  • Abstract Book, First National Conference on Zoology 2020
    First National Conference on Zoology Biodiversity in a Changing World 28-30 November 2020 Abstracts Organized By Supported By: Foreword It is our pleasure to welcome you to the First National Conference on Zoology: Biodiversity in a Changing World on November 28–30, 2020 on a virtual platform. This conference is organized by the Central Department of Zoology and its Alumni on the occasion of the 55th Anniversary of the Department. This conference is supported by the IUCN Nepal, National Trust for Nature Conservation, WWF Nepal and Zoological Society of London Nepal office. The Central Department of Zoology envisioned three important strategies; teaching, research and extension of its strategic plan 2019 – 2023. The First National Conference is one of the most important extension activities of the Department in collaboration with leading conservation organizations of the country. We believe extension activities including national conference will help to mainstream zoology and make priority agenda of the government for research, faunal conservation, national development and employment. The main theme of the conference is “Biodiversity in a Changing World”, which is of utmost importance given global changes that species, ecosystem processes, landscapes and also people currently have to face together. Excessive exploitation of biological resources as well as global changes and the degradation of the natural environment have large-scale effects, some of which directly lead to the extinction of species and impacts on the health of people. The Conference provides us with the opportunity to meet, connect and learn from each other, share latest research results, and eventually envisage feasible means of conciliating human development and protect health of ecosystem and people with biodiversity conservation.

    2020 Eye Health Program- Rapti & Bahadurgunj (Rapti Eye Hospital, CKNEH-Bahadurgunj, Lamahi Eye Hospital) ANNUAL REPORT- 2020 PREFACE The pandemic of COVID-19 has badly affected the lives of people, the economy of the country, health care and eye care of individuals and communities. Before the Covid-19 pandemic (January to Mid March 2020), the clinical service was going smoothly as per the Annual plan of 2020. The outbreak of Covid 19 as a public health problem was increasing day by day from mid-March 2020 in Nepal. The hospital management was very concerned about the risk of lives and the concern of eye care service to the needy people during this pandemic period. It was our first responsibility to make our staff, volunteers and service users aware of the pandemic of covid-19. We formed a Covid Management Committee in every three Hospitals and developed a guiding protocol to run the hospital service smoothly and safely. An awareness training on "What is Covid-19 and the risk management" was conducted to all staff working in Rapti, Lamahi and Bahadurgunj. The committee strictly implemented the thumb rules of maintaining physical distance, keeping rooms neat-clean and well ventilated, wearing a mask, measuring the temperature of each patient, avoiding crowds, cleaning hands, sanitization of equipment and furniture inside the Hospital. Later, the Nepal Government imposed a nationwide lockdown from 24th March 2020. For a few months, we also had to close down all services, except emergency services till the lockdown period. From the second quarter of 2020, the clinical activities were badly affected by this pandemic of Covid-19.

  • Preparatory Survey on the Project for Human Resource Development Scholarship in the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal
    Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal Ministry of Finance (MOF) PREPARATORY SURVEY ON THE PROJECT FOR HUMAN RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT SCHOLARSHIP IN THE FEDERAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF NEPAL FINAL REPORT JUNE 2019 JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AGENCY (JICA) JAPAN DEVELOPMENT SERVICE CO., LTD. (JDS) GL JR 19-004 SUMMARY The Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal (hereinafter referred to as “Nepal”) presents a situation where the capacities and institutional framework of government organizations, including ministries and agencies, assigned to deal with various development issues are generally insufficient in terms of the staff strength, organizational structure, system, finance, etc., necessitating improvement of the administrative competency and the design of an appropriate system to properly address each development issue. The Project for Human Resources Development Scholarship, which is a grant aid cooperation project for foreign students to study in Japan since FY 2000, accepted some 4,200 students (JDS fellows) from a total of 15 countries in FY 2018 to foster human resources for the planning and implementation of social and economic development in developing countries. The JDS Programme also expects that each fellow will enhance and widen the foundations for friendly relations between Japan and his/her own country as a person with a good understanding of Japan. The JDS Programme for Nepal began in FY 2016 and 60 master’s degree students had been accepted by the end of FY 2018. In the coming years, up to 22 students (20 master’s degree students and two doctor’s degree students) will be accepted each year from FY 2020 to FY 2023 in the light of the current situation of development issues in Nepal and Japan’s planned development assistance for Nepal.
