The importance of Education

Education is the act of learning. It makes a man responsive to change. Only change can bring progress. Therefore, education is very necessary. To be educated means to be able to lead a trained life. By learning, a person can have knowledge of many things. Form the knowledge he gains through education, he can develop himself and can also help to develop his family’s society and the country. It makes him realize why change is necessary for development besides, people become scholars and scientists by means of education is his home, from his sisters, brothers and his parents. Later on, he learns many things in schools. Afterwards in colleges, he studies a subject of his choice. In this way he becomes an educated person.
Education plays a vital role in the overall development of man kind. It makes scholars, and technicians who can serve for the country’s development.
Education can also be said to be our internal eyes. If the external eyes helps man to work, walk and do various activities, internal eyes helps him to deeply and to separate right from wrong. So it will not be wrong to say that a person is blind without education. Although he will have external eyes but without internal eyes he will lack the insight to be able to work accurately. Education is a wealth of a man. It can not be robbed or lost. It is therefore we are accurate to say that education is an important factor of development of a man, his family, a society and a country.

The Farmer

In agricultural country like Nepal the role of the farmer in the society cannot be minimized. He is an important member of our community. He grows crops and vegetables. We wouldn’t get our daily food if there was no farmer or if he doesn’t work. He gets up early in the morning and works on his farm almost the whole day. He is infact a very hard-working person. He plants different crops in different seasons. The farmers of our country are generally poor and illiterate. Some farmers do not have land of their own. They are called tenants. They are poorer than the farmers who have their own land. Besides, lack of irrigation, market facilities and poor method of farming has not encouraged the farmers at all. We all must teach, love and respect the farmers who provides the food we everyday.

Pollution

Presence of unwanted intolerable or poisonous substance on the environment is known as pollution. It can also be said as the negative sides of progress of science and technology. Besides, over population is also an important factor which has added to the problem of pollution.
With the rapid progress of science and technology there are several man made machines used for our different purpose. There are many industries which give off poisonous gases like, carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, carbon dioxides and etc. Besides the thick means of transportations also add to the impurity of our environment. The wastes are haphazardly thrown anywhere. The waste substance which comes out from the different machineries are very harmful to the health of living things.
Therefore before it gets too late we all must join our hands together and solve this problem. I think we all must promise to stop cutting down trees. We must stop throwing wastes haphazardly. We must plant trees and preserve greeneries. Government should launch programmes to recycle wastes To solve this terrific problem we all must contribute ourselves our helping hands if we think our generation should continue.

Nepal’s population problem

Population in recent years is continuously multiplying in the world. This is a burning question to the developing country like ours. The problem of over population has created a big hindrance in the path if development. Every year thousand of mouths are added to this piece if land.
There are different factors for the cause of this multiplicity. The most serious cause is no education. Majority of people are uneducated and they are very unaware of the bad effects of population. The second factor is poverty. More than 50% of our people are under poverty. Their only source of income is their hands. These people due to lack of education and poverty think that if they have more children, they can send them for work and run their families livelihood. The other most serious factor for this rapid growth is religious and social conventions. Old and uneducated people think that children are the blessing of god and they don’t like to stop producing children. Moreover thinking that a boy is the successor of the family, they keep on trying for son even if they have huge number of daughters. Besides, dowry system in the minds of people that if they have more sons more wealth enters their houses as dowries during the marriage.
Many NGOS and INGOS are at continuous work to reduce over growth of the population. They have all been struggling a fruitless fight because unless the people are educated. It is very difficult to break the social conventions about family growth and make the people understand about the evils of over population. It is therefore our first and serious effort should be to make people educated and thereby making they understand the evils of over population.

Natural Resources of Nepal

Things given by nature for the development of living beings are termed as natural resources. Water, air, forests, soil, minerals etc. are the example of natural resources. Water and air are the basic components of living being are survival. Food, clothes and shelter are another important components fulfilled from the natural resources. Naturally made but are not made by human beings.
Natural has been so kind to us that it has bestowed all natural resource in our land. Water, the common necessity for the survival of life and very essential for agricultural development is the main natural resources of our country. Nepal has many wide and deep natural rivers namely Koshi, Karnali, Mahakali, Seti, Gandaki are swiftly flowing rivers of Nepal. However, due to the lack of power and financial resources, we have fallen behind to derive all and full advantage from these natural gifts.
Nepal also receives the shares of minerals from natural distribution. However, Nepal is not very rich in minerals. Iron is found in Thoseko hills of Ramechhap and Fuchoki hills of Lalitpur district. Magnesium, lead, zine, limestones etc. are also found in Nepal. Due to lack of technicians, tools and finance many more spots of minerals have yet to be found.

