The government has also introduced programs like agricultural employment program, smart agriculture village program, and youth and students-oriented programs to promote farming. Similarly, the provincial government plans to lease out farm land to landless farmers to make sure that cultivable land is not left fallow. To encourage contract farming, the provincial government will pay 100% lease fee in the first year and 50% and 25% in the second and third year, respectively, according to Pokharel.

The budget has also given continuity to the Chief Minister Rural Development Project. The province has set aside Rs 410 million to all municipalities to implement the project. While each rural municipality will receive Rs 150 million, municipality and sub-metropolitan cities will get Rs 200 million and Rs 300 million, respectively.
