Radio Nepal


Radio nepal , from this word we think it as a government radio. We have heard this name since our childhood to till now. We could say that it is the first radio established in our country. It was established in 1 april 1951. The first FM-Channel covering Kathmandu valley and adjoining areas was started in 1995 from its premises at Singh Durbar, Kathmandu. Radio Nepal recognizes that its primary obligation is to serve its listeners. It has been providing various programs aimed at creating mass awareness in its attempt to reflect the views of all sections of the society.It has different programmes that is run in the radio nepal. They are regional, national, educational, entertainment and information.Radio Nepal launched the first FM Channel in Nepal on he 30th of Kartik 2052 B.S.(16th Nov.1995). The FM Channel airs programmes on 100 MHz on the FM band through a 1 KW stereo transmitter installed at Khumaltar, Lalitpur. A fairly well equipped studio with stereo facilities has been established at Singh Durbar. This studio along with the provision of a standby studio has made it possible to broadcast programmes live. Radio Nepal has a policy of leasing out its air time to private parties to broadcast programmes on its FM channel by permitting private operators to use their own staff. These programmes have proved to be very popular among the urban youth of Kathmandu.
Radio Nepal has its own studios for programme production, music recording, drama recording, talks shows and news broadcasts. A music library at its premises in Singh Durbar has a collection of about 40,000 songs. Foreign broadcasting Stations also make use of our Studio facilities and transmitters for live and other broadcasts on a rental basis.
The Broadcasting Headquarters at Singha Durbar in Kathmandu has two broadcasting houses consisting of one drama studio, two music studios, one reporting studio, three continuity studios, one news studio and seven programme production studios. One of the music studios is equipped with a 24 track recording facility. This studio is open for hiring purposes for anyone desirous of recording music digitally whether solo track or for albums after payment of studio charges which are very relatively reasonable compared to other private studios.
The complex also has one open air live theatre facility for functions and musical performances.
In an attempt to reach interested listeners world wide, Radio Nepal has entered the Internet since April 1997.From its modest beginning, Radio Nepal has expanded considerably over the years. With over 600 staff members in different divisions and the acquisition of equipment in tune with the technological innovations, Radio Nepal aims to emerge as the media for the millions in Nepal as well as across national frontiers.
There are plans for fill in stations at different parts of uncovered areas and the operation of a second channel in the existing premises to cope with the increasing demand for more air time from different INGOs and NGOs.
Few small FM stations to be operated with the partnership of local agencies like the Municipalities and District Development Committees are being established in the remote districts.
Radio Nepal faces the challenges of moving with the changing times in the light of the new innovations in broadcast technology. Most of its outdated transmission equipment needs to be replaced or refurbished. In program production, the digitization process has already been started, but a lot needs to be done. With the good wishes of all its listeners Radio Nepal aims to offer quality and distinctiveness in addition to its responsibility to inform, educate and entertain.

Madan puraskar pustakalaya

The Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya is the principal archive of books and periodicals in the nepali language. The Library is a not-for profit, non-governmental institution that is run by a trust whose members are eminent men and women of letters of Nepal. In addition to the archival collection which is at the center of its focus, the Library is well known for its continuing work in the areas of publishing, education and training. It also manages two of Nepal's most prestigious literary prizes, the Madan Puraskar and the Jagadamba Shree. With beginnings as a private collection in the mid-1940s, the Library has expanded continuously over the decades, keeping pace with the development of the Nepali language in the modernizing nation state of Nepal, and in the hills of North India.
The first acquisitions for what was later to become the Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya were made in the mid-1940s by a Kathmandu schoolboy, with pennies that came from his lunch allowance. As the personal collection grew, it attracted gifts in kind from several important literary personalities, statesmen and scholars of Nepal and India.
In 1956, the collection received an endowment from Rani Jagadamba Kumari Devi Rana. Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya was officially registered in 1985, under Organizations Registration Act of 1977. The present chairman of the library is kamal mani dixit. It is situated at the patan dhoka, lalitpur. It has preserve the oldest daily newspaper awaz and its 1st edition . We should be very thankful to see their effort to preserve those.

