    Englishes Today I February 2016 I Volume II, Issue I ISSN : 2395 4809 ENGLISHES TODAY I February 2016 I Vol. II, Issue I I ISSN : 2395 4809 Culture as Language: The Maithili Trajectory Dr. Usha Sharan Sr. Asst. Professor, Department of English, Purnea Mahila College,Purnea. B.N Mandal University, Bihar, INDIA. Abstract Language as a construct of the cultural heritage, has become a ground for raising several issues related to tangible and intangible forms of the inherited past. It has become a discourse which involves the existence of a historical past that shapes and influences a large part of the human existence and psyche. It also entails concerns which are engendered by the necessity and importance of our past. Our roots, as such, in turn, nourish and provide a background for the growth of fresh cultural behavior and dialectics. The understanding of one’s quest for the ‘self’ is engendered in a novel way through this identity as a form of inherited culture. Thus language as one of the oldest human institutions becomes a discourse cutting cross cultural boundaries. The cultural and social system of particular areas becomes intrinsic to one’s identity as language has an inevitable link with it. India is known for its diverse culture, based on various linguistic areas and concerns .Among these languages is Maithili, spoken widely in the northern and eastern Bihar and a large part of the Terai region of Nepal, which occupies a status in the 8th schedule in the Constitution of India . Originating from the Indo-Aryan family, the spoken Vedic dialects developed into the Magadhi, which later branched out in the North-East into Maithili, Odiya, Bangla And Assamese.

  • Transmission Cov-Web
    MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR It gives me great pleasure to pen these words for the Transmission Directorate and the Project Management Directorate’s joint year book on the occasion of Nepal Electricity Authority’s 36th anniversary. Transmission and Project Management Directorate together have been essential in bridging the growth in generation and distribution in Nepal. With the growing infrastructure within these directorates, we have been able to evacuate large amounts of power being produced or purchased in the country to anywhere within the rapidly growing electricity network which is the Integrated Nepal Power System (INPS). Work in the field of transmission line can be exceptionally challenging especially this year with the Covid-19 pandemic still looming over us, but both the directorates have pulled through and I would like to congratulate the Transmission Directorate and PMD for yet another successful year adding 604.74 ckt. km and 2134 MVA . This fiscal year also marked the completion and inauguration of 400 kV Dhalkebar the first of its kind, marking the entry of Nepal in the Extra High Voltage 400 kV system. This has been regarded as a remarkable milestones in the Nepalese power system. The completion of Dana-Kushma 220 kV transmission line and 132 kV Samudratar -trishuli 3B hub transmission line in this year has also made the system robust. The long troubled Singati- Lamosaghu transmission line has also seen its 1st circuit completed this year. I am also glad to note that work is ongoing in these directorates to [insert what has been going on in planning and system improvement/ upgradation sector].

Improper waste segregation, handling, transport and treatment leads to direct adverse effects on health and environment. To improve the biomedical waste management at Biratnagar Eye Hospital, a Waste Management Committee was formed on January 1, 2018. Health Care Waste Management Policy and Health Care Waste Management Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) were developed. This Policy and SOP act as a guideline for Health Care Waste Management of Hospital. With the implementation of scientific system of segregation of waste at source, transportation, treatment and disposal, hospital has been able to achieve zero waste concept and has been accredited by ISO 14001:2015 to promote effective environmental management systems.
