The Himalayan Times 29 July 2014 Remarkable agreement Apropos of the news story “ Nepal high on India ’s priority: Swaraj” (THT, 26 July, Page 1). After long time, it seems that India has realised Nepal ’s strategic importance in the regional peace and stability.   It is, indeed, a welcome statement made by the visiting Indian Minister for External Affairs Sushma Swaraj. However, there are a number of issues that India has to come forward with open heart to amicably resolve as a good and sincere neighbour. She has shown some indication that India seems serious about what it says. There are a number of age-old bilateral agreements that may need detailed review and to revisit by both countries in order to meet the demands of the 21 st century. The importance given by the India ’s new government on these issues seems praiseworthy. Nepal should grasp this opportunity to sort out the weaknesses included in these bilateral agreements and amend to suit presen...

The Himalayan Times 22 July 2014 Monsoon havoc The monsoon has started creating havoc in different parts of the country as reported in “Two killed, hundreds displaced in far-west floods”. Two people lost their lives and two have gone missing and hundred of families were displaced due to the incessant rainfall in Dadeldhura alone. Nepal Army barracks was forced to relocate to Jagbudha based Area Forest Office. Other parts of Dadeldhura has been severely affected by the floods. These kinds of havoc may continue to take place during this monsoon in the hilly areas of Nepal . No body can control the natural calamity and no body can also forecast where the disasters will take place. However, the concerned authorities need to be prepared to minimize the loss of property and the lives of innocent people from such natural disasters. For that, timely preparation of evacuation plan, effective management of logistics and resettlement of effected people should be in place. ...

It was another hot day in Delhi and completely occupied with the orientation program at WLC college. My mind was completely overloaded with the information disseminated during the whole day session. Another three days still to go with the similar program. I hope I can bear it and spend these three days just like this.

It was a good and fruitful second day having meetings with different department heads of  WLC college and knowing more about it.  Lunch was really good. All the resource persons were helpful and friendly

I landed at Delhi airport at 1515 on 10 July 2014 on an official assignment and will probably stay here until 16th July. It is so hot you cannot even imagine. I feel like burning from inside. However, afternoon time remained fruitful in terms of knowing about Wigan & Leigh college ) WLC and it operation. I am looking forward for other orientation program which may be helpful in motivating me to fully take up the assignment.

The Himalayan Times 8 July 2014 Vigilance necessary The government should have formed long ago a high level committee to study the status of I/NGO funded activities and brought them under its purview in one way or the other. The absence of regular and affective control mechanism in the government system has made difficult to assess the real situation of I/NGO funded development programs. The existing Social Welfare Centre (SWC) does not seem to have developed such mechanism making itself merely a non functioning organization. This situation has made I/NGOs easier to channel their development funds in their own ways. However, it was good to know that the government has now realized about this burning issues and formed a high level committee under the leadership of National Vigilance Centre to investigate the impacts and consequences of I/NGO activities in Nepal and identify the problems with SWC as well in “Strong regulation of INGO/s sought” (THT, 6 July, Page 1). ...

The Himalayan Times 4 July 2014 Ailing health services   It was sad to read the news report “X-ray machine goes kaput, patients inconvenienced” (THT, 3 July, Page 5) when the government continues to talk about health and education for all by 2015. The conditions of government’s health delivery services in the rural and remote areas are very pathetic. Even the district hospitals in some of the districts are ineffectively running due to the lack of proper infrastructures, equipments, medicines and human resources. For the treatment of some of the diseases the X-rays are essential to identify the causes. How come the treatment of some specific diseases be possible in Phidim Health Centre if its X-ray machine goes out of order. This situation had badly affected the surrounding villages. Even, the villagers had contributed to buy a generator to run the machine a year ago. I had the opportunity to closely work with the district hospitals, Primary Health Centres, He...

The Kathmandu Post 24 June 2014 WHAT FOR? If the political parties of Nepal are to continue practicing self and party-centred politics and undermining the national agenda, it does not make any sense or difference to form an alliance (“Maoist parties closer to working alliance deal” 22 June, Page 1) . So far, most of the political parties are engaged in petty politics rather than working on issues of national interest. It’s very unfortunate that this unproductive practice has prolonged Nepal ’s transition. The major political parties failed to draft a new constitution in the erstwhile Constitutional Assembly (CA) because of these bad political practices. However, it was encouraging to read the news of the Maoists coming together and trying to collectively work towards addressing the national issues. But, it seems a bit unnatural to see these Maoist parties coming together at a time when the second CA is preparing for drafting new constitution within the promised tim...