Drug Addiction-A Menace

A drug is a substance used for a medical purpose either alone or in mixture. It becomes poisonous when taken in over doses drugs affect not only the body but the brain too. Morphia, a drug obtained from opium cases sleep. The diseases of the mind are more dangerous than that those of the body. The men of the medicine extract drugs from some parts of the plants which contain the elements of the drug. The drug extracted from the roots of rauwolfia and cinchona causes high blood pressure.
Sometimes must be done to save our youths from going astray because youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow. This great and stupendous task cannot be performed by diseased minds. So every possible remedy must be put into immediate action before drug addiction becomes wide spread and out of control. The authorities concerned must stop the smuggling of each and every citizen to sweep our nation clean of garbage produced by drugs. Mny parents have been applying various preventive measures to free their sons and daughters from drug addiction. They are successful only to some extent. If we want our nation to march ahead we must do our best to stop drug addiction by every possible ways and means. The problem of drug addiction must be tackled before this deadly menace gets upon the whole nation.

Deforestation

Deforestation means cutting down trees either to make space for people or for wood. With the rapid growth of population the space available now has become too small. People have therefore started cutting down trees to make room for their homes and for cultivating food. People are so unaware so that they cut down trees very frequently. People of the village are very ignorant. They don’t understand the importance of green trees. People cut down trees to make rooms or to gather fire wood or for wood for furniture. There are many people who depend upon jungle for their daily needs. They cut down trees and sell the wood for their living. Lack of education, poverty and over population are three main factors to cause deforestation.
Due to lack of education, the people have not understood the importance of green forests. Forests are the home of many wild insect, birds and animals. Due to deforestation, they are directly affected. All the animals which live in jungles are part of the biological eco-system. It is very necessary to understand that every of these animals are part of the eco system.
Besides forests helps to restore the balance of nature. It purifies the air. It stops the flood. Landslide and dissertation. By cutting down trees we are not only destroying ourselves. Before it gates late we all must understand the importance of forests and take all possible steps to stop deforestation. We all must be encourage to plant trees and preserve our precious forests. By preserving forest we are preserving ourselves.

Agriculture in Nepal

Nepal is a country of villages. It is also a land-locked country. Nepal has very less factories. The main occupation of the people is Agriculture. About 90% of the total population depends upon Agriculture can be minimized. Although Nepal is a small kingdom, the climate varies her from tropical hot climate of terai to freezing cold of Himalayas Different types of crops are grown in different variation of the climates. In the plain the land is fertile. The rainfall and other weather conditions are also suitable to grow crops. The main crops grown in the plain are rice, wheat, sugarcane, maize and pulses. Wheat is a winter crop. Jute is another important crop in the plains.
There are many factors which have affected our agriculture and the farmers. The most of the farmers are uneducated and therefore they don’t change their primitive method of farming. They don’t use scientific method of farming. Besides, the government is not able to train these farmers for scientific and intensive ways of farming. Although, Nepal is rich in water resources and many places have to depend on monsoon for irrigation. The irrigation facility is still not very wide. Chemical fertilizers are scarce and very costly. People can not afford to buy these chemical fertilizers. There is no good market for their products. Due to the problem of transportation they have to sell their agricultural products in cheap prices. If we are able to train farmers give them good irrigation facility and market and all necessary things we will certainly raise our agriculture.

People of Nepal

Nepal, officially Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is the world's youngest republic. Earlier, Nepal was a constitutional monarchy and it became a democratic republic on May 28, 2008. Locked within the rugged ranges of the Himalayas, Nepal is bounded by the Tibet region of China on the North and India on the South, East, and West. The Kingdom of Bhutan lies in its East whereas the Autonomous region of Tibet in Northeast. There are various entry points from the Indian side but the major ones are Nepal Gunj, Mahendra Nagar and Bir Gunj. From the Chinese side there are couple of passes to enter Nepal. Some of the major ones are Renjo La at 5465 meters, Cho La at 5420 meters and Kongma La at 5535 meters. There is only one entry to Tibet and Bhutan and that is Lungu La pass.

