  Unemployment has become a seriouss problem for the country. Photo:volker-meyer By JENISH PAHARI Unemployment has become a serious subject of discussion today. Unfortunately, in recent years the unemployment rate has soared tremendously.   The demand for skilled manpower and other resources is always limited. In a situation like this, creating more employments has become extremely difficult and challenging. Increasing poverty and unemployment have become an inherent qualities of the Nepalese economy.   The government’s apathy to create more job opportunity for young people has only made things go bad to worse. In the meantime, short-term and long-term economic policies should be formulated by the government. This has also not been done as effectively as it should have been.     Poor infrastructures in developing sectors will have a direct impact on economic growth. No economic development can be imagined without proper growth of infrastructures of various development sectors.   Moreov

Amrit Kunwar is not just an amateur bike reviewer. He has already completed a diploma from Madras (Chennai) Race Track. He is also a professional bike racer and therefore he holds necessary technical knowledge about motorbikes and their performance in different conditions. Amrit Kunwar is one of the first full-time motorbikers who is committed to promoting local tourism through motorbiking.   By LB THAPA Amrit Kunwar’s passion is different and that very passion has made him special. He is a motor biker---I mean an unswerving biker. He has not taken up motorbiking as fun or just out of curiosity. He has made motorbiking a purpose in his life and now he lives for that.     “The spirit of motorbiking runs all over my veins and therefore it cannot be alienated from me---I’m there where my motorbike is. I fell in love with motorbikes ever since I was in standard seven. I did not have a motorbike in those days at my home. Thus, I would look for every available opportunity to ride my friends&

Sapana Roka Magar’s life from an innocent village girl to becoming an award-winning personality is full of ups and downs. Even at 22, she has already faced so much humiliation, negation, and refutation in her life that now nothing bothers her. Sapana Roka Magar has dedicated her life to cremating abandoned dead bodies. By LB THAPA Sapana Roka Magar is a young girl at her 22. Her innocent-looking face and docile demeanor actually belie her tall personality. Today she is a well-known girl in the country who has been voluntarily cremating abandoned dead bodies and that too all alone, mostly at Pashupati Aryaghat.   In a conservative society like ours where most women are not allowed to perform the last rite of the dead bodies. However, Sapana Roka Magar dared to break orthodox tradition and started cremating the abandoned dead bodies who were waiting for someone to cremate them.   Sapana Roka Magar’s life from an innocent village girl to becoming an award-winning personality is fu

  At present, there are fourteen universities and several colleges in the country, which provide professional degrees and diplomas in various subjects. However, the lure of studying abroad has not abated at all. Does this mean Nepali universities and colleges provide low-quality education? More young Nepalese students prefer to receive foreign degrees than studying the same course at home.   Photo: LB Thapa By LB THAPA If recent statistics are observed then it is evident that the number of students going to study abroad has been regularly on the rise. The Ministry of Education issued 85,758 No Objection Letter (NOC) between 2018 and 2019. For Australian higher education institutes, this number was 42,631 and for China and Japan, this number went up to 3,164 and 12,317. As many as 2112 students had received NOC for higher education in South Korea.        These statistics suggest that Nepali students going abroad for higher education is on the increasing trend. Although due to the corona

  The pioneer women rafters of Nepal By LB THAPA The history of commercial rafting is not very old in Nepal. With the establishment of Himalayan River Runners in 1979, Nepal had taken its very first step in the field of white water rafting. A decade later, the Government of Nepal formally recognized the Nepal Association of Rafting Agents (NARA) in 1989.   After 1989, more rafting activities began happening in Nepal. Today many rafting and kayaking professionals turn to Nepal because Nepal has many world-famous rivers, which are highly suitable for both rafting and kayaking.   Nepal’s overall performance in rafting is satisfactory if not outstanding. Last time the Nepali rafting team did participate in the 18 th Himalayan White Water Challenge, which was held in Nepal in 2019. Nepal had to be satisfied with the 10 th spot in the competition.
