Why do government documents use hectares?

Because hectares are the metric standard for land area and make national figures comparable across districts that use different traditional systems, and comparable internationally.

Is a hectare the same as a square kilometre?

No — a square kilometre is one hundred hectares. Hectares are used for landholdings; square kilometres for districts and regions.

Why people convert hectares to Ropani

Hectares are the unit of official Nepal: agricultural census figures, forest and community-land records, land-ceiling provisions, and donor and ministry reporting are all published in hectares, while the individual titles underneath them are recorded in Ropani or Bigha.

Anyone reading a government or NGO document against their own paperwork has to move between the two — as does anyone checking a district-level landholding statistic against what their family actually owns.