It was cut off from the rest of the world until the early 1950s. A palace revolution and the subsequent overthrow of the autocratic Rana dynasty marked the beginning of Nepal's emergence into the modern world. Kathmandu is the capital and the largest city.

Bartabanda

The ceremony begins with, you guessed it, the boys having their heads shaved except for a tiny tail on top that is tied with rings and sometimes jewels . The boys at the Kumbeshwor Temple were all wrapped in bright orange or yellow garb for rituals that last up to five hours. A priest instructs the boys in the lessons of manhood and gives each his own mantra shrouded in secret . There is much burning of incense, tossing of rice, dousing with vermilion powder and making of offerings.Each boy has a staff, a stick slung with bags of grain to feed him on his journey into manhood, a toy-like bow to protect himself from wild animals and a skin, preferably a deer skin, to sleep on as he journeys through the forest.
The boys take a symbolic journey, walking with their possessions around the ritual offerings laid out in front of them . The beautifully dressed women of the family make offerings of food to the boys to sustain them on their journey. At the end, a cotton string is looped over the boy's shoulder, signifying that he is now a man, even if he is only five

Religion in Nepal

Nepal was formerly the world's only constitutionally declared Hindu state, but following the movement for democracy in earlyParliament amended the constitution to make Nepal a secular state.

According to the 2001 census, 80.6 percent of Nepalese are 2006 and the breaking of King Gyanendra's power, the Nepali Hindu, 10.7 percent are Buddhist, 10% are Muslim[1], 3.6 percent are Kirat (an indigenous religion with Hindu influence), 0.5 percent are Christian, and 0.4 percent are classified as other groups such as Bön religion. Although the population is mostly Hindu, since the 1971 census Hindus have shown the greatest decline as a proportion of the population, and Buddhists and Kirats have increased the most: in 1971 Hindus were 89.4 percent of the population, Buddhists 7.5 percent, and Kirats statistically 0 percent. However, statistics on religious groups are complicated by the ubiquity of dual faith practices, particularly among Hindus and Buddhists. Moreover, shifts in the population's religious composition also reflect political changes.

Visit Nepal

It was only in the year 1980’s that Nepal came out of its centuries old loneliness and moved into the path of modern development. After Nepal has been opened for the world it has affected many fields. It has improved our economy through different aspects, Moreover; tourists coming from different places go back and make our nation known to many other people. Now, after 47 years, the government of our country ha decided to celebrate visit Nepal year 1998. The number of tourists was 6000 in 1962, and now it has increased to 377 thousands. The government is ready to welcome half a million tourist by 1998.
Tourists mainly come to our country with three purposes: firstly for viewing the natural beauties, secondly to observe the ancient and modern art and architecture, and the third with religious aspects. Though Nepal is small in size and poor in economy, it gives different unforgettable experiences and feelings to the people. Enchanting monuments and festivals of the Katmandu valley, snow peaks, the Himalayas the dense jungle, the birth place if Buddha and other opportunities like rafting, trekking and mountaineering are other important factors. Besides, many Hindus visit Nepal with religious aspects also.
It is very beneficial for our economy to increase the number of incoming tourists. Besides, it helps us to improve and open a lot of other areas such as hotels, transportation, and communication, shopping facilities, which also means progress. They leave their foreign currencies on our land. Furthermore, we can make our country known to the world through these tourists. Tourists are our guests. It becomes our responsibility to welcome them with our open arms. We all must therefore make visit Nepal year successful.

Village-life

People residing in village are said to have been enjoying country-life. Some people say that villagers are made by God, but towns are made by men. At first there were only villages and not towns. Nowadays, many villages have turned into towns and cities. The country life is very simple and peaceful. We enjoy there many beautiful sights of nature. We see green fields and beautiful flowers. We see the birds singing on the trees, we can enjoy fresh and pure air. We can get fresh fruits and vegetables. We can get pure milk and ghee. All these things are cheap in the country. People can live in the country with a small income. Their wants are few. The people in the country know one another hence one helps one’s neighbors’ in times of need, danger and difficulties.
But there are disadvantages also in the country. The roads are not good. There is no light in the road at night. The facilities of schools are very poor. There are hardly any libraries. People cannot learn much about the world. The facilities regarding transport are poor and primitive. For these reason their ideas are narrow. Life and property are not safe here as in the town. We cannot get all things even if we have money to spare. Good doctors are very few in the country. Sometimes we have to run to the nearest town for doctors, medicines and other necessaries of life.
It is difficult to say whether country-life better or the town-life is better. Some like the country-life while others city-life. Our National government is trying to improve the condition of the villages. Under its development scheme, it may be expected that people of the villages will enjoy many amenities of the town-life. Then more people will be attracted to live in the villages
.

