One roughly followed as late as 1959 there were forty five Newar households in the line of the present road to Kodari, crossed the border Kyirong and forty in Kuti (Jest 1993). where Friendship Bridge is built and followed a steep trail The two routes were used for the invasion of Tibet in 1788 to Kuti (Tib.

Study on Kodari Scheme of Rikaze-Kathmandu Railway
2017 2nd International Conference on Sustainable Energy and Environment Protection (ICSEEP 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-464-6 Study on Kodari Scheme of Rikaze-Kathmandu Railway Location Yaoping ZHANG1,a 1Institute of Vacuum Tube Transport, Xijing University, Xi’an 710123, China a [email protected] Keywords: Rikaze, Kathmandu, Railway location, Rack rail, Linear motor, Himalaya tunnel Abstract: Building Rikaze-Kathmandu Railway will change the broken road situation of Lasa-Rikaze Railway, activate the potential of Qingzang Railway, have Tibet as well as Lasa and Rikaze become the node of south Asia channel of “One Belt and One Road”, strengthen commercial trade and bilateral relations between China and Nepal. It is the shortest route for Rikaze-Kathmandu railway to go through Zhangmu port. By primary analysis, the feasible route should extend from the current Rikaze railway station, going through Qumei county, entering into the current G318 highway belt, then going through Jiding, Liuxiang and Resa, arriving Lazi. The route extends from Lazi, then goes through Jiacuola mountain by tunnel with 45km length, going through Jiacuo county and arriving Dingri. After Dingri, the route extends to west along with Pengqu river valley, going through Zhaguo, then arriving Gangga. Extending to southwest from Gangga, the route goes under Labujikang peak by a 42km tunnel, then arriving Yalai, then Nielamu and Zhangmu. The nature gradient between Nielamu and Zhangmu is 110‰, line mileage 20km, thus the rack rail technology or the linear motor driving should be considered for train to climb the steep slope more than 110‰. Another possible scheme is to build an 88km tunnel with a 28‰ gradient between Gangga and Zhangmu for going under Himalaya, so as to avoid the 110‰ steep slope between Nielamu-Zhangmu. -

Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)
Chapter 3 Project Evaluation and Recommendations 3-1 Project Effect It is appropriate to implement the Project under Japan's Grant Aid Assistance, because the Project will have the following effects: (1) Direct Effects 1) Improvement of Educational Environment By replacing deteriorated classrooms, which are danger in structure, with rainwater leakage, and/or insufficient natural lighting and ventilation, with new ones of better quality, the Project will contribute to improving the education environment, which will be effective for improving internal efficiency. Furthermore, provision of toilets and water-supply facilities will greatly encourage the attendance of female teachers and students. Present(※) After Project Completion Usable classrooms in Target Districts 19,177 classrooms 21,707 classrooms Number of Students accommodated in the 709,410 students 835,820 students usable classrooms ※ Including the classrooms to be constructed under BPEP-II by July 2004 2) Improvement of Teacher Training Environment By constructing exclusive facilities for Resource Centres, the Project will contribute to activating teacher training and information-sharing, which will lead to improved quality of education. (2) Indirect Effects 1) Enhancement of Community Participation to Education Community participation in overall primary school management activities will be enhanced through participation in this construction project and by receiving guidance on various educational matters from the government. 91 3-2 Recommendations For the effective implementation of the project, it is recommended that HMG of Nepal take the following actions: 1) Coordination with other donors As and when necessary for the effective implementation of the Project, the DOE should ensure effective coordination with the CIP donors in terms of the CIP components including the allocation of target districts. -
Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Sindhupalchok OSOCC Assessment Cell 08.05.2015
Nepal Earthquake District Profile - Sindhupalchok OSOCC Assessment Cell 08.05.2015 This report is produced by the OSOCC Assessment Cell based on secondary data from multiplce sources, including the Government of Nepal, UNDAC, United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organisation and media sources. I. Situation Overview Sindhupalchok is one of the worst-affected districts as a result of the earthquake that took place on the 25th April. While the initial epicentre of the earthquake was in Gorkha district, the highest magnitude (6.7) aftershock took place in Sindupolchok district 17km south of Kadari (USGS 2015). As of 7 May, 3057 people were dead and 860 are injured. 3000 people remain unaccounted for. Many VDCs have still not been reached due to remoteness and accessibility both in terms of roads and telecommunications (GoN 8 May). According to district authorities 63,885 houses are severely and 2,751 houses are moderately damaged. Based on government reporting on damaged houses as of 6th May an estimated 109,000 people (Ministry of Home Affairs 7th May) are affected (40% of district population as per the 2011 Census). Around 90,000 people have been identified as in need of assistance based on reporting at the VDC level. This figure is however unconfirmed and represents merely a preliminary estimate based on a combination of reports from a range of sources providing information on needs at the VDC level1 (pls. see below map for an illustration of aggregated number of reported people in need). 1 . Sources include Humanitarian agencies sit-reps, assessment reports, government data, social and news media. -
WASH Cluster Nepal 4W - May 12Th 2015
WASH Cluster Nepal 4W - May 12th 2015 Please find following the analysis of the 4W data – May 12th Introduction (Round 2) This is the second round of the 4W analysis. As this is the second round and still early in the emergency response, many agencies are still planning their interventions and caseloads, hence much of the data is understandably incomplete. In the coming week/s we will receive far more comprehensive partner data and will be able to show realistic gaps. In addition, we are receiving better affected population data and there are many ongoing assessments, the results of which will help us to understand both the response data and the affected population data and enable us to deliver a far more profound analysis of the WASH response. Please assist us as we have a lot of information gaps in the data provided so far and hence the maps are not yet providing a true picture of the response. We would like to quickly move to VDC mapping including planned/reached beneficiaries. Since the first round of reporting, agencies have provided substantially more VDC‐level data – as of today, of 740 WASH activities identified, 546 of these (74%) are matched to an identified VDC ‐ this is a big improvement from last week (which had VDC data for 192 of 445 activities, or 43%) The Highlights ・ 47 Organisations – number of organisations that reported in Round 1 and/or Round 2 of the WASH 4W ・ 206 VDCs – where WASH interventions taking place/planned (in 15 districts) 4W – WASH May 12th 2015 Water0B Spread of water activities ‐ targeted Temporary -
