Devoted to the theme, Organizing and Strengthening Family Farmers’ Cooperatives to attain SDG-1 and SDG-2 in South Asia, the forum was co-organized by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Asian Farmers’ Association (AFA) with the support from International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). </p> <p>The three-day forum brings together representatives both from the government and non-governmental entities from the member states of SAARC as well as from regional and international organizations. It will conclude on August 30.</p> <p>Addressing the inaugural session of the forum, SAARC Secretary General Amjad Hussain B Sial said, “South Asia is home to around a quarter of the global population, majority of whom live in the rural areas and depend on natural resources like land, freshwater, coastal fisheries, and forests. Much of the agricultural production in the region is undertaken by smallholders with very small landholdings, while women play a significant role in agriculture.”</p> <p>He added that in the context of diminishing farm sizes, sustainable Family Farmers’ Cooperatives can play an instrumental role in achieving food security, improving nutrition and developing value chain, eventually contributing to poverty alleviation and ending hunger.</p> <p>Referring to the SAARC Agriculture Vision 2020 adopted by the SAARC agriculture ministers in 2008, the secretary general said, “Small-sized farms in South Asia face serious constraints in adopting modern technology and in marketing their produce. To some extent, the size disadvantage can be obviated through contract and cooperative farming.”</p> <p>In concluding his remarks, Sial said, “Agricultural cooperatives can be an effective instrument in tackling the formidable challenge of poverty in the SAARC region. Reaching out to the marginalized segments of the society, cooperatives can help in employment generation by encouraging small and medium enterprises in communities. Women and the vibrant youth population, with proper awareness and education on agriculture cooperatives, could also be utilized in the poverty eradication programmes in the region.”</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-08-29', 'modified' => '2018-08-29', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8767', 'image' => '20180829023304_IMG_2558.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-08-29 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 5 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8987', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Mega Bank Launches New Auto Loan Scheme', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'August 29: Mega Bank Limited has launched an attractive auto loan scheme in collaboration with Pioneer Moto Corp.', 'content' => '<p>August 29: Mega Bank Limited has launched an attractive auto loan scheme in collaboration with Pioneer Moto Corp.</p> <p>The bank said in a statement that it has signed an agreement with Pioneer Moto Corps to provide easy installment for auto loans. </p> <p>With the agreement, customers can now procurement Datsun and Nissan cars sold by Pioneer Moto Corps with ease.</p> <p>The bank has agreed to provide finance facility with nominal interest rate and ten-year payback duration to the individuals willing to buy Datsun and Nissan car.</p> <p>Rabina Desraj Shrestha, assistant deputy CEO of Mega Bank, and Gyanendra Chand, managing director of Pioneer Moto Corps, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organizations amid a recent function.</p> <p>According to the agreement, individuals can now procure any model of Datsun and Nissan cars available at Pioneer Moto Corps with 35 percent down payment and monthly installment of just Rs 12,999.</p> <p>The bank in a statement informed that it will finalize its decision of providing loan within 24 hours of staring the process of loan procurement under the agreement.

