The proposed South Asia Sub Regional Economic Cooperation (SASEC) Road Improvement Program (SRIP) is undertaking two strategic high priority roads in the Province 4 of Nepal: i) Narayanghat – Butwal Highway, and ii) Bhairahawa-Lumbini-Taulihawa Feeder Road. The project roads are: (i) Narayanghat-Butwal (115 km - 4 lane highway) Road, and (ii) Bhairahawa-Lumbini-Taulihawa Road (41.130km). The Department of Roads (DOR) intends to improve Narayanghat-Butwal Road to all-weather asphalt concrete four-lane Asian Highway Standard. The 41.130 km Bhairahawa-Lumbini-Taulihawa road has 3 sections: Section 1: 3.68 km, km 0+00 to km 3+680 (Bhairahawa-Airport); Section 2: 14.42 km, 3+680 to Km18.100 (Bhairahawa Airport -Lumbini); and Section 3: km 18+100 to 41+130 (Lumbini - Taulihawa). Section 1 will be improved from the current 2 lanes to an all- weather bituminous 4 lanes with both sides’ service roads while section 2 will be improved from the current 2 lanes to an all-weather bituminous 4 lanes while Section 3 will be improved from 1 lane to 2 lanes feeder road standards. 2. The Project has been categorized as “A” consistent with the requirements of ADB SPS 2009 since one of the project components, the East West Highway Narayanghat - Butwal Section borders the buffer zone of Chitwan National park covering over 23KM. The Bhairahawa - Lumbini - Taulihawa roads upgrading activities are unlikely to have significant adverse environmental impacts. Impacts largely are short-term, reversible and manageable through appropriate mitigation measures and categorized as “B”. 3. The Design Consultants completed the IEE in BLT Road and EIA in NB Road in 2016. After being mobilized, the Civil Contractor in the BLT Road, the Civil Contractor with the CSC completed the joint verification survey. The joint survey found 2078 trees against 1890 trees reported in IEE required to be cut. Approval for clearance is taken from Forest Offices for cutting of the trees. By the end of this reporting date, a total 2055 numbers of trees have been cut-down and 1800 roots removed. For the loss of 2078 in BLT road, compensatory plantation (CP) of 51,950 trees has to be done at the ratio of 1:25 as per Forest Act, Regulation and Procedure of Compensatory Tree Plantation by National Project. 4. Civil Contractor is regularly reporting to the CSC Environment Specialist, along with regularly submitting environmental checklist to CSC Environment specialist. 5. The NB Road possesses 55 community forests (CFs). The mobilization of the Civil Contractor is awaited to undertake the joint verification survey in the NB Road. 6. DCC (DDC in the past) has approved to collect materials for quarry sites from Tinau

  • Lumbini Girls' School, Nepal
    Lumbini Girls’ School, Nepal Reporting period: May 1, 2017 – September 30, 2017 Prepared by: Gaurav Pradhan and Deanna Boulard Organization: Real Medicine Foundation Nepal (www.realmedicinefoundation.org) Project title: Lumbini Girls’ School Project location: Lumbini Sanskritik, Rupandehi District, Lumbini Zone, Nepal Students walking past bricks for the new school building May–September 2017 Real Medicine Foundation 11700 National Blvd., Suite 234 Los Angeles, CA 90064 +1.310.820.4502 1 Background Lumbini is 205 km west of the capital city, Kathmandu, and has the lowest female literacy rate in Nepal, at just 18%. Issues such as the marriage of girls before age 12, parents’ reluctance to have their girls in school with boys after puberty, the dowry system, and restriction of women’s decision-making all play a role in suppressing the rights and potential of women in the region. On a larger scale, discrimination and lack of education for women contribute to Lumbini’s struggle with severe malnutrition, lack of medical care, and high infant and maternal mortality rates. Karuna Girls’ School is working to change these statistics by providing education for girls from grades 6–12, as well as vocational training for underprivileged girls and women in Lumbini. Since this is an all-girls school, parents are more willing to allow their daughters to attend, and Karuna Girls’ School has gained some popularity in the region. During the course of 2016, the school grew from serving 150 students to 186 students. The curriculum emphasizes reading, writing, computer literacy, health, hygiene, nutrition, and family planning, while vocational training includes courses in computer literacy and tailoring.

  • National Population and Housing Census 2011 (National Report)
    Volume 01, NPHC 2011 National Population and Housing Census 2011 (National Report) Government of Nepal National Planning Commission Secretariat Central Bureau of Statistics Kathmandu, Nepal November, 2012 Acknowledgement National Population and Housing Census 2011 (NPHC2011) marks hundred years in the history of population census in Nepal. Nepal has been conducting population censuses almost decennially and the census 2011 is the eleventh one. It is a great pleasure for the government of Nepal to successfully conduct the census amid political transition. The census 2011 has been historical event in many ways. It has successfully applied an ambitious questionnaire through which numerous demographic, social and economic information have been collected. Census workforce has been ever more inclusive with more than forty percent female interviewers, caste/ethnicities and backward classes being participated in the census process. Most financial resources and expertise used for the census were national. Nevertheless, important catalytic inputs were provided by UNFPA, UNWOMEN, UNDP, DANIDA, US Census Bureau etc. The census 2011 has once again proved that Nepal has capacity to undertake such a huge statistical operation with quality. The professional competency of the staff of the CBS has been remarkable. On this occasion, I would like to congratulate Central Bureau of Statistics and the CBS team led by Mr.Uttam Narayan Malla, Director General of the Bureau. On behalf of the Secretariat, I would like to thank the Steering Committee of the National Population and Housing census 2011 headed by Honorable Vice-Chair of the National Planning commission. Also, thanks are due to the Members of various technical committees, working groups and consultants.