Female Education

Female education means the education of woman. A nation consists of men woman. Women from nearly a half the population of a country. Beside women and men are the two wings of a bird. A bird need both of his wings healthy to fly. Similarly, progress is confirmed only when man and women are equally educated. Female education was neglected in our country in the earlier days. Still social connections and poverty has won to keep women at home with out education. Some women are still forbidden to go out and work in other fields of activities. This idea has however been slowly vhanged among the education people. We find some educated women in towns but village are still uneducated.
The people of town have realized the necessity of female education. They send their daughters to school and colleges. But the villagers have not realized this. Now, the government should turn their attention to the village also. The government should encourage the parents of village to send their daughters to school. The government should provide some facilities to them.
We should realize the necessity of female education and encourage our relations and neighbors’ to send their sons. We should make them realize that the family, a society or a country can not progress fully if female are not educated.

Dipawali

The Dipawali is the festival of lights. The festival is held at night. The Depawali is widely observed by the Hindus all over the world. There are mainly five days to celebrate crow’s festivals, dog’s, and cows, ox’s and Bhai Tika festivals The Dipawali is an important festival of the Hindus. Every year a lot of money is spent for the celebration of this festival. The Hindus decorate their houses with innumerable lights and flowers. They spend a lot of money on the night of Dipawali. The festival is held on the night. The Dipawali night looks very charming. The lights from houses make the streets well lighted. People are out at night to see and enjoy the lights On this occasion, people send presents of sweets and fireworks to their friends and relatives. Sometimes accidents occur when there is display of fireworks. Many people are wounded. Sometimes death occurs. In Nepal, all Hindus Nepali, celebrate Bhaitika more fascinatingly. They put tika from their sisters. It is said that putting tika and getting blessings from their sisters on that day saves them from their enemies and evil sprits and lengthens the span of their lives.

Democracy

The English word ‘Democracy’ is the union of the two Greek words ‘Demos’ and ‘Kratia’, Demos means ‘crowd’ and ‘Kratia’ means power. In this sense democracy means power of the crowd. But, however the meaning of word democracy is little different in reality then in true sense of the word. ‘Democracy’ very commonly means now, a rule by a majority of the people who act according to certain rules and regulations widely accepted by the people of a country. The most famous definition of democracy is as Abraham Lincon said, ‘It is a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
Nepal got democracy in B.S. 2007 after over- throwing the crucial rule of Ran’s. It was however been limited to one party system. In true sense, Nepal gained true freedom with democracy in multiparty system in B.S.2046. Now, we have democracy in multiparty system with the king as the head of the state. People can vote to the able candidates and send them to form a government body.
Democracy has many merits. It encourages and enables equal opportunities to make progress to all the people. People enjoy their rights. There is no difference for power since every citizen is equally granted with one vote right. People are supreme and can not be exploited by any dictator or group of persons. It gives freedom of expression to the nasses. People are free to develop their inherent capabilities which contribute to progress of the country.
There are also many demerits of democracy where the literacy rate is very poor. Democracy is the government of popular majorities. It is well known that majority of people in our country are uneducated, suppressed and controlled. In this case, the majority might sometimes, send worse people to make a member of governing body. Besides, to develop a country like ours, a long run plans are necessary. But in democracy long run plans are made by a government and at the time of implementation, the government’s period is over. The new coming government mostly disagrees to continue the old government’s plans. So, a country cannot make voters are always influenced by capitalists, industrialist, bosses of Mafia at the time of election, luring their votes with money.
In democracy system of government, the principle of power is used. Power will be distributed and separated to different organs of government. It helps in smooth running of the system. But, if only a country is literate people can then really enjoy the benefit of Democracy.

