Advocate Shanti Kumari Rai Chairperson LAHURNIP iv assessing the impacts of advocacy initiatives on indigenous Peoples’ Development agenda Preface The indigenous peoples of Nepal have been constantly advocating for inclusive and justifiable development in the nation. It is plausible to maintain inclusive democracy, equality and prosperity. Nepal has witnessed discrimination and oppression against historically marginalized communities based on ethnicity, race, sex, region, religion. Indigenous Peoples of Nepal is one of the major sections of the society; accommodate approx. 35.81% national populations, marginalized from the development process of the nation. Meaningful participation of historically marginalized communities in the planning process is inevitable to ensure equal development of all sections of the society. For that the periodic plan of the government of Nepal is expected to be inclusive from its planning process to implementation and monitoring. But it is far from the aspirations of the indigenous peoples and other marginalized communities. However, indigenous peoples have been collectively acting to ensure the planning document inclusive and participatory. For this, the indigenous peoples’ organization, National Foundation for Development of Indigenous Nationalities (NFDIN); Nepal Federation of Indigenous Nationalities (NEFIN), National Indigenous Women’s Federation (NIWF); Youth Federation of Indigenous Nationalities, Nepal (YFIN, Nepal); Nepal Indigenous Disabled Association (NIDA); Federation of Nepalese Indigenous Nationalities Journalists’ (FoNIJ); Lawyers’ Association for Human Rights of Nepalese Indigenous Peoples (LAHURNIP); have restlessly worked to support the National Planning Commission and intervene in the planning process to make it inclusive. Remarkably, the hard work of Dr. Chaitanya Subba, former member of NPC, and his team has been instrumental to prepare a concrete document. Most importantly, these organizations have collectively prepared a “Proposed Five Years (2019/20 – 2023/24) Indigenous Peoples’ Development Plan” and presented to the respective authority responsible for preparation of the Fifteenth Plan (Fiscal Year 2019/20 – 2023/24), such as NPC, planning commissions in the provinces and local governments. In the course of preparation this document consultations have been made with the representatives of NPC, provincial governments, local governments, indigenous peoples organizations from federal to local levels. Basically, the document is prepared to enhance inclusive development and democracy. The Indigenous Navigator- a set of tools to systematically monitor the level of recognition and implementation of the rights of Indigenous Peoples, Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989 (ILO C. 169) and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) are guiding international human rights instruments pertaining to indigenous peoples for formulation of this document. The present report is the comparative analysis of the final planning document of the government of Nepal and the proposed fifth year plan of the indigenous peoples. The first chapter deals with the details of the proposed indigenous peoples’ development to be incorporated in the NPC’s 15th Plan. It was prepared as a development advocacy document for Nepalese indigenous peoples to pursue all three levels of government, primarily focusing on central (federal level) government. For this purpose, it was widely used. The second chapter contains the major development outlines of five years of the Government’ 15 Plan that are directly and indirectly related to indigenous peoples v assessing the impacts of advocacy initiatives on indigenous Peoples’ Development agenda (Janajati/Asivasi Janajati/ disadvantaged communities/marginalized and endangered ethnicities). Apparently, it is evident that after the persistent initiatives of indigenous peoples many issues/ demands and activities, which were presented to the NPC in time, have been accommodated to a some extent in the planning document. However, the demand of separate section for the development of indigenous peoples in the five-year plan document of government it has not been accepted. The planning document lately published has indicated that there are some spaces for the incorporation of indigenous development demands in future for which IPOs should strive continuously. The third chapter presents the glimpse of the analysis of the development strategies and working policies scattered throughout the 15th plan document which are the bases of planned programs or projects. In the chapter, it is argued that such consideration is a positive signal and set precedents

    Bulletin of Department of Geology, TribhuvanVegetation University, and climate Kathmandu, around 780 Nepal, kyrs BP vol. in 20-21, northern 2018, Kathmandu pp. 37-48. valley, central Nepal Vegetation and climate around 780 kyrs BP in northern Kathmandu valley, central Nepal *Sima Humagain and Khum N. Paudayal Central Department of Geology, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal ABSTRACT Palynological study from the Dharmasthali Formation exposed in the northern part of Kathmandu valley revealed the composition of forest vegetation that were growing in middle Pleistocene (780 kyrs BP) in this area. In a total fifteen samples were collected from the 46 m exposed section for the palynological study. The profile can be divided into two zones on the basis of pollen assemblages. The lower part (DF-I) is dominated by Pteridophyte spores such as Lygodium, Polypodium, Cyathea and Pteris. The dominance of Pteridophytes indicate that the forest floor was moist and humid. The tree pollen consists of Abies, Pinus, Quercus, Podocarpus and Alnus. Other Gymnosperms such as Picea and Tsuga were represented by very low percentage. Poaceae and Cyperaceae show their strong presence indicating grassland and wetland conditions around the depositional basin. In the upper zone (DF-II) there is increase of Gymnosperms such as Picea and Abies. The subtropical Gymnosperm Podocarpus decreased while Tsuga completely became absent in this zone. Cold climate preferring trees such as Cedrus, Betula, Juglans and Ulmus appeared first time in this zone. The climate became even colder and drier in the upper part of the section. Near water plants such as Cyperaceae and Typha show their dominance in this zone.

  • KUKL Annual Report 2077
    Annual Report Thirteenth Anniversary Annual Report Thirteenth Anniversary Annual Report Thirteenth Anniversary Message from Chairman of Board of Directors I am very glad to say here that KUKL has been able to successfully complete 13 years of it’s service in serving the population of Kathmandu Valley. Supplying water and managing wastewater services in Kathmandu valley has for the past few years become a very challenging task due to factors like rapidly increasing population, fast urbanization and increase in water demand due to changes in living standards of the Valley residents. Shortage of reliable sources of inside the Valley and the weak infrastructure inherited since a long past by KUKL has made it doubly difficult for us to serve the customers. I also take this opportunity to express my gratitude to our customers, who despite the serious shortages in service, have so far put their trust on us and provided us their continuous support. KUKL is an autonomous company, which was formed in 2007 is a unique utility under a Public- Private Partnership concept. The company was formed with shareholding by the national government, the five municipalities existing inside the Valley at it’s time of formation and FNCCI and NCC as organized private sector entities. KUKL is now is expecting a change in this situation with the signs of long awaited Melamchi water diversion about to be realized soon. This is expected to add 170 MLD of water daily to the system, which will more than double KUKL’s current supply capacity. As the newly appointed chairperson, I am confident of KUKL’s capacity to professionally and efficiently manage this additional water and wish to call upon all KUKL staff to embrace this new challenge to equitably deliver water received from Melamchi to consumer taps, as soon as possible.

Keywords: Place marketing, local governance, socio-economic development Introduction Governance as a composite function of the state, private sector and civil society. Governance includes the state, but transcends it by taking in the private sector and society. All three are critical for sustaining human development. The state creates a conducive political and legal environment. The private sector generates jobs and income. And civil society facilitates political and social interactions (Mehata, 1998). Local Government is a confluence of two philosophical 'self-government' and 'good' government. Self-government is both a psychological and pragmatic necessity.
