...country so long to get television. Mainly because the King of Bhutan finally welcomed the arrival of modern communications technology to his Buddhist kingdom in June 1999. They were the last country in the world to legalize television. The reason for that is their religion, they believe that don’t need technology. Bhutan is an interior country in South Asia at the eastern end of the Himalayas. It is surrounded to the north by China and to the south, east and west by India. To the west, it is separated from Nepal by the Indian state of Sikkim, while farther south it is separated from Bangladesh by the Indian states of Assam and West Bengal. Bhutan's capital and largest city is Thimphu. It’s a small country that no one dares to bother mainly because they’re so distant from everyone. Alexis Bloom is a journalist and documentary filmmaker and has been traveling. When she heard about that television was coming to Bhutan she was eager to go there and make a documentary about it. For centuries, Bhutan followed a policy of self-imposed separation and organized change, with a specific effort on the protection of its unique olden culture and paid little to no attention to the world around it. So far, Bhutan has been a country that numbers more monks than soldiers, and that cares more for general happiness than the national merchandise. But things could change quickly change. The almost ‘untouched country’, has now been dug open all over the place to unqualified television cables and connections...

...By: Ram Adhikari February 12, 2015 Life as a Refugee Have you ever imagined what you would do if your life was controlled by others? Or, if you had to survive with the food that is provided to you and your family by others every other week? Have you ever lived your life depending on the person who is next to you? Asking for food to eat when you were hungry? Life is not always easy growing up in a refugee camp. It is not like growing up in a decent family where every family member has a well-paying job, nice house to live, enough food to eat, and good clothes to wear. I was born in a Bhutanese refugee camp of Nepal. In the camp, there was a lack of everything. For basic needs, there was not a enough food to eat, not good clothes to wear, limited access to proper education, and few opportunities. There was not proper place to sleep, not good water to drink. In the miserable situation of the refugee camp, it was very strenuous to find any kind of job. My parents were not well educated to have a decent paying job to send me to private school. My father usually muddled through minimum wage jobs to fulfill our wants. In the camp, every house and school had unfinished flat roofs. I can still remember in winter, we could the feel thunder storm outside of the house sitting in the kitchen in front of a burning fire. Water would not stop dropping from every house because of unfinished flat roofs. Every year many people died from various diseases like asthma, cancer, tuberculosis, diabetes...

...Girl Trafficking in Nepal Tens of thousands of Nepalese girls and women are trafficked each year. They end up in brothels as sex workers or in homes and factories as slaves. They are trafficked within Nepal and to countries such as India, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Hong Kong and the UAE. Nepal is traditionally a patriarchal society where women in general and girl children in particular are treated as second class citizens. While this is changing in the cities and larger towns where people are more educated, discrimination still exists in rural areas, especially among low caste and marginalized indigenous communities. Girls are simply not valued as much as their brothers. This discrimination manifests itself in many ways, but one of the most insidious is the failure to understand the significance educating a girl child. One of the reasons girls are valued less is because, traditionally, they have not been educated. And if they have little value, why educate them. This self perpetuating spiral of ignorance and worthlessness results in girls being seen as expendable commodities, at least in relation to boys, and known risks are put aside if there is a chance that she can find work and send back much needed cash to her family. Girls and their families are tricked with promises of good paying jobs in glamorous cities, lured by proposals of marriage from handsome strangers and sometimes just taken and sold by middlemen known as dalals. Nepal is a source country for many migrant workers...

...I can't communicate with other people easily and it has been a problem in my studies", said Nischal Adhikari, one of the international students from Nepal studying at ULM. What Nischal felt is also felt by many other students as well. The International students, who come from a completely different culture and environment, face difficulty in adjusting to a new place. Language barrier is a problem they experience most. "Everything is different here, I am finding it hard to adjust here", said one of my friend who is also a freshman here at ULM. Change in culture affects the students' mentality and they have a hard time coping with the new environment. Students really cannot concentrate on their studies and they find it difficult to maintain their grades due to emotional...

...beauty of the landscapes does not compare to the man made buildings and streets. The film seems to reveal the theme that modern society and technology has corrupted nature and that we should get back in touch with nature. 3. After watching Baraka, I got the message that it is important to be exposed to different cultures and appreciate the nature aspect of the world. 4. In this case, the absence of voice and text does put the film at an disadvantage because showing is much more effective than telling. The theme is clearly revealed through the footages shown and dialogue and text would be too distracting. 5. The Tibetan buddhist monks prayer near Swayambunath stupa, Kathmandu, Nepal is applied to culture in the movie.Sao Paulo, Brazil is applied to city life in the movie.

