Farming in Thangrong Gewog in Monggar was once nearly impossible because of the steep terrain. But today, the situation is improving. Land management initiatives introduced more than a decade ago are making a difference. Building on earlier progress, all five chiwogs in the gewog are taking up more activities. They aim to stabilise the land, enhance soil fertility and boost agricultural productivity.