Dashain Festival

Dashain is the greatest festival of the Hindus of Nepal. The goddess Durga is worshipped in this festival. The puja generally takes place in the month of Aswin. Durga is worshipped for nine days. Many goats and even buffaloes are sacrifice to the goddess. The worship takes place twice a year. Once in spring and again in autumn. The autumn festivals are more common. Ram Chandra the eldest son of king Dasharath of Ayodhya performed this in autumn to defeat Ravan, the king of Lanka and rescued his wife Seeta. She had been stolen by Ravan. Thus it is a worship of Shakti, the goddess of power. This worship is performed with great pomp by rich occasion. Most of the family members are gathered in the eldest house on this occasion.
On the occasion of this great puja schools, colleges and all offices remain closed for 15 days or one month. The mind of Hindu’s is filled with joy on this occasion. The joy of the children knows no bounds. They put on cloths and shoes. Those who live abroad come home at this time. They meet their friends and relations at home. It is very happy time for all. Children pass the time merrily. On the last day of puja young ones go to the elders houses and receive Tika and blessings. This ceremony lasts for five or six days, up to purnima, the full moon day.
Thus the Dashain festival is a very happy festival for the Hindus. It has great social and economic importance.

City-Life

People living in cities and towns are said to have been spending city life. When people rushed into a village for the livelihood, and different offices are set up, they gradually turn into cities and towns. Town-life has many advantages. In a town, we can live comfortably if, of course, we have enough money. We can easily get all roots of things in a town. We can go easily from one part of the town to another. The roads are good. There is good arrangement of lighting homes, factories and streets. There are carriages, motor cars, buses etc. in a town. We have many good schools and colleges there. There are many doctors there. We can get there help when we need it, if we have money to spare. There are hospitals in a town. Poor and needy people can go to the hospitals for treatment. There are post and telegraph offices. We can know much about the world if we live in a town. We can read daily newspapers. If we are unable to purchase them, we can read them in a public library. In a town there is good arrangement of the police. Our lives and property are safer there. There are cinemas and theaters for our amusement. People get greater opportunities to earn money in the town.
However, it is very difficult to decide whether it is better to spend our lives in city or in village. The government is trying to facilitate the villages If it is so and some trace of facilities really reaches villages, people will probably find the villages the best place to live in.

Buddha Jayanti

Buddha jayanti commemorates three importance the Buddha’s life his birth, enlightment and nirvana. The Buddha was born as prince Siddhartha in Lumbini of southern Nepal on this full moon day over 2500 years ago. And it was on this same full moon day that he attained enlightenment in Bodhgaya and passed away into nirvana at Kusinagar of India. In the Katmandu valley, the festival is also known as Swanya Punhi or the full moon day of flowers. The main ceremonies take place around the massive stupa of Swayambhu. Situated a top a hillock to the west of the city center. From early in the west of the city center. From early in the morning, devotees can be seen through the shrine with musical bands. Offering of butter lamps, incense and rice are made to the many Buddha image there. Priests perform ancient ritual dances. Sacred paubha scroll paintings and Buddha images are put on display.
At Anandakuti Bihar, nearby a Buddha relic is brought out to receive homage from the devotees. Colorful processions are also held in the three cities of the valley. At Bouddnath, the Buddha Jayanti celebrations are equally captivating. An image of the Buddha is mounted in a decorated elephant and taken in procession around the big stupa. As night falls, the stupa and the balconies and homes are lighted up with thousands of candles and butter camps.

Adult Education

Adult education means grown-ups Adult education mean education given to adult who are not educated. Now –a-day’s school education is free and compulsory throughout the country. However, there are many adults mainly in the village and remote hills who are deprived of school education. To facilities these adults with light of education many government and non-government organization are set up. People working in these organization are employed to literate these illiterate adults. They are usually called or collected after their usual work and taught to read and write for an hour or two everyday. This activity has helped them to be aware of the exploitation that occurred due to illiteracy. This has also been helpful in learning scientific way of farming and has made them aware of citizen rights. In this way, it has been very important activity to those adults who were deprived of their early education