मधेस आन्दोलनमा प्रेस


माघ १ गते अन्तरिम संविधानको घोषणपछि सुरु भएको मधेस आन्दोलनका क्रममा माघ २४ गतेसम्म पूर्वी र मध्य तराईका जिल्लामा मात्र १९ जना पत्रकारमाथि आक्रमण भयो । पत्रकार महासंघका पाँच कार्यालय र साचार संस्थाहरुमा तोडफोड भयो २३ जना पत्रकारले गम्भीर खालका धम्की र दुव्र्यवहारको सामना गर्नुपर् यो १९ पत्रकारलाई कार्यस्थल छाड्न बाध्य बनाइयो ५३ वटा प्रकाशन बन्द गरिए र साचार संस्थाका १२ वटा सवारी साधन तोडफोड गरिएको । माओवादी जनयुद्धका क्रममा र वि।सं २०६२ साल माघ १९ गते राजा ज्ञानेन्द्रले सक्ता हत्याएपछि नेपाली प्रेसले चरम उत्पीडन सहनुपरेको थियो । त्यो राजनितिक कारणले भएको थियो । राजनितिक कारणले मिडियालाई निसाना बनाइएका उदाहरण धेरै पाइन्छन् तर अधिकारवादी आन्दोलनका क्रममा भएको आक्रमणले प्रेस स्वतन्त्रता र उत्तरदायित्वबीचको अन्तर सम्बन्धमा गहिरो बहसको थालनी गनुपर्ने आवश्यकतालाई औंल्याएको छ । पे्रसमाथिको यो ज्यादतीलाई कुनै हालतमा पनि जायज मान्न सकिन्न र प्रेस स्वन्त्रताको पश्रमा लड्ने जुनसुकै संस्था र व्यत्तिका लागि सह्य हुन सक्दैन । तर यसको विरोध भत्स्रना र प्रतिरोधका धम्कीले मात्र समाधान निकाल्न सकिन्न भन्ने कुरा पनि यस क्रममा नेपाली प्रेस र प्रेस स्वतन्त्रताका पक्षधरलाई सिकाएको पाठ हो । मधेस आनदोलन नेपाली प्रेसका लागि एउटा क्रास बन्यो पत्रकारहरुका लागि ज्यादै स्वदेनशील जोखिमपूर्ण रहन पुग्यो । आन्दोलनले उचाइ लिदै जाँदा प्रेसमाथिको आक्रमण झनै तीव्र भयो । तर यो प्रतिकि्रया मधेस आनदोलनमा मात्र होइन आदिवासी जनजाति दलित तथा अन्य उपेक्षित अधिकारवादी आन्दोलनका गुनासोसँग पनि जोडेर हेनुपर्ने हुन्छ ।

लाहानमा प्रेससको स्थिित
मधेस
आन्दोलनको उद्गमस्थल हो पहिचानको आन्दोलनको यो उद्गमस्थलमा प्रेस विरुद्ध पनि थारै ज्यादती भएनन् पत्रकारले कुटाइ खाए कार्यक्षेत्रबाट लखेटिए यसरी लाहानको प्रेस असुरक्षित हँुदै गयो दिनहुँको बन्द हड्तालका कारण पत्रिका बन्द गनुपर्ने वाध्यता आइपर्यो आन्दोलनरत् समूहका धम्कीका कारण उनीहरुले चाहेअनुसारका समाचार दिनुपर्ने बाध्यता थियो पत्रिकारले आन्दोलनका पक्षमा समाचार नलेखे जे पनि हुनसक्छ भन्ने धम्की दिइन्थ्यो । पत्रिकालाई मात्र होइन पत्रिका छाप्ने प्रेसमा गएर समेत उनीहरुले आन्दोलन विरोधी पत्रिका नछाप्न दबाब दिइरहे । एकातिर बन्द र हड्ताल अर्कोतिर आन्दोलनकारीको दबाबका कारण दोहोरो मारमा परे नेपनलका संचारकर्मीहरु । आन्दोलनकारीको दबाबकै कारण लाहानबाट प्रकाशित पत्रिकाहरु निस्कन सकेन्न र कति त बन्द नै हुनपुगे ।

