Regulate Cooperatives
Recognised as the third pillar of Nepal’s economy, cooperative is an autonomous financial institution run with the money collected from its members. As every member has the equal say over the matters of the cooperatives, they function under a democratic framework. The people get involved in the cooperatives to serve their immediate economic needs and start new entrepreneurship with moderate investment.

Derided At Home, Wowed In West
Someone being praised at home but condemned in other countries is not an exception. At times, a political figure gets commended both at home and in foreign lands. However, it is extremely rare that a prominent name attracts profuse praise in other parts of the world but remains derided at home. Mikhail Gorbachev, the last Soviet president, was hailed in especially the West in contrast to being derided and demonised in his own country. When he breathed his last on Tuesday at the age of 91, the news was met with nothing more than bare formality at best. For the larger part, it attracted indifference. Not long after he became president in 1985, Gorbachev responded positively to the capitalist West’s suggestions and proposals. His perestroika (restructuring) and glasnost (openness) policies were greeted in the capitalist capitals as landmark steps.

The Value Of Charity
Charity is an attitude of kindness towards others especially suggesting generosity as it pertains the goods or money to the needy. “Charity begins at home” is the famous phrase which completely suits to those people who have forgotten the real preferences in their life like family, closed relatives, society, community or their own country. It has a deep essence of life. We all are aware that poverty persists in all countries regardless of their economic, social and cultural situation. Every year, charities all over the world help to save and improve people’s lives, fighting diseases, protecting children, and giving hope to many thousands of people. To honour the important work that these many charities do, in 2012 the United Nations decided to nominate an annual International Day of Charity as an official day of recognition and celebration.