Devoted to the theme, Organizing and Strengthening Family Farmers’ Cooperatives to attain SDG-1 and SDG-2 in South Asia, the forum was co-organized by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Asian Farmers’ Association (AFA) with the support from International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). </p> <p>The three-day forum brings together representatives both from the government and non-governmental entities from the member states of SAARC as well as from regional and international organizations. It will conclude on August 30.</p> <p>Addressing the inaugural session of the forum, SAARC Secretary General Amjad Hussain B Sial said, “South Asia is home to around a quarter of the global population, majority of whom live in the rural areas and depend on natural resources like land, freshwater, coastal fisheries, and forests. Much of the agricultural production in the region is undertaken by smallholders with very small landholdings, while women play a significant role in agriculture.”</p> <p>He added that in the context of diminishing farm sizes, sustainable Family Farmers’ Cooperatives can play an instrumental role in achieving food security, improving nutrition and developing value chain, eventually contributing to poverty alleviation and ending hunger.</p> <p>Referring to the SAARC Agriculture Vision 2020 adopted by the SAARC agriculture ministers in 2008, the secretary general said, “Small-sized farms in South Asia face serious constraints in adopting modern technology and in marketing their produce. To some extent, the size disadvantage can be obviated through contract and cooperative farming.”</p> <p>In concluding his remarks, Sial said, “Agricultural cooperatives can be an effective instrument in tackling the formidable challenge of poverty in the SAARC region. Reaching out to the marginalized segments of the society, cooperatives can help in employment generation by encouraging small and medium enterprises in communities. Women and the vibrant youth population, with proper awareness and education on agriculture cooperatives, could also be utilized in the poverty eradication programmes in the region.”</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-08-29', 'modified' => '2018-08-29', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8767', 'image' => '20180829023304_IMG_2558.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-08-29 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 5 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8987', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Mega Bank Launches New Auto Loan Scheme', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'August 29: Mega Bank Limited has launched an attractive auto loan scheme in collaboration with Pioneer Moto Corp.', 'content' => '<p>August 29: Mega Bank Limited has launched an attractive auto loan scheme in collaboration with Pioneer Moto Corp.</p> <p>The bank said in a statement that it has signed an agreement with Pioneer Moto Corps to provide easy installment for auto loans. </p> <p>With the agreement, customers can now procurement Datsun and Nissan cars sold by Pioneer Moto Corps with ease.</p> <p>The bank has agreed to provide finance facility with nominal interest rate and ten-year payback duration to the individuals willing to buy Datsun and Nissan car.</p> <p>Rabina Desraj Shrestha, assistant deputy CEO of Mega Bank, and Gyanendra Chand, managing director of Pioneer Moto Corps, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organizations amid a recent function.</p> <p>According to the agreement, individuals can now procure any model of Datsun and Nissan cars available at Pioneer Moto Corps with 35 percent down payment and monthly installment of just Rs 12,999.</p> <p>The bank in a statement informed that it will finalize its decision of providing loan within 24 hours of staring the process of loan procurement under the agreement.

Devoted to the theme, Organizing and Strengthening Family Farmers’ Cooperatives to attain SDG-1 and SDG-2 in South Asia, the forum was co-organized by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Asian Farmers’ Association (AFA) with the support from International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). </p> <p>The three-day forum brings together representatives both from the government and non-governmental entities from the member states of SAARC as well as from regional and international organizations. It will conclude on August 30.</p> <p>Addressing the inaugural session of the forum, SAARC Secretary General Amjad Hussain B Sial said, “South Asia is home to around a quarter of the global population, majority of whom live in the rural areas and depend on natural resources like land, freshwater, coastal fisheries, and forests. Much of the agricultural production in the region is undertaken by smallholders with very small landholdings, while women play a significant role in agriculture.”</p> <p>He added that in the context of diminishing farm sizes, sustainable Family Farmers’ Cooperatives can play an instrumental role in achieving food security, improving nutrition and developing value chain, eventually contributing to poverty alleviation and ending hunger.</p> <p>Referring to the SAARC Agriculture Vision 2020 adopted by the SAARC agriculture ministers in 2008, the secretary general said, “Small-sized farms in South Asia face serious constraints in adopting modern technology and in marketing their produce. To some extent, the size disadvantage can be obviated through contract and cooperative farming.”</p> <p>In concluding his remarks, Sial said, “Agricultural cooperatives can be an effective instrument in tackling the formidable challenge of poverty in the SAARC region. Reaching out to the marginalized segments of the society, cooperatives can help in employment generation by encouraging small and medium enterprises in communities. Women and the vibrant youth population, with proper awareness and education on agriculture cooperatives, could also be utilized in the poverty eradication programmes in the region.”</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-08-29', 'modified' => '2018-08-29', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8767', 'image' => '20180829023304_IMG_2558.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-08-29 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 5 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8987', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Mega Bank Launches New Auto Loan Scheme', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'August 29: Mega Bank Limited has launched an attractive auto loan scheme in collaboration with Pioneer Moto Corp.', 'content' => '<p>August 29: Mega Bank Limited has launched an attractive auto loan scheme in collaboration with Pioneer Moto Corp.</p> <p>The bank said in a statement that it has signed an agreement with Pioneer Moto Corps to provide easy installment for auto loans. </p> <p>With the agreement, customers can now procurement Datsun and Nissan cars sold by Pioneer Moto Corps with ease.</p> <p>The bank has agreed to provide finance facility with nominal interest rate and ten-year payback duration to the individuals willing to buy Datsun and Nissan car.</p> <p>Rabina Desraj Shrestha, assistant deputy CEO of Mega Bank, and Gyanendra Chand, managing director of Pioneer Moto Corps, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organizations amid a recent function.</p> <p>According to the agreement, individuals can now procure any model of Datsun and Nissan cars available at Pioneer Moto Corps with 35 percent down payment and monthly installment of just Rs 12,999.</p> <p>The bank in a statement informed that it will finalize its decision of providing loan within 24 hours of staring the process of loan procurement under the agreement.

