Official start of the Rapti Valley Multi-Purpose Development Program to settle cultivators from the hills in the western portion of Chitawan south of Narayangarh, at a rate of 2500 people per year. By March 1959, 12000 people had been settled here on 52 + sq.miles. A further 25000 people are expected to be settled. There are many unofficial settlers also. Recent malaria control measures have made the area better inhabitable.
