Pokhara: Nation Paddy Day, which is celebrated every year on Ashar 15, is being celebrated today by working in the field and eating curd along with beaten rice.
Farmers who are tired of the hassle of work in the field eat curd and beaten rice to gain strength.
This year, the National Paddy Day is being celebrated with the slogan ‘Let’s plant paddy, become self-sufficient in food grains’. The celebration of National Paddy Day has been started since 2006 AD.
