BAGLUNG, April 11: Illegal quarrying of stones in Tara VDC of Baglung continues unabated regardless of the threat it poses to nearby human settlements and environment.

Around 24 stone quarries are being run illegally in Tara VDC, but the authorities have turned a blind eye, said Hari Subedi, a local. 
“The operators of these quarries are ignoring the long-term impact that their activity would have on the environment and nearby human settlements,” said Subedi. The operators had agreed to contribute a part of their earnings to local schools, but the promise was never kept, said another local Krishna Kandel.
“Both Kasare Kharani School and Trisul Primary School have not received any financial support,” said Kandel. He also said that the operators have been avoiding legal action as they have high-level contacts.
“Quarry operators are supposed to acquire permission from the Department of Mines and Geology and District Development Committee. But most of them have not acquired permission,” claimed Kandel. 
Meanwhile, District Forest Officer Kishore Chandra Gautam said he was unaware of the illegal quarries. “We will look into the matter and take action against operators running illegal quarries,” assured Gautam.

World eggs day observed in Baglung

BAGLUNG: The 18th World Eggs Day was observed in Baglung with various programmes with an objective of creating awareness among people on the importance of eggs.

This was observed for the first time in Nepal and from Baglung to increase awareness on the importance of eggs, said District Livestock Office Baglung's veterinary doctor Dr. Deepa Diwali.

The day celebrated on the second Friday of October each year was celebrated by the District Livestock Office and Suahara Project jointly in Baglung.

Radio talk programmes, banner show and classes on the importance of eggs in two schools in the district headquarters were organised. 

Diwali said this day was not celebrated anywhere in Nepal earlier. Eggs have all the elements needed for the body, said convener of the Suahara Project, Purna Puri. 

Eggs have five kinds of vitamins, colin, iodine, iron, selenium, and protein and can save from heart disease and help in body development of child in pregnancy and increase immunity power, said Diwali. It was celebrated in the world since 1996. This day was celebrated since the Egg Commission Conference held in Vienna of Austria.

In Vitro fertilization for animal popular in Baglung

BAGLUNG, Nov 20: With the development of the science and technology, farmers are increasingly adopting scientific methods for the animal reproduction. 

Farmers, who used to keep bulls or male buffalos for the breeding purpose, have now started using In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) for reproduction of their cattles.

According to District Veterinary Office (DVO), the new technology of animal reproduction has also increased the productivity in the cattle lately. 

Krishna Prasad Poudel of Baglung Municipalaity-11, who has been keeping over 3 dozen buffalos and cows, has been using IVF technology to inseminate his cattle. Similarly Padam Prasad Sapkota of ward no-1 has stopped keeping breeder male buffalo for the reproduction purpose. 

“When female buffaloes are in heat, veterinary doctors inseminate them with the new technology of the artificial insemination at the animal pen itself,” said Sapkota. 
Lately IVF technology became popular among the farmers after DVO started providing the service at a very low price. 
According to the DVO, farmers are attracted toward the new reproductive technologies as they are free from the hassles of rearing bull or male buffalo for the breeding purpose. 
“The farmers adopting new reproductive technology for their animal has increased lately as the new animal produced through IVF has greater productive ability,” said Veterinary Doctor Dipa Diwali. 
Farmers have been paying Rs 500-800 for the breeding male animal as a stud fee, however, the DVO has been providing IVF service at only Rs 25. “The new service is also cost effective for the farmers,” said Diwali. 
According to Diwali, the female animals in heat should be inseminated within 12-18 hours to successfully impregnate them. The collected animal sperm is cryopreserved at -196°C by using liquid nitrogen. In the IVF technology, sperm are injected into the ovary of the animal with the help of syringe. 
Government has planned to extend the IVF by providing subsidiary for the rural area across the country as the technology is helping increase productivity and improve the quality of the new breed. 

The veterinary center in Baglung Bazzar, Narayansthan, Binhu, Kushmishera and Harichaur VDC has been providing IVF service to the farmers of 15 nearby VDCs. According to DVO chief Laxman Prasad Ghimire, they are planning to extend the service to Burtibang, Kharbang and other places as the demands from the farmers are rising. 

DVO, which inseminated 541 cattle successfully through IVF technique last year, is planning to provide the service to over 2,000 cattle this year. “It is really easy for us as we don´t have to search for the stud male," said Tara Kandel of Bhim Pokhara-1.

