Sukranagar

Sukranagar is a village development committee in Chitwan District in the Narayani Zone of southern Nepal.

Located just across Nepal's Chitwan National Park, Sukranagar is home to subsistence farmers who nominally live off the land using traditional farming practices.

Similarly crop damage by wild animals from the park have become a matter of concern for the local people.

The people settled adjacent to the park are dependent on its resources primarily due to absence of convenient alternatives.

This means that there is a tremendous opportunity for thoughtful and resourceful people to develop alternative economic and agricultural practices that can positively exploit the proximity of the park and the rich combination of plants and animals that exist in the park.
