Anti-graft Drive
Since corruption weakens democracy and impedes the entire economic development process, it is essential for every nation to tackle this social evil once and for all. Corruption is an abuse of delegated power and authority for private gain. Public bodies and institutions lose people’s trust when their activities are not transparent. Those holding public positions are supposed to carry out their responsibilities in an accountable manner. But many public officials are not found abiding by the principle of accountability in the course of performing their duties. Integrity, rule of law, moral-based decision-making and participation are other key values of good governance. When corruption thrives in any society, it leads to inequality, mass frustration, social divisions and a host of other problems. Bearing all this in view, the Constitution of Nepal, 2015 envisions the rule of law, transparency and accountability which are inalienable elements of good governance.
War Aggravates Global Climate
War brings death and destruction – not least to the environment and climate. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine offers a depressing reminder of that fact, and further increases the military sector’s already enormous global CO2 footprint. In addition, the eastern Ukrainian cities where fighting is taking place are home to fossil fuel infrastructure such as chemical factories, oil refineries, and coal mines, the bombing of which produces a cocktail of toxic substances that has devastating environmental impacts. Efforts to arm the two sides, moreover, are consuming materials and resources that could otherwise go towards tackling the climate crisis.
Expand Habitats For Wild Cats
Globally rising population coupled with fast expansion of concrete jungle has put nature in jeopardy. This effect is evidently seen in rare wildlife species like tiger.

Recently, Nepal government conducted a census to count the existing number of tigers available within the country. And the results were astonishing. The country now accommodates a total of 355 tigers, a figure that has tripled since 2010. This is a clear indication that Nepal is the one and only tiger range country that has achieved the goal it pledged to meet 12 years ago. Wildlife conservationists around the globe are elated by this news and the government is beaming with joy and pride.
