The federation has been raising its voice and struggling for these actions since its inception. It is a common umbrella organization of 22 thematic productions, community, and class peasants associations representing Nepalese peasants. Along with the communist movement, the peasants’ movement started in the country in an organized form in the year 2007 BS by further organizing the scattered movement, V. No. This campaign was launched under the leadership of Comrade Tulsilal Amatya from the Bhewa of the Communist Party held in Tudikhel, Kathmandu, on 17 Baisakh, 2008 BS. At that time, the notable comrades organized were Niranjan Govindhra Vaidya, Nar Bahadur Karmacharya, Kamal Raj Regmi, Khadga Bahadur Singh, and Devendralal Kailaba. The All Nepal Kisan Sangh was established with the aim of ending the feudal autocratic system and liberating the peasants from the exploitation and oppression of the feudal lords, and mobilizing the peasants for the establishment of a democratic system. The communist movement has been ideologically and politically guiding the peasant movement since its inception. The slogan mentioned in the first manifesto of the Communist Party of Nepal, “Mountains, rivers, streams, land and land, why do we become slaves? Why are we slaves to everyone?” inspired and directed the peasants’ movement at that time. Even in the current context, Marxism, Leninism, and People’s multi-party democracy are guiding the peasant movement. At the time of establishment, the main issue of the peasant movement was to end feudal land ownership and make the peasants the land owners through revolutionary land reform. To achieve the objective, ‘End Bethbegari and Salami System,’ ‘Maintain Mohiani Right,’ ‘Abolish Birta and Zamindari System,’ ‘Abolish Unfair Interest Rate,’ ‘Re Nahi Ji Kaho, Much, Ukhado,’ ‘Jali Tamsuk.’ The protest was held with slogans such as “Chane Phadne ra Bhakari Fod”, ‘Whose plow is his vessel,’ ‘Ki Jot Halo Ki Khod Thalo’ and our forefathers started the peasants’ movement. At that time, the peasants suffered a lot due to the division of the feudal lords. To end that excess and give justice to the peasants. The impact of the movement that started this way continued growing, and the peasants were organized into the All Nepal Kisan Federation. By the year 2011, about 3 lakh peasants were organized and joined the union already subscribed. Thus, in addition to establishing the rights of peasants, the Peasants’ Federation has been making significant contributions to the country’s political changes. Even when the Communist Party was banned, the expansion of organizational work in the reform of peasants and cooperatives was done through Kisan Andawan. After the formation of the then CPN (Malay) in the year 2037, under the chairmanship of Comrade Amrit Kumar Bohora, All Nepal Kisan Sangh was reorganized. And committees of peasants’ associations were formed nationwide. After 2047, various movements of Halia, Harwa, Charwa, Kamaiya, Kamalris, and Badi women’s movements and peasants’ union organizations emerged. When the All Nepal Kisan Sangh was transformed into the Peasants Federation, there were changes and reforms in the Kayan region of the country. In particular, the socio-economic system based on land slavery has completely ended. And labor relations based on unpaid labor have been transformed into wage labor. Traditional subsistence agricultural production has been transformed from commercial and feudal production systems into capitalist production systems. Due to this, some old classes in Nepali society have ended, and some new classes have appeared. Currently, the subsistence farming system is being transformed into commercial and industrial agricultural production. By building thematic, community and class organizations based on the specialization of agricultural production, the Kisan Sangh was transformed into the Kisan Federation from the fifth conference held in Pokhara in 2064."
