SHOULD THE GOVERNMENT INVEST MORE IN RAILWAYS OR ROADS? Krishala Thapa St. Mary’s Secondary School, Naya Goan, Pokhara A fast and safe transportation system is one of the most important aspects of the development of a country. It is the duty of the government to take decisions that ensure citizens fast and safe transportation. When the question arises whether a government should focus on improving railways or roads, people seem to have divided opinions. Some people think that more money should be spent on roads, as roads can be built in places where trains cannot run. However, at the same time, other people think that money should be spent on railways as they can travel longer distances in shorter times.  First of all, railways offer safe transportation, as accidents in the railway system are far less common than road accidents. Second, rail can carry hundreds of thousands of people and tons of goods at a time, which is not possible with road transport. Moreover, railways can b...

  WONDERS OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY VIS-À-VIS HISTORY Pradip Sharma Informatics College, Pokhara, Nepal Science and technology have brought revolution to this world. Since humans lived in caves and survived by hunting wild animals, today the new generation of the same ancestors lives a comfortable life. The manifestation of nature has become possible in the form of science and technology. Everything that is best today is the gift of modern science. The new face of the world has become possible only due to the advancement of modern-day science and technology. In the past, our ancestors worshipped the moon that shone brightly above their heads in the night. They considered the moon to be a powerful god. It was out of their imagination that one day their offspring would land over the moon. But this imagination turned into reality, and its credit goes to science and technology. Nowadays, we have many scientific gadgets that perform amazing things. Such things are countless in the...

  THE SCIENCE OF MAKING FRIENDS Pratima Kandel Pokhara College of Management Many people believe in making several friends. However, other people think differently. According to them, a crowd of friends is no better than a few selected friends. In a situation like this, when people are divided, it is quite difficult to say who is right and who is wrong. But what is true about friends is that they are the people who always come forward with helping hands and help us at difficult times.  If we have many friends, then the chances of getting timely help will be higher than if we have only a few friends. This is always true in our lives. This may be the reason many people around us prefer to have many friends.  I have many friends, and like me, many of them believe in making many friends. However, I know some people who are introverted by nature. They are much happier within themselves than in a company. They have a limited circle of friends, and they are very satisfied ...

  INTRODUCING ART AS A SUBJECT IN SCHOOLS Jotika Pariyar Phasatikar Higher Secondary School, Butwal, Nepal It has been rightly mentioned that studying art in schools helps improve students’ performance and helps them learn new things. Learning a new thing is a never-ending process.  All schools teach subjects that have been approved by the curriculum board. Teachers don’t allow their students to read books other than their course books. This makes our students no better than bookworms.  All schools encourage their students to study hard and pass the examination with flying colors. A 100 percent success rate for students with high scores is the first priority of boarding schools. The school’s reputation is at stake only if pass percentages are not met.  I strongly recommend that art, a new subject, be introduced in schools. Art should not only be introduced but it should also be made compulsory across the country. The introduction of art will make our students...

  MOLDING CHILDREN’S HABIT By Deep Roka Rainbow Academic Boarding School, Ram Bazaar, Nepal Mobile phones are ubiquitous. The growing use of mobile phones has made many tasks much simpler and less time-consuming. Mobile phones are the wonder of science, no doubt. However, everything has good as well as bad impacts on our lives, and mobile phones are no exception. If mobile phones are misused, then it may cause many health-related issues. Not only this, but also nowadays, mobile phones have become an important tool of cyber-crime. Nowadays, it is found that teenagers excessively use mobile phones, and this has wreaked havoc on their physical and mental health. Mobile phones are the carriers of many popular media, such as Instagram, Whats-app, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and so on. Not only can these, but many mobile phones can be used to play popular video games. Now, new movies can also be watched on Netflix and Amazon Prime. Such a wide range of facilities has made mobile ph...

EDUCATION FOR ONE AND ALL By Atal Chhetri Pokhara Engineering College, Nepal There has been a perpetual argument about whether the government of a country should provide education for every single citizen of the country. Educated people are the backbone of the all-round development of any country. However, it is the moral responsibility of the government to educate all its citizens. Skilled manpower always plays a supportive role in giving impetus to the national economy. Their contributions lead nations to prosperity. These people are highly creative; hence, they are extremely productive as well. On the other hand, education will help reduce the unemployment rate in the country. Decreasing unemployment means more people are engaged in productive activities. This will further help the country increase its overall Gross Domestic Production (GDP). Thus, the light of education must spread to every nook and cranny. Take the example of any developed nation, and it is evident that behi...

  STUDENTS AND PART-TIME JOB By Ashmita Bhandari Pokhara Adarsha Secondary School Nowadays, students prefer to do part-time jobs along with their studies. The market's dearness has increased tremendously, and goods and services have gone beyond common people’s reach. College and university tuition fees are no exception. Due to the exorbitant tuition fees of educational institutions, many students drop the idea of continuing their studies. To cope with this situation, students must find part-time jobs to continue their college or university studies.  Students need to work when they study in their own countries. They have to migrate from one town to another big city to pursue higher education. In a situation like this, they have to manage their expenditures. Expenditures on food, room rent, college tuition fees, and other miscellaneous expenses must be met regularly. For this, a steady income is necessary, and to meet such expenses, students must work.  This is also t...

