  Focusing on the syllabus or delving into the outer realm By Dipshan Sharma At present, students have many options to choose a subject of their interest and liking. As science has made tremendous progress, education has become more accessible now than ever before. However, only some colleges and universities can provide such facilities to their students. This is only possible in the developed countries.  When plenty of subjects are available for the students, they are advised to focus on the subject recommended in the syllabus. Parents and teachers also ask students to study books recommended in the syllabus. And they should not waste their time by reading other books not included in their syllabus.  However, many recent studies have indicated that those students who study books have been found more intelligent. A good student should not be confined within the periphery of the syllabus. They must explore more wisdom that they can find in books other than their syll...

  Setting an equilibrium between work and study By Sumitra Paudel Bhanubhakta Secondary School, Simpani Pokhara I understand the situation for international students who work while studying. This adjustment certainly causes mental stress for students.  In the meantime, most learned people opine that the allotted time for the international students should be cut short so that they can spend more time for their studies. However, I don’t think this is necessary at all. Nowadays, most college students work part-time while studying in their respective countries. Thus, they are quite familiar with the situation, and they know how to manage their time for study and work.  It should be understood that not all the students who go to study abroad are from well-to-do families. Many of them are from middle-class families. Part-time work is not a choice for them; it is a necessity for them. In such a situation, if working time is cut short, this will directly affect the studen...

  MODERNIZATION AND INDUSTRIALIZATION CAUSE THE ENVIRONMENT TO FALL APART By Sujan Pun Prativa Higher Secondary School Pokhara, Nepal The rapid pace of industrialization has put tremendous pressure on the natural ecosystem. This has further caused many negative impacts on the natural environment. Due to such developments, many species have come on the verge of extinction. If truth be told, then for the loss of flora and fauna, only human beings are accountable. In the name of industrialization and modernization, human beings have played havoc against nature.  Due to globalization, the world has shrunk to a small village. This is true because, due to industrialization, many economic activities have increased across the world. Increasing numbers of industries and rapidly increasing populations have turned the environment from bad to worse. Ever increasing numbers of transportations and the release of toxic chemicals by many industries have made matters worse. So-called techn...

Photo credit: onlinekhabar   THE TREASURE TROVE OF NEWAR COMMUNITY OF NEPAL By Sumnima Shrestha New Galaxy Secondary School, Pokhara I come from a Newar community. However, many people in my country belong to different castes, cultures, and communities. These communities are well known for their unique art, culture, tradition, history, foods, costumes, and languages. Thus, culture plays a dominant role in Nepal, which is understood to be a multi-cultural and multi-lingual country.   Every person therefore has to put enough effort to protect and promote his or her own cultural values. Without culture, our lives will be dull, empty, and prosaic. Our future generation must know about the cultural history of their respective communities.   The Newari culture is one of the best-known cultures in Nepal. Moreover, it is rich and vibrant at the same time. The Newari people celebrate several festivals and Jatras, which have been observed since immemorial.   Photo c...

  TESTING OF DRUGS ON ANIMALS Should the practice be continued? By Pratik Dhakal More people in recent times feel that animals should not be used for medical experiments. However, some people continue to believe that using animals in medical experiments is necessary to save human lives.  Medical experiments on animals have been a topic of serious debate. People on both ends seem right in their own way, but the question remains the same. Should animals be used for medical experiments?  Testing drugs on animals is an important part of medicine production. Before any medicine is sold for human consumption, first it is tested on animals. If the medicine works positively on them only, then the medicine is considered for human consumption. It is important to ensure the safety and effectiveness of drugs before they are used on humans.  Nevertheless, advancements in technology have led to the development of alternative methods, such as in vitro testing and the use ...

  Importance of Girl's e ducation in Nepal By Sneha Pariyar Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world, said Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, the first South African President. However, many girls and women in Nepal still need to dream of getting a quality education and becoming working professionals. According to the Government of Nepal, the Office of the Prime Minister, and the Council of Ministers, in 2021 only 69.4% of women in Nepal are literate, which means 30.6% of women still need to acquire basic literacy. Hence, breaking the barrier of social shackles and accessing education has become a huge challenge for many girls in my country.   Poor accessibility of education to women is the main cause of their misery and widespread suffering. They cannot grab state benefits and remain backward and forgotten. Seeing the plight of many women in my country, I have decided to bring awareness to women through my writings. I want to work for women's edu...

  PROMOTE TOURISM WITH CARE AND CAUTION By Safal Khanal The rapid pace of globalization has helped world tourism growing fast. Over the past few years, tourism has become one of the major contributors to the economy of several nations. When tourism has many good aspects but that does not mean that it does not have any darker facets. Of course, it has, if not many but definitely some.  The first important thing about tourism is it has created employment. Tourism sector utilizes natural resources, art, culture, tradition and even literature to draw more national and international tourists in the country.  Tourists spend money on a wide range of services such or hotels, transportation, foods and purchasing local produce. This way national and international tourists help country’s economy grow fast. Tourism does also boost travel industry and helps to improve basic infrastructure. For instance, influx of more tourists will create more demand for hotels, tourist guides a...

  Computers and teachers are meant for the betterment of students By Prashna Bhari It has rightly been mentioned that the use of computers has brought a sea change almost in every field. Hardly has there been any field where computers are not used nowadays. After all, computers make difficult tasks much easier. Due to the rapid pace of technological inventions, computers have become more sophisticated and much more effective. With the help of computer technology, modern science has achieved many successes, which are simply mind-boggling indeed.  Many techno-friendly people suggest that when computers are so smart and capable of doing amazing things, why not allow computers to teach students in schools, colleges, and universities?   Well, I am completely against this idea. Certainly, computers are the lifeblood of modern science. Modern science cannot be imagined without computer technology. But it does not mean computers can replace teachers. No matter how inte...

  Development for underdeveloped countries By Parisha Ranabhat It is a dream of poor countries to achieve economic development. They want to drive their countries on the smooth path of all-round development. But it is easier said than done. Poor countries must work hard to uplift the basic infrastructure of their countries. Without developing those infrastructures, real economic development will remain an illusion and far from reality. Among many important infrastructures, three sectors of the economy—health, education, and trade—must be taken with utmost sincerity.  The health sector is important in the sense that if most people are healthy, they are fit to make physical contributions. However, in poor countries, the health sector is in a poor state, and most people struggle even for minor ailments. Time wasted on treatment is time lost for their physical and mental contribution for the country. This is not the case with rich countries.  Poor countries should also ...
