3 METHODOLOGY AND WORK PLAN


The consultant's methodology and work plan for the consulting services to the project are described in this
chapter. It prefaces with our understanding of objectives and approach to carry out the tasks as per the Terms
of Reference.

3.1 BACKGROUND
3.1.1

Project Background

Urbanization is the most necessary index for development but the unplanned growth and haphazard
urbanization trending in Nepal is causing environmental degradation. Along with the development of modern
technologies, the living is very much easier but has adverse effect in the environment. For instant, people do
travel in private vehicles which is easier to use but the energy consumption and production of carbon
monoxide gas is higher. Similarly, the increasing factories has provided various daily needs to the population
but it consumes natural resources like water, trees etc. and produce harmful effluent. But the inability of
checking the production of harmful gases or the harmful effluent or inability to minimise the effect of them is
causing major problem. The toxic gases and liquids are left open in the environment and for the drainage,
water resources are the first choices to dump at. The pollution level of air is increasing along the development
of the city and similarly, the industrial waste and waste water are being mixed with river and ponds.
In the context of the Janakpur, one of the religious and cultural centres of Nepal, the pressure on the existing
infrastructure like roads, water supply, drainage, solid waste management and electricity are increasing with
growing incidence of overload and breakdown along with Urbanization. The consumption of natural
resources, along with population accumulation as a result of urbanization, has put the threat that what if all the
resources replenish? The alternative sustainable development is developing very slowly with respect to the
haphazard urbanization.
Moreover, the natural resources like pond have become places for discharging sludge, untreated effluents from
the factories and even damping solid waste. The cultural heritage of Janakpur has been degrading day by day
and the effective steps has to be implemented immediately to hault the environmental degradation especially
in the ponds.
On this regard DUDBC intends to procure consulting services for the preparation of Detail Engineering report
fot Integrated Development of Dhanus Sagar and Ganga Sagar of Janakpur as a Tourism Place in FY 072/273.

3.1.2 Project Site and Situation Analysis


Janakpur zone lies in Eastern Development Region of Nepal widespread in 9,669 sq km. Janakpur is the
administrative and capital city of Mithila region of Nepal. Janakpur is also the administrative headquater of
Dhanusa District Janakpur zone. Janakpur city has population of 113,980 in 2015 and is located with
coordinates 26o4343 N and 85o5530 East which is 123 km South East of Kathmandu, the capital city. The
major attraction of Janakpur is historical importance as it is the Birthplace of goddess Sita, wife of one of the
major Hindu god Rama.
Janakpur is known as paradise of ponds. It has glory of having nearly 115 ponds (Sagars, Sars and Kups).
These ponds are considered among the sacred ponds mostly visited by Hindus. These ponds are located in the
Laghu Parikrama (Circumambulating of a sacred place of tirtha as a rituals performance) route of Janakpur.
All the ponds have religious and mythological importance. During the Parikrama festivals, thousands of
pilgrims assemble at these ponds. The ponds have big significance. Therefore, it would not be wrong to say
that the culture of Janakpur is an Aqua Culture.
There is a tradition of dipping in these holy ponds on special occasions as per lunar calendar. The famous
among these are Ganga Sagar, Dhanusha Sagar, Ram Sagar, Ratna Sagar, Vihar Kund, Agni Kund, Gyan Kup,
Argaja (Angrag), Dasharath Sar, Gordhoi, Pap Mochani Sar etc. Ganga Sar is the holiest and the greatest of
them. Ten of thousands of people throng its ghats on every poomima (full moon day) and other festive
occasions for a dip into this pond which is as holy as River Ganges. The bathers and the receivers of holy
water from this pond are believed to be highly blessed as mentioned in Vrihad Vishnu Puran.
