I am ex-student of India studied under the Technical Cooperation scheme of the Colombo Plan (1984-1988) Presently I am working at NTNC-ACAP. In ACAP area there is a highly potential land for tea cultivation. India is leading country in tea cultivation. If India really wants to help Nepalese people He should help us in tea production projects. There must have people to people relationship between two countries and for this projects should go at grass root level, not only with the leaders, I would like to submit one project in the embassy, can I? If so, please inform me. Thanks
