Haruwa–charuwa system
Haruwa-Charuwa system is a way of dividing agricultural land and distributing it among families in Nepal. The system is named after the tools used in farming - Haruwa being a plow and Charuwa being a hoe.
Imagine you have a piece of land that you want to divide amongst your family and relatives. You want to make sure that everyone gets an equal share of the land and that the work of farming is divided equally as well. This is where the Haruwa-Charuwa system comes in.
The land is divided into equal parts according to the number of families involved. Each family gets a plot of land with the same size and quality. The land is then divided into two parts - one is designated for cultivation using a plow (haruwa) and the other using a hoe (charuwa). This ensures that each family gets a plot of land that will be easy for them to farm, based on their specific tools and skills.
Farmers who have a plow will work on the haruwa land and those who have a hoe will work on the charuwa land. Each family is responsible for the work on their designated land and they can make decisions about what crops they want to grow.
After each harvest, the produce is divided equally among the families. This ensures that everyone gets an equal share of the food and can support their own family.
The Haruwa-Charuwa system promotes equality, cooperation, and fair distribution of resources among families. It allows for efficient farming practices and ensures that everyone has an opportunity to contribute to the community.