मधेस आन्दोलनको प्रारम्भ र विकास

माघ २०६२ मा जारी हुने अन्तरिक सविधानले मधेसी समुदायका भावना समेट्न नसक्ने दावी गर्दे मधेसी जनअधिकार फोरमले १४ पुसमै २माघको लागि नेपाल बन्द कार्यक्रमको आयोजना गरिसकेको थियो ।१माघमा अनतरिम सविधान जारी हुनासाथ राजधानीको माइतीघर मण्डलामा भेला भएका फोरमका कार्यकर्ताले संविधानको प्रति जलाएपिछअध्यक्ष उपेन्द्र यादवसहित २८ पक्राउ परे । बस यहि थियो मधेस आन्दोलनले उचाइ हासिल गर्नुको पछिल्लो कारण ।
फोरमको नेपाल बन्द जारी रहेकै बेला ५माघ दिउँसो दुई बजे माओवादी नेता रामकार्कीसहितका कार्यकर्ता चितवनमा आयोजना गरिएकोपार्टीको कार्यकर्ता भेलामा भाग लिन उदयपुरबाट आइरहेका थिए ।त्यतिबेला लाहान बजार फोरमका कार्यकर्ताको नियन्त्रणमा थियो । उनीहरुले टायर बालेर बजार बन्द गराएका थिए । माओवादी नेता कार्कीको टोलीले पार्टीको कार्यक्रममा जसरी पनि भाग लिन जाने भनेपछि बन्द आयोजनकर्ता र माओवादीबीच भनाभन भयो । भनाभन भइरहेको बेला माओवादी कार्यकर्ता चढेको गाडीबाट गोली प्रहार गरिएको थियो ।त्यसपछि लाहान बजारमा कोलाहाल मच्चियो । माओवादीको गोलीबाट स्थानीय मनकामना बोडिड स्कूलमा ९कक्षमा पढ्ने छात्र रमेश महतोकोमृत्यु भयो ।
घटनालगतै ७माघदेखि लाहान बजारमा सरकारी कार्यलयका खासगरि पहाडीमूलका कर्मचारीहरु संशकित हुनथाले । आन्तरिक राजस्व नगरपालिका यातायात व्यवस्था र घरेलु तथा साना उद्योग कार्यलयका कर्मचारीहरु उदयपुरको सदरमुकाम गाईघाट पुगे । आफूहरु लाहानमा बस्न असुरीक्षत भएको गुनासो पत्रकारहरुले सुनाए । उदयपुरका पत्रकारहरुले त्यसलाई समाचार बनाए ।त्यसदिन र भालिपल्ट त्यो समाचार प्रकाशित र प्रसारित गरियो । लाहानका कर्मचारीको भनाइका आधारमा उदयपुरबाट त्यो समाचार प्रवाह गरिएको भए पनि लाहानवासीले आफूहरुले कुनै कर्मचारीलाई त्यस्तो व्यवहार नगरेको भनेर लाहानका पत्रकारमाथि त्यसको आक्रोस पोखे ।त्यो समाचारको विरोधमा मधेसी समुदायका केही मानिसले लाहानका चारवटा सरकारी कार्यलयमा आगो लगाए । यसरी स्थितीले उग्ररुप धारण गरेको पाइन्छ ।

Parents.



Mother and father, two important persons on the life of a child. When we ask the child which one is your favourite, mom or dad? Then many child say it's mom but the true thing is that both of them possess the same value in the life of the child. Love cannot be measured and it teaches you the moral of the life. How to be loved and to give love to others? And these two persons teach you about love. We cannot distinguish between both of them and also compare between them. When it comes to motherhood and fatherhood then we can say that both of them have their different responsibility towards their child.
Father the one man who is the sole responsible person to look after the whole needs of the family. It's not that the mother does not do that. But to look after the family is their responsibility. When a baby is born both the parents feel happy that their baby has come in their life to lighten up. The baby face makes both of them full of emotion. Words cannot express those feelings yet but the fact is that both of them are happy to have their baby in their life.
It's true that mother is responsible for the bringing of the children. She teaches you the good manner and takes care of everything you need. Teaches you to well behave in the society and with the elders. But there is the equal responsibility of the father, he teaches you to value of life and the importance of the success. He teaches you to look forward for the goal of the life. From the early childhood your father teaches the different aspects of the life. My dad is also an inspiring dad he inspire me in different thing. My mom taught me the different things like manner. My mom used to worry about small things about me. My dad used to teach me how to struggle to achieve the desired goal which I have set for me.
So never thing that one person is responsible for bringing you up. Both of them are equally responsible. You will realise it when you see it through your parent's perspective.
