Farmers, locals and even tourists all over the country have observed the 13th National Paddy Plantation Day today with much gusto.Being an agricultural country, the Day holds a national importance for farmers across Nepal. Paddy contributes around 58 per cent in the total cereal crops production, around 18 per cent in total agricultural gross domestic product and 4.5 per cent in the country’s economy.The Tarai region covers around 70 per cent of the production area and production. As informed by the Ministry of Agricultural Development on Tuesday, paddy plantation has already been carried out in 18.42 per cent of rice fields in the country.The country is largely dependent on rainfall for agriculture because only 25 per cent of the total cultivation area is covered by irrigation facility.Last year, paddy plantation was affected in both the hills and the Tarai areas because of the late monsoon and the drought that caused substantial drop in paddy production.

Ohio State's 1,764 acres (7.14 km2) of main campus is approximately 2.5 miles (4.0 km) north of the city's downtown. Four buildings are currently listed on the National Register of Historic Places: Hale Hall (originally Enerson Hall), Hayes Hall, Ohio Stadium, and Orton Hall. Unlike earlier Ohio state universities such as Ohio University and Miami University, which have campuses with a consistent architectural style, architecture on the Ohio State campus does not conform to a unifying theme such as Gothic revival or Georgian. Instead, Ohio State's buildings are a mix of traditional, modern and post-modern styles. The William Oxley Thompson Memorial Library, anchoring the Oval's western end, is Ohio State library's main branch and single largest repository. The Thompson Library was designed in 1913 by the Boston firm of Allen and Collens in the Italianate Renaissance Revival style, and its placement on the Oval was suggested by the Olmsted brothers who had designed New York City's Central Park. In 2006, the Thompson Library began a $100 million renovation with the stated aims of becoming a "global benchmark twenty-first century" library while maintaining the building's classical Italian Renaissance architecture
