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.