Financial Analysis of Water Source Protection Work of Watershed Management

Abstract:
Water supply is critical in many areas of the Middle Mountains in Nepal. The major hardships in terms of the drinking water is being experiencing in the altitude at the winter season and in the rainy season effects the down stream due to the excess water. The water supply work is good in such situation its economic gain is of secondary importance while the first importance is to provide the safe services and care the people from difficulties. So that, activities implemented in the rural areas can be evaluated economically or financially to the measure the financial efficiency in terms of services. For the described situation, the research paper tries to evaluate the water source protection activity financially. This report basically reflects the different streams of costs and benefits for the targeted activity to review the financial benefits from the activity.
The study is based on primary and secondary data analysis. Primary data were collected from the field (Five Community Development Groups, Kanthekhola sub watershed management area of Baglung District). Methods were Participatory Rural Appraisal (Focus group discussion, semi structured interview, household visit and the direct observation of the construction works with CDG members. Secondary information were collected from different official reports, DSCO Baglung, District development committee Baglung, Baglung municipality and the five-year plan of the CDGs.
Financial analysis has carried out for the direct input and output of construction and benefit received from the water source protection work and agricultural practices (Home garden, Kitchen garden, Vegetable farming etc), for the calculation of Benefit Cost Ratio, Internal rate of Return and Net Present Value. Indirect input and return analyzed to check the service and the farmland benefits from the intervention. Basic statistical tools were used to analyze the socioeconomics and the evaluation of the best project. Strength, weaknesses, Opportunities and Limitations (SWOL) analysis is carried out in the field and documented.
On the basis of analysis it has shown that Water source Protection work has a huge advantage of health improvement and income generation. Viable option to maximize financial return is the replacement of conventional agriculture practice with the income generation activities like vegetable farming. The programme is equally beneficial to reduce the workload of people to the water collection for the domestic purposes. It is also worthwhile to conserve the soil and support to the environmental improvement by reducing the downstream defects in favour of the people's welfare. The profit is very attractive; investment on fruit tree plantation, kitchen gardening, and compost pit preparation started, income generation expected, the benefits are manifold as compared to the conventional agriculture.
Considerations for the improvement of the works might be welfare policies and special programs favourable to the people, awareness about the soil erosion and conservation, education of the positive effects of the downstream due to the intervention, explore the regional market for the vegetables, and design the integrated watershed management activities.

Civic Education for Consolidating Relationships between People and Local Self Governance