Himalayas

The Himalayas or "abode of snow" is in fact the youngest and highest mountain system in the world. It extends over 2,400kms as a vast south-facing area between the Indus and Brahmaputra rivers with Nanga Parbat (8,125m) and Namcha Barwa (7,755m) as its terminal high points. Fully a third of 800kms of its central section traverses Nepal and is known as the Nepal Himalayas, Here congregate more than 250 peaks that exceed 6,000m in height-a unique concentration of lofty dazzling summits. Of the thirty one Himalayan peaks over 7,600m, twenty-two like in Nepal Himalayas including eight of the world's fourteen highest giants. These are:
Sagarmatha(Mt. Everest) 8,848m
Kanchenjunga 8,586m
Lhotse : 8,516m
Makalu : 8,463m
Cho Oyu : 8,201m
Dhaulagiri : 8,167m
Manaslu: 8,163m
Annapurna : 8,091m
The Himalayan range within Nepal fits into a geographic pattern as the culmination of a series of parallel ranges. The main mountain region, represented by the eternal ranges, lies about 90kms north of the Mahabharat Lekh. The intervening space between the two parallel ranges is made up of the lower belt of the low hills (Pahar) and the higher belt of elevated ridges (Lekh) that provide the first intimation of the high snow continuous range but rather a chain of lofty ridges separated by deep gorges. Each of these mountain chains or Himals in turn sends out a maze of spurs studded with numerous peaks.
In the western and central Nepal, there is yet another mountain range that defines the boundary between Nepal and China. This border range has elevations ranging from 5,000 to 6,000m with comparatively less rugged relief but a harsh climate. Between the main Himalayan range and these border ranges lie some of the elevated Bhot Valleys.
Much of the high country above 5,000m is under the realm of snow and ice although the permanent snow line may vary according to aspect and gradient. Winter snowfall occurs up to an elevation of 2,000m and is much heavier in the western part. While winter is harsh and bitter, summer is the season of alpine flowers and is the time of the year when the high pastures teem with grazing animals from lower valleys. For the mountain communities, it is the time for harvesting their main crop before their winter migration to warmer climates.

Bibaha

Wedding customs in Nepal vary according to ethnic groups and castes. Especially country like Nepal, have different kinds of wedding ceremonies because we have varieties of cast and creeds. Weddings in the metropolitans have parades or car for the wedding processions; full fledged band instruments such as trumpets and trombones, ferry lights all over the house which is naturally more expenses. These weddings are completely different from the traditional remote village weddings. They are very simple for very rich in culture.
Wedding in Nepal is a multi day event, which may engross an entire village. In its essence, it reveals the very strong social and communal values of the Nepali people. Few things in Nepali culture take precedence over a wedding and most people treat the time as the opportunity of a lifetime and a time to hold back and celebrate with varieties of foods, fun and dancing.After the initial marriage arrangement takes place, the wedding begins with a gathering of the traveling party at the groom's house. Celebrations are made and rituals are performed with the local priest and the party then travels to the bride's village with the procession... This party particularly consists of males only. Once the procession reaches the bride's village, the groom's family gamble, drink while the priest performs the ceremony followed by a big feast.
One of the important events in our traditional wedding is that the groom puts a pinch of red-coloured powder on the bride's forehead. This symbolizes that they are now husband and wife. This red color on the woman's forehead differentiates whether she is married or not. The bride and groom by tradition are always carried either in a wooden casket or by horse (if financially feasible). The bride after being handed over to the groom by her parents will then travel to the groom's village to become a member of his family's household.
The ceremony is a very serious affair for the two young people. The bride is dressed in red, which is the color for marriage. Often, she sheds tear as the time to leave approaches. This may be a true feeling of apprehension of leaving the home and family or it may be just a traditional requisite.

Agriculture in Nepal

Nepal is a country of villages. It is also a land-locked country. Nepal has very less factories. The main occupation of the people is Agriculture. About 90% of the total population depends upon Agriculture can be minimized. Although Nepal is a small kingdom, the climate varies her from tropical hot climate of terai to freezing cold of Himalayas Different types of crops are grown in different variation of the climates. In the plain the land is fertile. The rainfall and other weather conditions are also suitable to grow crops. The main crops grown in the plain are rice, wheat, sugarcane, maize and pulses. Wheat is a winter crop. Jute is another important crop in the plains. There are many factors which have affected our agriculture and the farmers. The most of the farmers are uneducated and therefore they don’t change their primitive method of farming. They don’t use scientific method of farming. Besides, the government is not able to train these farmers for scientific and intensive ways of farming. Although, Nepal is rich in water resources and many places have to depend on monsoon for irrigation. The irrigation facility is still not very wide. Chemical fertilizers are scarce and very costly. People can not afford to buy these chemical fertilizers. There is no good market for their products. Due to the problem of transportation they have to sell their agricultural products in cheap prices. If we are able to train farmers give them good irrigation facility and market and all necessary things we will certainly raise our agriculture.