  Competition or cooperation: A difficult choice for teachers and parents By Anita Giri Bal Vidhya Mandir Secondary School, Kohlpur, Banke, Nepal Most of the time, competition and cooperation are considered rivals to each other. Though most people stand in favor of competition, at least it seems. They suggest that our students and our children should be taught the sense of competition. Competition actually begins the day a child is born. And competition is everywhere. The truth has it that nothing can be achieved in life without facing competition and this is a reality. Preparation for competition actually enables one to grab many opportunities. Such opportunities cannot materialize if the person is not prepared for the opportunity. Now the question is what makes them able to benefit from such opportunities. For this, a simple answer is preparation for the competition. Thus, it can be said that competition is the essence of life. This may be the reason many scholars suggest p...

  ASPIRING HIGHER EDUCATION AND PART-TIME JOB By Pratikshya Shai Yes, nowadays many students do a part-time job to meet their expenses. Many students try to find part-time jobs at restaurants, coffee shops, gas stations, supermarkets, and so on. Balancing work and study together is a challenging task for students. It will certainly lead to mental stress. However, students can still cope with the situation by applying time management skills. Without a doubt, students must pay attention to their studies. However, giving full time to study is a luxury for some students whose parents are financially well off. For the majority of students, this luxury is merely a will-o-the-wisp. They must have to work, and for this, time management is necessary. Study and work can go together, and a healthy relationship can be established successfully. There is nothing wrong if students work and learn some new skills together. Playing sports, interacting with others, obtaining new knowledge, and ...

  THE WORLD HAS BECOME MUCH NARROWER TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE By Dibya Laxmi Pokhrel Nations are becoming more and more similar today in many ways. Let’s take an example. People can purchase similar products anywhere and everywhere on the globe. Therefore, nowadays, people feel at home even if they are miles away from their homes. Nations seem to be similar, as individuals don’t find themselves strange no matter which country they visit. They find more or less familiar things around them. This brings a sense of belonging and comfort to them. Due to the nature of today’s international market, the whole world has become much more familiar with each other than ever before. I appreciate such modern developments. It has helped maintain standardization across the world. Without standardization, the concept of international trade can never exist. Because of international trade, one country’s demand is no different from that of other countries. Due to international trade and interdepende...

  Save the environment to save one and all By Sushant Lamicchane Prativa Secondary School, Palikhe Chowk Forests are a very significant natural resource in the world. In fact, it is also the main source of oxygen. Trees are spread all over the world, and these trees regularly release life-giving oxygen. However, over the years, the population growth rate has gone out of proportion, whereas the size of the forest has shrunk considerably. As a result, the world is facing nature’s wrath in many forms.   Oxygen is essential for every living organism. Life will be wiped off the earth only if oxygen dries up in the environment. Thus, trees are extremely important to have enough oxygen in the environment.  The forest is the home of different wild animals. Trees provide shelter for many animals. Grass, herbs, and shrubs are the food of many animals. Thus, whether it is humans or animals, we all depend on the forest. If the forest is healthy, there will be life on ear...

  THE RAMIFICATIONS OF MIGRATION Aliza Timsina Hemja Boarding School, Pokhara, Nepal   These days, the trend of migration has significantly increased from rural to urban areas. People often move from villages to urban areas. Some take migration as a natural process, while others take it as a negative trend. That’s why they want to stop internal migration for good.  People migrate for various reasons. Many individuals and families move to seek better job prospects and a higher income. So that they can improve their standard of living. On the other hand, environmental challenges such as natural disasters, climate change, or environmental degradation can make areas uninhabitable, which results in migration.  Moreover, due to the lack of political freedom, many people prefer to leave their home country in search of safety and stability. People may also migrate to be with their family members who have already moved to another country.  The fact is that migr...

  UNEMPLOYMENT, A SERIOUS PROBLEM Ayushma Poudel Dhaulagiri Boarding School, Hemja, Pokhara, Nepal Sagarmatha Secondary School, Pokhara, Nepal It is a well-known fact that unemployment has become a global issue. Poor countries and developing and developed countries have been grappling with the unemployment problem in recent years.  Unemployment does not affect some people in the country, but the entire system of the country will come under its influence. Finally, a growing unemployment rate will directly cause the national economy to collapse.  The main reason for unemployment in many poor countries is corruption and misuse of natural resources and human resources, among others. Corruption is like a termite that eats away the country from the inside and makes it hollow. Similarly, corruption sucks all the juice out of the country and leaves it dead. This is exactly what has happened in many corrupt countries in recent times.  The education curriculum is also no...

  Degradation of environment can doom the entire modern edifice Sarita Ranabhat Tal Barahi Secondary School, Lakeside, Pokhara Environmental problems have gripped many headlines in recent years. Due to human selfishness, the environment has been tremendously influenced. As a result, a large number of species are on the verge of extinction, and the entire biodiversity is at great risk.  The ongoing poaching in many countries cannot be taken for granted. Illegal hunting of some wild animals has pushed them near extinction. Many wild animals, such as rhinos, elephants, black bucks, tigers, and so on, are on the hit list of the poachers. They kill these animals and sell their body parts on the international black market for a high price. Moreover, some animals are killed only to use their body parts for medicinal purposes. Regular human encroachment on forests has compelled many wild animals to leave their habitats. Such an act of habitat destruction has become the cause of the ...