In the absence of civic education, youths across the nation are shying away from politics. Especially college goers in urban and semi-urban areas seem to have misunderstood politics. They take politics as a dirty game. There has been a growing trend among youths to be indifferent from politics and social activities. If this trend continues, sociologists fear that there will be an abyss in the country's politics. The abyss or the gap can debilitate democracy to a large extent.
Even though leaders of country's major political parties seem to be least bothered about democracy and the country's sovereignty; social activists, scholars and workers of different political parties here are deeply concerned about the national issues, democratic values and development. Setting aside their ideological differences, the local people here echoed their voice for development and democracy.
While presenting a working paper on "Civic Education for Consolidating Relationships between People and Local Self Governance" organised by the Nepal Foundation for Advanced Studies (NEFAS) recently, Shiv Raj Dahal underlined the need for generating massive awareness among youths.
Youths are the torch-bearers of the nation, if they become indifferent from politics; the mainstream politics fails to move towards right direction, he said.
When politics takes a wrong course, the chances of failure of democracy are higher. To be more precise, there is likelihood of dominance of regressive forces (wrong-hands) in politics which to a large extent can jeopardize democracy. And when democracy becomes weak, good governance cannot be expected, said Dahal while giving a brief outline of his working paper.
"This is high time for each and every citizen - especially youths across the nation to be aware of political development taking place in the country. If youths turn a deaf ear to the politics, that will be a disaster, he said.
Youth's participation in social activities would have a domino-impact in the social transformation. Hence, youths should be involved in different facets of society, he added.
Growing trend of going abroad for seeking employment and permanent residency (PR) shall make the national politics hollow. Hence, civic education is a must for social transformation and development.
However, youths should be provided with an ample opportunity for their economic uplift. Politics is based on economics. He said
Following Shiva Raj Dahal's presentation, Prof. Dr. Gunanidhi Sharma spoke about the economic aspect of civic education. He said more and more youths irrespective of their ideologies should be involved in productive and meaningful activities in the society. Economy of the nation is based on three components namely - state, private sector and cooperative.
If economics fails to support politics, there will be a dearth of participation, democracy, human dignity; he said adding that the country's politics has become more capital-(Kathmandu)-centric. Politics, guide economic activities and economic activities are the fundamental to the politics.
Presenting a gloomy picture of economic indicators, he said that per capita income in Nepal has just reached US$500, while neighboring countries like India and China have US$ 3500 and US$ 7500 respectively.
This tardy growth shows that we are failing in development process. Who is responsible for the failure as of now? They are the political actors who should be held responsible for tardy economic growth. If politics fails to take right course, country's economy cannot move a head, he said.
Our economy is based on remittance, but we have not calculated the cost side, he said.
Prof. Sharma, former vice chairman of the National Planning Commission said that the data system. Our data system is not reliable.
The poverty has come down to 25 per cent from a 32 per cent, but the reality is not different. Poor has become poorer and rich has richer. The gap has further widened in the recent years, he said.
Problem in economic governance has to be resolved to attract youths, he said.
It is the responsibility of the state to attract youths for social development. If we fail to address the problem in the economic governance, I doubt the country shall plunge into an abyss of violence and lawlessness, he said.
If the state fails to provide opportunities to the youths, obviously they tend to shy away. It is the responsibility of the state to create opportunities for the people in the society. Political actors, government should act honestly.
Prof. Sharma also spoke about the impact of Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (BIPPA) between Nepal and India. Sharma, the former vice chairman of the NPC strongly claimed that BIPPA will have more serious impact in the country's economy. The BIPPA has reinforced the 1950 Treaty between Nepal and India which is in the interests of India.
Prof. Dr. Ram Kumar Dahal, while talking about the need for political awareness said that youths should not be kept aside of politics. They should be a part of politics and social activities.
Prof. Dahal stressed the need for generating awareness among youths. They should be informed that politics is not a dirty game. They should be encouraged to do politics for the right cause. Young generation presume politics as a dirty game played idiots. This is totally a wrong concept. They should be given a message that politics is not a dirty game, but it should be guided by the right persons who are honest and integrity towards society, he said.
Prof. Dahal claimed that the civil society in our context is guided by political parties. If this trend continues, the problem will arise in making the parties alert and ultimately the political parties cannot take a right course. Leaders of political parties should go along with the people. They should embrace the feelings of people in true sense. Prof. Dahal further said that political leaders should act in such a way that they should be able to solve their problems at state level.
But it is a great irony that our leaders who get elected by the votes of these people completely ignore them. This is the main reason as why youths are shying away from politics. However, we cannot remain tightlipped. Someone has to initiate the process of educating youngsters. Hence, we should play a proactive role to bring youths into the mainstream of politics, he added.
Chandra Dev Bhatta, programme officer of Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) highlighting objectives of the programme spoke about the prime objectives of the FES. He explained how first President of Germany Friedrich Ebert initiated the process of institutionalising social dialogue for the uplift the society. Without civic education, people cannot realize the essence of democracy. Civic education teaches people to be responsible and dutiful. Civic education teaches citizens to be good citizen.
Political dialogue, social dialogues among youths should be encouraged for social justice. If youths shy away who is going to take part in the politics for social change?
Bhatta, an expert in political economy, noted that politics has been distorted. Instead of becoming for the people, politicians have created distance from the people. By the people means it has been 'buy' the people and for of the people it has become 'off the people', he said.
Bhatta said that youths should be aware of all types of anomalies taking place in the society. Whatever the political ideologies they have, they should not lag behind for common cause.
Earlier Prof. Ananda Shretha, Chairman of the NEFAS highlighted the objectives of the NEFAS's campaign on civic education. No society can make progress without civic education, hence NEFAS, with the support of FES has been organising civic education programme across the nation. We expect that this type of civic education programme would be helpful in generating awareness among youths.
Besides, our programme would help accumulate opinions across the nation. This ultimately, helps us to put pressure on policy makers at the national level.
Urging participants to float their opinions, he said "Your opinion bears a lot of sense to formulate policy". We are organising this programme to collect your views; this in totality helps policy makers as what policy should be formulated.
From the chair, Mana Bahadur Khattri, lecturer of Dhaulagiri Multiple College (DMC) expressed view that such interaction programme would largely help to build opinion and galvanize relations between youths in the society.
Such programme would generate awareness among the youths. Hence, such civic education programme should be encouraged for youths.
Floor Discussion 
Hrishi Ram Sharma, a local intellectual and political activist said that political parties and their leaders should be cautioned with regard to development and democracy.
Today's youths need proper guideline for that they are in dire need of civic education. At a time when the values of civic education are dying down, such programme organised by the NEFAS would greatly contribute to generate awareness among youths.
Each year, an awful lot of youths are going abroad, if we fail to educate youths about the value of democracy, country's future will be in jeopardy.
Hence, we should make youths more aware about their rights and the values. If the current trend of going abroad continues, democracy cannot take a right course. The youths who are torch-bearers in the society cannot give anything to the society; Sharma said adding that "Dahal's working paper should be more specific about the role of youths' in capitalist model and socialist society.
Tek Bahadur K.C, district secretary of the UCPN- Maoists, said that local youths were very much aware of their rights. He cautioned not to misinterpret youths' role in national building process and social changes.
K.C said that left parties across the nation need real education in true sense. However, he raised an objection that the decision making process in the left parties is not governed by the centre alone. The left parties often make decision on the basis of opinion at the grassroots level.