The problem of Unemployment in Society

The problem of unemployment is a serious problem in our society. If millions of people are without any jobs its effect is very bad. A man without an employment is a burden to others. If he has got to maintain a family, the situation is worse. Such unemployed people are reduced to poverty. It demoralizes them and they forced to do undesirables works and spread discontent. In fact, they are a source of danger to society and the state.
The causes of unemployment are mainly due to the rapid growth of population. The prevailing system of education and under development of industry and trade has also added to this problem. It is very difficult to get jobs for all who are in need of it.
Cottage industries in the villages have been ruined owing to the establishment of large mills and factories in towns. Consequently, many artisans have been thrown out of the employment. There has been great pressure on agriculture land because of the growth of population. All these are mainly responsible for this acute problem of unemployment. Thus there must be opportunity for all to get technical education. More mills and factories must be set up in towns and cottage industries in the villages. If this can be done the problem can be solved without much delay.

Child labour in our society

The problems of child labour in the developing countries like Nepal, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Shreelanka have become a burning question of today. In India alone there are over 100 million children employed in different work. However, Nepal also has no any exception to this problem. Over half a million children are also being employed in Nepal.
It is an issue of subsistence that forces the children to take up menial jobs and give up their studies at an early stage of life. The parents of the poor children find it hard to continue their education and send their children to earn something and assist the family by all means. The parents of the child labourers face great difficulties to bring up their children and as a result, send their children to earn their livelihood. These children really unfortunately as they are forced to take up jobs for food. The children while doing the jobs send money to their parents. In tea stalls, sweet shops, in transportation such as porters and handy boy in tempos, they are mainly engaged. Many of the times, still very commonly they are employed in rich man’s houses as servants. A great number of them are engaged in carpet making trade, tending of cows etc.
The inhuman trade can not be stopped unless a several law is passed. Compulsory primary Education would be of much use in this regard. However, the poor parents will not prefer to send their children to school in fear of loss of income. Children are also engaged in small trade like shoe polishing. The problem of child labours can not be up rooted unless their parents are conscious and aware of their children. In fact these child labours die at an early stage as they do not get enough food and medicine for their survival. The child labour being very cheap they are employed the greedy traders.

Education for all in Nepal

In Nepal, prior to 1951, education was the privilege if aristocratic and a few well to do families. Access to education was confined to the cities and the district headquarters. In 1951the number of primary schools was 321 and there was no organized system of adult education. Hence, the service of basic and primary education was limited to a smaller section of the population, not for all. After the dawn of democracy in 1951 people became aware of education. Consequently, the number of primary schools grew rapidly and in 1961 this number reached 4001. The growth of primary schools in 10 years i.e. from 1854 to 1951 is exceedingly greater than in 97 years Rana regime i.e. from 1854 to 1951. Besides, concerted efforts were also made to initiate and expand adult education programme within and outside the Kathmandu valley as recommended by National Education Planning Commission, 1955. Similarly, the number of primary schools reached 7256 prior to the implementation of National Education System plan1971-1976 (NESP) i.e. in 1970 and it was 19498 in 1992. It shows that from the beginning of NESP in 1971 to the end of primary schools increased by 2.5 times. Likewise, different non-formal education programmes were also being conducted under Non-formal education Center in an organized and systematic way in all the districts of the country. All these efforts facilitated to make basic and primary education accessible to all. However, all the poor and disadvantaged people did not have access to even basic and primary education.
A lot efforts are being carried out nationally, regionally and internationally to provide basic and primary education services to all including marginalized/special focus group such as dalits, girls, ethnic and linguistic minorities, children with disabilities, working children, street children, children affected by conflict and children in remote and/or poor habitation. Generally, the efforts made regionally and internationally gave impetus to the developing nations to make commitments for providing education for all and materialize them. This article, basically, tries to touch upon the international, regional and national context related to Education for All.