It will conclude on August 30.</p> <p>Addressing the inaugural session of the forum, SAARC Secretary General Amjad Hussain B Sial said, “South Asia is home to around a quarter of the global population, majority of whom live in the rural areas and depend on natural resources like land, freshwater, coastal fisheries, and forests. Much of the agricultural production in the region is undertaken by smallholders with very small landholdings, while women play a significant role in agriculture.”</p> <p>He added that in the context of diminishing farm sizes, sustainable Family Farmers’ Cooperatives can play an instrumental role in achieving food security, improving nutrition and developing value chain, eventually contributing to poverty alleviation and ending hunger.</p> <p>Referring to the SAARC Agriculture Vision 2020 adopted by the SAARC agriculture ministers in 2008, the secretary general said, “Small-sized farms in South Asia face serious constraints in adopting modern technology and in marketing their produce. To some extent, the size disadvantage can be obviated through contract and cooperative farming.”</p> <p>In concluding his remarks, Sial said, “Agricultural cooperatives can be an effective instrument in tackling the formidable challenge of poverty in the SAARC region. Reaching out to the marginalized segments of the society, cooperatives can help in employment generation by encouraging small and medium enterprises in communities. Women and the vibrant youth population, with proper awareness and education on agriculture cooperatives, could also be utilized in the poverty eradication programmes in the region.”</p> ', 'published' => true, 'created' => '2018-08-29', 'modified' => '2018-08-29', 'keywords' => '', 'description' => '', 'sortorder' => '8767', 'image' => '20180829023304_IMG_2558.jpg', 'article_date' => '2018-08-29 00:00:00', 'homepage' => false, 'breaking_news' => false, 'main_news' => true, 'in_scroller' => false, 'user_id' => '16' ) ), (int) 5 => array( 'Article' => array( 'id' => '8987', 'article_category_id' => '1', 'title' => 'Mega Bank Launches New Auto Loan Scheme', 'sub_title' => '', 'summary' => 'August 29: Mega Bank Limited has launched an attractive auto loan scheme in collaboration with Pioneer Moto Corp.', 'content' => '<p>August 29: Mega Bank Limited has launched an attractive auto loan scheme in collaboration with Pioneer Moto Corp.</p> <p>The bank said in a statement that it has signed an agreement with Pioneer Moto Corps to provide easy installment for auto loans. </p> <p>With the agreement, customers can now procurement Datsun and Nissan cars sold by Pioneer Moto Corps with ease.</p> <p>The bank has agreed to provide finance facility with nominal interest rate and ten-year payback duration to the individuals willing to buy Datsun and Nissan car.</p> <p>Rabina Desraj Shrestha, assistant deputy CEO of Mega Bank, and Gyanendra Chand, managing director of Pioneer Moto Corps, signed the agreement on behalf of their respective organizations amid a recent function.</p> <p>According to the agreement, individuals can now procure any model of Datsun and Nissan cars available at Pioneer Moto Corps with 35 percent down payment and monthly installment of just Rs 12,999.</p> <p>The bank in a statement informed that it will finalize its decision of providing loan within 24 hours of staring the process of loan procurement under the agreement.
