Dhangadhi, March 2: Two food cooperatives have been established each one in Bhajani and Lalbojhi VDCs in Kailali district, targeting the vulnerable communities from the climate change.
District Coordinator of Climate Change Resilience Programme Shiva Adhikari said the cooperatives were established to resolve the food crisis caused due to the climate change.
With the decision into implementation, Rs 160,000 has been deposited in the name of each cooperative and the amount would be used to purchase the foodstuffs during the time of crisis.
