  • Kulekhani I Hydropower Station
    MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR I would like to express my sincere greetings to the Generation Directorate on the publication of its 12th edition of NEA “Generation Directorate Magazine” on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of Nepal Electricity Authority. I believe the precious data presented herein will be useful to the NEA stakeholders as well as the general public. The total installed capacity of the NEA owned power plants is 626.70 MW (20 hydro and 2 thermal) out of total 1332.86 MW in INPS. The annual generation from these power plants is 3011.43 GWh, which is 50.09% of the total energy generation in Nepal. Upper Trishuli 3A (60 MW) was inaugurated by Rt. Hon’ble Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on 18 Nov, 2019. The long awaited cascade type Hydro power project, Kulekhani-III (14 MW) also started generation from 11 Oct, 2019. The taking over of this plant is still on hold due to the Covid-19 pandemic as well as a few other liabilities that need to be accomplished by the Contractor. Major rehabilitation or overhauling works were carried out in Kaligandaki A (including SCADA/ Control system upgradation), Middle Marsyangdi, Marsyangdi, Kulekhani- I & II, Sunkoshi, Modi, Trishuli, Devighat and Puwakhola HPS, even during the lockdown imposed by the government and the continued pandemic. This has ultimately resulted in minimizing generation outage due to breakdowns. These regular and timely maintenance has made Generation Directorate capable of supplying reliable and continuous energy to national grid. Finally, I’m thankful to all the employees working in the power plants, their plant managers and the entire team in Generation Directorate for putting in all the hard work to achieve the desired result.

  • Tracing the Mahabharat Thrust (MT) on the Basis of Lithology and Microstructures Around Bhainse-Manahari Area, Central Nepal
    Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 2016, Vol.Tracing 51, pp.the 39-48Mahabharat Thrust (MT) on the basis of lithology and microstructures Tracing the Mahabharat Thrust (MT) on the basis of lithology and microstructures around Bhainse-Manahari area, central Nepal *Laxman Subedi1 and Kamala Kant Acharya2 1Department of Geology, Tri Chandra Campus, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal 2Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu, Nepal (*Email: [email protected]) ABSTRACT Lithological and microstructural study carried out in Bhainse –Manahari area, central Nepal reveals that the rock sequences of the Bhainse–Manahari area can be divided into two successions: the Nawakot Complex and the Kathmandu Complex. These two Complexes are separated by a distinct thrust boundary, the Mahabharat Thrust (MT). The Nawakot Complex consists of low-grade metamorphic rocks like slate, phyllite, quartzite and limestone while the Kathmandu Complex comprises medium grade (up to garnet grade) metamorphic rocks like garnet-schist, marble and mica-schist. The Mahabharat Thrust (MT) and the Manahari Thrust (MnT) are the two major thrusts in the study area. The MT separates the rocks of the Nawakot Complex (foot wall) in the south from the rocks of the Kathmandu Complex (hanging wall) in the north. The Manahari Thrust in the western part of the study area separates the Dunga Quartzite and the older Benighat Slates lying above it. The microstructure analysis reveals that the rocks in the thrust zone show higher deformation than in the neighboring rocks, and this gradually decreases away from the MT zone. The strain analysis of quartz grains reveals that the rock sequences of the hanging wall of the MT showed pure, simple and complex shear senses and the rocks of the footwall also showed the same pattern indicating MT as a stretching fault.

  • Institution and Scale of Ecosystem Service Governance in Nepal a Case of Kulekhani Area 1
    Institution and scale of ecosystem service governance in Nepal A case of Kulekhani Area 1. Navaraj Pokharel Prince of Songkla University Faculty of Environment and Energy , Thailand 2. Yogendra Raj Rijal Ph D. Parbat, Nepal Abstract New actors with different agendas and ideas are now emerging and playing important role in decision-making about ecosystem service governance. Network types of governance has been practicing in all sectors including in conservation. Awareness about key ideas of environmental governance or protection and use of natural resources among local people is the important concern today. Nepal's efforts in ecosystem service governance in the last three decades are noteworthy but the results are far from satisfaction. Coordination among various actors is the main problem in ES governance. Due to the lack of locally elected representative in Local Bodies (LBs) since before 15 years, coordination among actors and taking decision with strategic vision has some problems. Duplication in the use of resources is high, controlling and monitoring system is weak. Institutions are weaken and no more attention is given to rural people who are traditionally depend on natural resources for their livelihoods. This paper tries to explore the key environmental governance issues relevant to the conservation with specific reference to institutional fit and scale. Key Words : ecosystem services, Kulekhaani, Watershed, Nepal etc. 1. Introduction Ecosystem service governance is one of the major crosscuttings in contemporary development agenda. Significant efforts have been taken by the state and non-state actors to protect environmental elements in the world today. However, ecosystem services are becoming increasingly threatened globally.This trend is partially due to the lack of appreciation of their value.

Introduction: Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is the girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge. We have been building powerful partnerships for children for 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries. Plan International has been working in Nepal since 1978, helping marginalized children, their families and communities to access their rights to health, hygiene and sanitation, basic education, economic security of young people, protection and safety from disasters. Through partner NGOs, community based organizations and government agencies, Plan International Nepal reaches over 42 districts. The refreshed country strategy (2020 to 2023) of Plan International Nepal sets out a bold and clear vision of an inclusive, just and safe society where all girls and young women enjoy their rights and live in freedom. In line with Plan International’s global strategy “100 Million Reasons” and the regional ambition to reach 7% of all girls in the countries where Plan works, Plan International will reach 500,000 girls directly and 1 million girls indirectly in Nepal.