Kazi Gaunle, a local social activist said that different people have different understanding. People in other countries have their own model of democracy. In the same way, we should have own model. Hence the paper should clarify as how youths could be mobilised for common cause in the society.
Prakash Poudel, Chairman of District Committee Nepali Congress said that the election should not be based on the caste, religion. This creates a sharp division among youths. Developmental activities should take place on the basis of reciprocity, he said.
This type of interaction on civic education would largely help in uniting youths in the society for development.
Bal Bahadur Lamichhane, Chairman of District Red Cross Baglung expressed grudges over the politicians and political parties. None of the political leaders are bothered about the deteriorating situation of law and order. The entire nation is on the verge of disintegration as the political parties and their leaders are squabbling over the political power. The true nationalism should be defined.
Mana Kumari K.C, a school teacher underlined the need to make common efforts to overcome social anomalies. The atmosphere of trust should be built among youths, she said.
Responding the queries of participants, Shiva Raj Dahal, the resource person of the workshop vowed to incorporate all sorts of opinions at the interaction programme.
Nepal is rich in resources. What we need is organisation capacity. To strengthen organisation capacity, civic consciousness must improve. Leaders should have skill, honesty and capacity.
Hence, everybody in the society should have an adequate sense of shouldering responsibility with a greater degree of honesty.
Prof. Dr. Gunanidhi Sharma, while responding the queries about the impact the BIPPA said that it was more regressive than that of the Mahakali Treaty. It would have greater impact in the country's trade and economy.
Prof. Ram Kumar Dahal, further said that political awareness among youths should be encouraged for that social dialogue is a must.
Finally Chairman of the programme Mana Bahadur Khatri, also underlined the need for social dialogue. Such programme would act a catalyst to bring the youths into a common forum.

Hunting Reserve in Nepal

Nepal is a beautiful country inhabiting an amazing array of Wildlife Reserves and National Parks hidden amongst the many majestic mountains of the Himalayan range. It is here that you will also find the only hunting reserve set aside by the Government of Nepal.
Unlike many countries that support “canned hunting” (defined as: The sport or practice of killing animals that have been bred in captivity for the sole purpose of trophy hunting by international tourists), the Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve has set aside a dedicated area where only certain “wild” species are allowed to be “culled”, thus controlling the general population in the area. It is only in particular seasons that controlled hunting occurs through the year, thus requiring a game license. This can be obtained through the ‘Department of National Parks and Wildlife Conservation’ within the Kathmandu area. However, it must be remembered that there is a limited amount of hunting operations who are able to cater for such expeditions and so it is good to look into this beforehand.
Nonetheless, Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve is also a sanctuary to some of the rarest and most endangered mammals, such as the beautiful snow leopard, Tibetan wolf, red panda and the elegant Himalayan musk deer. Alongside this is an amazing array of rare bird species. In fact, Nepal holds some of the significant populations in the entire world, showcasing its natural riches.
The Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve is set on 1,325 square kilometers of rolling terrain, lying on the Southern rise of the majestic Mt. Dhaulangiri I, which stands over 8,000 meters in height, cutting into the Rukum, Myagdi and Baglung districts in the west of Nepal. As with most reserves it is not uncommon to find villagers co-inhabiting. In this particular area it is made up by two distinct groups that being people of Tibetan descent and hill tribes who supplement farming with animal and trade husbandry.
The reserve is characterized by a fusion of mixed hardwood forests which include fir, birch, rhododendron, hemlock, pine, juniper and spruce as well as one of the highest widespread populations of flora up to 36 species once again emphasizing Nepal’s natural riches.
Besides hunting, Dhorpatan Hunting Reserve is a striking destination for wildlife and bird enthusiasts alike who wish to visit this isolated area.
