our shared vision, values, and impact.
