Shah and king Birendra B.B. Shah, many Nepalese people came to Prithvinagar for settlement. They were encouraged to take part in controlled deforestation program. The first settlers were awarded fertile land in return for their hard work. Later arrivals were less fortunate but was still provided with land. Remaining less fertile land was given to them then previous settlers. Many people from hills and various other parts of Nepal and India migrated to Prithvinagar during BS 2020 and 2030. People who came to Prithvinagar for settlement from India were of Nepalese origin. They were invited to return home with Ghar Farka Abhiyan (Return Home Campaign) by then prime minister B.P. Koirala.

People from various ethnic communities came with their families. Nepalese of all walks of life worked together in harmony. They built roads, bridges, dames and canals. Most people got engaged in farming and agriculture activities; some started trade and business while others joined in service industry. Many youths of Prithvinagar joined military and police force, some traveled India for casual works, higher education, to join in Indian army and so forth. Those with higher ambition and physical stamina even joined in the British Army. Among those migrant Nepalese, some were retired army personnel from British and Indian arm forces, some were educated in India.
