Melamchi is whispered in hushed tones, as if it is manna from heaven. Successive gangs of politicians since 1990 have sold Melamchi as the panacea to the capital’s perennial water problem. Melamchi has already entered the vocabulary of Kathmandu’s socialites as a synonym for water. “Can I have a glass of melamchi, please”, or “Make mine Scotch with melamchi”. Halfway through pontificating on the Valley’s water crisis, politicians on the podium reach for a glass of melamchi. With a population reaching nearly a million and a half, Kathmandu needs 150 million litres of water a day. Present supply is officially 80 million litres a day, al- though unofficially it is known that His Majesty’s Government’s undertaking, the Nepal Water Supply STATE OF THE STATE by CK LAL Corporation, pumps only 60 percent of that amount.

  • Conservation of Water Heritage in Kathmandu Metropolitan City 1
    Conservation of Water Heritage in Kathmandu Metropolitan City Sujama Khadge, Sudarshan Raj Tiwari Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, IOE, Central Campus, Pulchowk, Tribhuvan University, Nepal Corresponding Email: [email protected] Abstract: Water sustains life on earth. Water was supplied in earlier times by understanding the natural topography and utilizing all natural materials, forms and features to develop a highly engineered water supply system which is evident in the traditional water supply system of the Kathmandu Valley. Not only the construction but also maintenance was forethought and responsibilities were given to the families, community and city level by intertwining the maintenance and public welfare into religious and cultural practices organized annually. The study focuses on the scenario of water heritage (ponds, hities or stonespouts and wells) and their linkages in the city core sector of Kathmandu Metropolitan City. The water heritage have served centuries of civilization and are still in operation. But, ignorance of the locals towards traditional water supply system due to modern household water supply has led to the defunct condition and loss of water heritage. Nevertheless, the conservation approaches has revived some of the water heritage and there is a possibility of conserving water heritages. The positive approaches, ground water recharge, source conservation and surface water management would add to the sustainability of water heritage and give the utilitarian value to the water heritages rather than a work of art and architecture. Keywords: Water heritage; conservation; ponds; hities; wells 1. Introduction at depression are the two terminologies normally used by the Newars for the stone spouts. [3] Water heritages of Kathmandu Metropolitan City are mainly stone water spouts, ponds and wells.

  • Public Open Spaces in Crisis: Appraisal and Observation from Metropolitan Kathmandu, Nepal
    Vol. 13(4), pp. 77-90, October-December, 2020 DOI: 10.5897/JGRP2020.0797 Article Number: B74E25D65143 ISSN 2070-1845 Copyright © 2020 Author(s) retain the copyright of this article Journal of Geography and Regional Planning http://www.academicjournals.org/JGRP Full Length Research Paper Public open spaces in Crisis: Appraisal and observation from metropolitan Kathmandu, Nepal Krishna Prasad Timalsina Department of Geography, Trichandra Multiple Campus, Faculty of Humanities and Social Science, Tribhuvan University (TU), Nepal. Received 10 September, 2020; Accepted 13 October, 2020 There is an emerging debate in the literature of urbanism that public open space is in crisis in the cities of developing countries due to the increasing trends of urbanization and in-migration. With the significant growth of the urban population and rapid expansion of the city, the land demand for housing and other infrastructure development is very high. The high rate of urbanization due to which encroachment, high speculation, use change, etc. are the major reasons for decreasing public open spaces. There are many inferences that public open spaces are decreasing in Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC) as Tundikhel; an important public open space located in the heart of Kathmandu is decreasing in its size and has changed in its use over time. At present, KMC does not have a sizable public open space for emergency uses such as evacuation, relief, recovery, and reconstruction during the catastrophic hazards. Analysis of historical imagery and the changing patterns of land use reveal that the decreasing trends of open spaces may lead more vulnerable to the city as it does not have public open space for disaster management in an emergency need.

An official holiday in India, the Diwali symbolizes the victory of good over evil. According to the Hindu almanac, Diwali is a five-day festival, which commences on the new moon day, which ends in the month of Ashwin, or the beginning of the Kartika month. This means that it begins on the 13th day of the dark half of Ashwin and ends on the 2nd day of the bright half of Kartika. The main day of Diwali differs as per the region the person comes from. Symbolism of Diwali During Diwali, cotton wicks are placed in diyas (or little lamps), filled with oil and lighted. This signifies the individual seeker trying to triumph over the evil forces residing within himself, by lighting the lamp of true knowledge inside his spiritual being. In India and also among many parts of Nepal, Buy this Oil Lamp Diwali is celebrated as the homecoming of Lord Rama after his 14-year Vanvaas (exile in OIL LAMP OR DIYA the forest) and triumph over Ravana, the demon King of Lanka. According to legend, the residents of Ayodhya (Rama’s birthplace) welcomed Rama home by lighting rows (avail) of lamps (dipa). Hence the name, "Dipavali".

  • Revealing What Is Dear: the Post-Earthquake Iconisation of the Dharahara, Kathmandu Author: Michael Hutt, SOAS University Of
    This is the version of the article accepted for publication in Journal of Asian Studies published by Cambridge University Press: DOI: https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021911819000172. Accepted version downloaded from SOAS Research Online: http://eprints.soas.ac.uk/30148 Revealing What is Dear: the post-earthquake iconisation of the Dharahara, Kathmandu Author: Michael Hutt, SOAS University of London Abstract On 25 April 2015 central Nepal was struck by a magnitude 7.8 earthquake which killed over 9000 people and displaced 2.8 million. The image of the Dharahara, a nineteenth century minaret which collapsed during the quake, quickly became for many Nepalis an iconic representation not only of the disaster but also of a national determination to recover and rebuild. Edward Simpson has argued that the aftermath of a disaster is ‘a product of the longer history of a locality’ and it is the aftermath ‘that may reveal what is dear’ (Simpson 2013: 53, 50). Drawing upon media and literary discourse in the Nepali language, this article asks why the Dharahara tower loomed so large in the Nepali imagination in the immediate aftermath of the April 2015 earthquake, rather than the country’s severely damaged World Heritage sites, and why it became a rallying point for a resurgence of Nepali hill nationalism. Keywords: Disasters, nationalism, heritage, Nepal, public memory, politics thado nak samasta kantipurko he ucchata kritrim! jyami lakh thiyau pavitra pasina he meghko ashram! seto stambha sukirtiko Dharahara! deu malai bida! he aglo prahari sari nagarko!

(2071/72 B.S.) FOREWORD igher Education Management Information System (H-EMIS) remains an important part for strengthening the capacity of higher education system. University Grants Commission has been pursuing the H-EMIS since 2007. HUGC has prepared and adopted a systematic framework for data collection. Managing data and publishing annual report is a regular activity of UGC. It is the eighth year of publication. Credible system of data/information management is one of the crucial activities for higher education reform and development. Since UGC initiated development and implementation of performance based public funding in higher education, it has become imperative to have the data reliable and verifiable. The government of Nepal has recently endorsed and started to implement the national higher education policy that has emphasized on its need for the development of better higher education management system (HEMIS). In addressing the needs, the Higher Education Reform Project (HERP 2015-2020), a national priority project for supporting implementation of the higher education policy aims to build a comprehensive and coordinated HEMIS extending from UGC to the universities and to their respective campuses that is open and accessible to all stakeholders including educational planers, researchers, critiques, faculties, and students.
