Gyan Udhyan

Located in the scenic Biratnagar, Gyan Udhyan is an innovative unit of agricultural labs and farms that was conceived in 1972 ,as a vision to elevate the backbone of the Nepalese economy.

The inception of this notable venture is owed to Mr KL Dugar’s long-standing passion for agriculture and nature. Translating from his visionary interests in cultivating land with scientific gardening, plantations, the Gyan Udhyan farms use a hybrid approach to grow food grains, exotic fruits and vegetables with scientific techniques.

Under the guidance of Mr. KL Dugar, this initiative has witnessed the first coconut farm in the Eastern Nepal as well as a flourishing sandalwood plantation. Furthermore, the foundation of this CSR initiative by KL Dugar group aims to impart modern agricultural education to the farmers with an aim to refine and update their skills.

The impact created by Ghyan Udhyam has been appreciated by Majesty King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah and various other ministers and political dignitaries from across the pan-Asian region as an example of impeccable innovation.

Gyan Charitable Trust

At the core of our values we believe that our growth is derived from the local community. The initiatives that are undertaken by the Gyan Charitable Fund in the fields of education and health care are focused on building/ weaving resources for a shared future together.

The trust has successfully created an impact by nurturing young talents at the grassroot level through scholarships and mid-day meals for students.

Upholding the title of a historic conglomerate, KL Dugar Group as a whole believes that it is our responsibility to preserve Nepal’s rich cultural heritage and has been a major contributor for remodeling the Adarsh Library building at Biratnagar, one of Nepal’s oldest institutions.

Furthermore, development of accessible healthcare is one of our most important agendas. Contributions towards the construction of local institutions like Atithi Sadan, Koshi Anchal Hospital, the Jain Swetamber Sabha, Jain Bhawan in Kathmandu are established for effective social welfare.

The Pledge of Sustainability

In the pursuit of giving back, we strive to consciously use natural resources while making an extra effort to replenish and renew the environment/ Mother Nature.

Regular tree plantation drives around our factories and manufacturing plants is a habit that we’re carefully honing and owning.