...Places which are densely populated are habitable environments e.g. Europe. If we look at the population distribution of Nepal, we find that the population is not equally distributed in all parts of the country. The distribution of the population is unequal due to the diversity in land structure, climate, soil and available natural resources and means. More population is concentrated in the places where the facilities such as transportation, employment, education, health services, communication, etc. are available. The places where these facilities are not available have less population pressure. For example, the Terai region of Nepal has many facilities such as employment, transportation, communication, etc and because these, more population is concerned in this region. But the mountainous region of Nepal is pretty cold with difficult land topography. The facilities of transportation communication, employment etc. is also not available there. Therefore, the population is sparsely distributed in the mountainous region of Nepal. The value for Population density (people per sq. km of land area) in Nepal was 208.99 as of 2010. As the graph below shows, over the past 49 years this indicator reached a maximum value of 208.99 in 2010 and a minimum value of 69.35 in 1961. The population census 2011 (2068) has shown the geographical distribution of population of Nepal as follows. |Region |Population...

...Roman Karki Mr. Shane Horn T.O.K. Year 1, Monday 22nd September 2012 Reflection on Knowledge In Context of Values Subjects, Activities and their Significance The previous schooling system which I was a part of had the basic emphasis on academics along with reasonable presence of basic extracurricular activities (that is to say visual arts, dance, music and sports). Those however where seldom emphasized and we were made to focus more on our academic school life rather than extracurricular. There were students talented in many other fields besides academics, but they were praised only on the field not in the class, the teachers would inform us that extracurricular is important for all round development but rarely any action was taken to support this statement. Moreover they were constantly told to focus on their academics more. I also found that the school failed to present extracurricular in more attractive manner. For example: During dance class the boys would rarely appear and were found to bunk class as they did not seem to find dance class worth their time and requested the teachers for excuse on gender basis. Visual arts were usually spent skipping, only the interested students could not bear to bunk class. Sports were popular obviously, but no one enforced mandatory participation to passive students who preferred to study in class instead of exercise. In music class, which was once a week most students rarely showed any intrigue towards learning their...

...1. Introduction The Hariyo Ban program is an ambitious program designed to benefit nature and people in Nepal. It was started with the vision of reducing adverse impacts of climate change and threats to biodiversity, by restoring and conserving forests while improving livelihoods, and building resilience to climate change in both people and ecosystems in 2011. It works on three core interwoven components – biodiversity conservation, sustainable landscapes and climate adaptation – with livelihoods, gender and social inclusion being important crosscutting themes. Hariyo Ban is a USAID-funded consortium of four core partner organizations – World Wildlife Fund (WWF), Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere (CARE), Federation of Community Forestry Users, Nepal (FECOFUN) and the National Trust for Nature Conservation (NTNC) – with WWF serving as the managing partner. The program finds its inspiration from the popular saying ‘Hariyo Ban Nepal Ko Dhan’ (Healthy green forests are the wealth of Nepal) which emphasizes the links between people and forests that underpins the project’s approach (Sundar Safalta, part 1). CHAL covers the 32057 square km area from Terai 200 m to Himal 8091 m above to see level in central Nepal. The landscape includes all or part of 19 districts and is drained by six major perennial rivers and their tributaries of the broader Gandaki River System. In this region varity of climates (hot in terai to cold in Himalaya) can be found. More than 35 percent...

...changing world around him and his responsibility towards it. His story is one of inspiration borne out of struggle and torment, the relentless pursuit of an aesthetic ideal, and one man’s determination to make a difference. Early beginnings Being born into a relatively affluent Newar family, Dwarika Das Shrestha was sent to school in India at the tender age of six. With less than one percent of the Nepali population being literate, in the early 1950s, as Nepal took its first steps towards democracy, it was ill equipped to face the challenges of modernisation. It stood at a position where it could neither fully embrace the dramatic changes that modernity brought, nor fully comprehend the value and potential of its ancient cultural heritage. Dwarika Das Shrestha completed his education with a degree in law and commerce in the early 1950s, and returned to Nepal with the dream of helping Nepal regain its past glory. His first business was the establishment of the first hotel in Nepal, Paras Hotel, in 1952, at a time when Nepal was yet to establish itself as a tourist destination. The hotel’s primary patrons were Indian and Nepali pilgrims who came to visit the Pashupati Temple. Back then, charging religious pilgrims for shelter was considered sacrilegious and earned Dwarika Das the wrath of his family. In the late 1950s, Dwarika Das Shrestha bought the land upon which The Dwarika’s Hotel is now located and built on it a small family home, incorporating into the design some of the...
