The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development is a key provincial government body under the Government of Bagmati Province, located in Hetauda, Makwanpur District. It was established in line with the federal structure of Nepal, following the Constitution of 2015, which delegated specific responsibilities to provincial governments—especially in the areas of agriculture, livestock, land management, and cooperatives. The ministry is responsible for formulating and implementing policies, plans, and regulations related to agriculture, livestock development, food security, and land use within the province. Its roles include disease and pest control, promotion of agribusiness and mechanization, quality assurance, research and development, farmer training, resource management, and ensuring food safety. It also manages land records, promotes collective and contract farming, and oversees the supply and regulation of fertilizers, seeds, and pesticides. The ministry operates through its key directorates such as the Directorate of Agriculture Development and the Directorate of Livestock and Fisheries Development, which provide extension services and technical support. The official website offers notices on grants and tenders, downloadable forms, annual reports, and contact information. Ultimately, the ministry aims to promote sustainable agricultural development, improve farmers’ livelihoods, and enhance self-reliance in food production across Bagmati Province.
