Currently, there are 13,600 species of pteridophytes around the world, and is the second most dominant plant group. In India, there are 1200 pteridophyte species with 70 families and 192 genera. The pteridophyte hotspots in India are the Himalayas, Western Ghats, Eastern Ghats, Central India, and Andaman and the Nicobar Islands. The Western Ghats occupies only 6% of the Indian landmass and still holds a pteridophyte diversity of 383 species. Fern and fern allies are highly sensitive to changes in their natural habitat, thus habitat ABSTRACT destruction, anthropogenic influences, climate change, etc., are causing a fast decline in their population. Epiphytic species are easily destroyed due to the felling of trees and because of this at present 41- 43% of epiphytic pteridophytes in India are reported to be threatened. It necessitates the frequent analysis of the pteridophyte flora of a region to ensure the existence of its species diversity. The potential of in-vitro and ex-situ conservation techniques can be explored for the conservation of threatened pteridophyte species.

    Tribhuvan University Kirtipur, Kathmandu, Nepal July 17, 2013 Message from the Vice-Chancellor It gives me immense pleasure that TU Today is coming up with the updated information on Tribhuvan University (TU) in its 54th year of establishment. On this occasion, I would like to thank the Information Section, TU, and all those involved in the publica- tion of TU Today. Furthermore, I take this opportunity to express my gratitude to the teaching faculty whose relentless work, dedication and honest contribution has helped the university open up innovative academic programmes, maintain the quality of education, and enhance teaching and research. I also thank the administrative staff for effi ciently bearing the management responsibility. Nonetheless, I urge the faculty and the staff for their additional devotion, commitment and effi ciency to retain TU as one of the quality higher education institutions in the country. It is an objective reality among us that TU has been the fi rst choice of a large number of students and guardians for higher education. I sincerely thank for their trust on TU for higher education and express my unwavering determination and commitment to serve them the best by providing excellent academic opportunity. I would like to urge the students to help the university maintain its academic ethos by managing politics, maximiz- ing learning activities, and respecting the ideals of university without condition. Despite its commitment to enhance and impart quality education, TU faces many challenges in governance and resource management for providing basic infrastructure and educational facilities required for quality education environment. In spite of limited infrastructures and educational facilities, it has been producing effi cient and competent graduates.

  • District Transport Master Plan (DTMP)

    District Transport Master Plan (DTMP)

    Government of Nepal District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development Department of Local Infrastructure Development and Agricultural Roads (DOLIDAR) District Development Committee, Morang February 2013 Prepared by the District Technical Office (DTO) for Morang with Technical Assistance from the Department of Local Infrastructure and Agricultural Roads (DOLIDAR), Ministry of Federal Affairs and Local Development and grant supported by DFID i FOREWORD It is my great pleasure to introduce this District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) of Morang district especially for district road core network (DRCN). I believe that this document will be helpful in backstopping to Rural Transport Infrastructure Sector Wide Approach (RTI SWAp) through sustainable planning, resources mobilization, implementation and monitoring of the rural road sub-sector development. The document is anticipated to generate substantial employment opportunities for rural people through increased and reliable accessibility in on- farm and off-farm livelihood diversification, commercialization and industrialization of agriculture sector. In this context, rural road sector will play a fundamental role to strengthen and promote overall economic growth of this district through established and improved year round transport services reinforcing intra and inter-district linkages . Therefore, it is most crucial in executing rural road networks in a planned way as per the District Transport Master Plan (DTMP) by considering the framework of available resources in DDC comprising both internal and external sources. Viewing these aspects, DDC Morang has prepared the DTMP by focusing most of the available resources into upgrading and maintenance of the existing road networks. This document is also been assumed to be helpful to show the district road situations to the donor agencies through central government towards generating needy resources through basket fund approach.

The variables Online: 14 September 2020 except broad money supply are converted into the real terms with the help of GDP deflator with base year 2000/01 and all Keywords: the variables are converted into the natural logarithm. First, nexus, bound test, broad money supply is included into the ARDL model and long diagnostics, policy run impact of regressors on dependent variable is examined. perspective The long run impact of investment on economic growth is found to be weak. As a result, in remodeling of ARDL, the broad money JEL Classification: supply variable is dropped and results are calculated with the C51, C52, E21, E22, E60 view of examining the nexus of investment and saving on economic growth.

    The Landscape of Social Science and Humanities Journals Published from Nepal: an Analysis of Its Structural Characteristics

    THE LANDSCAPE OF SOCIAL SCIENCE AND HUMANITIES JOURNALS PUBLISHED FROM NEPAL: AN ANALYSIS OF ITS STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS Pratyoush Onta Introduction As is the case elsewhere, practitioners of social science and humanities research in Nepal have created and published their own written media to communicate their findings and analyses to their academic peers, students and the interested public at large. These media have come in the form of academic articles published in journals, as stand-alone papers or chapters in edited volumes, and as full-length monographs.1 Such forms of communication are crucial to the progress of any disciplined inquiry in the social sciences and humanities. In European history, prototypes of such journals (with the word ‘journal’ in the title) had been brought into existence by the late 17th century. During the first half of the 19th century, several journals focused on specific domains of research were founded. Some of the influential journals that are still being published were established in the mid- and late-19th century by various individuals (Steig 1986). In contrast, Nepal had to wait until 1952 to see its first academic journal. This is not surprising given the intolerance of the Rana regime (1846–1951) to most forms of social inquiry.2 That said, we might still want to ask: ‘What is an academic journal?’ Perhaps a broad definition would serve our purpose here: publications described as journals by its academic editors and producers (and this can be any person, group or institution) that appear in a series that can be numbered by volume (1, 2, 3, etc.) or volume and issue combination (such as volume 1 no 1, volume 1 no 2, etc.) can be called journals.
