Stability For Investment
Investment is regarded as the engine of economic growth. High economic growth can only be achieved by mobilising high level of investments in the economy. As the capacity of the government to invest is very low in case of Nepal, private investments are crucial to accelerate its economic growth. The flow of private investments from both the domestic and foreign investors, however, is highly influenced by the profitability of doing business. And the profitability in the business is largely affected by the investment climate in the economy. A wide range of factors including sound macroeconomic policy, political and economic stability, well-functioning legal and regulatory framework sound infrastructures, among others, play an important role to create a conducive investment climate in the country. The investment climate has been significantly improved after the country entered into the new system of governance.

Technology Shaping Value System
Recently, this scribe observed a mother and child playing together at the Simra airport. The mother was talking to somebody on her mobile but while doing so she was also directing the camera of her mobile towards her toddler, who even without any instructions from the mother started posing for the picture. The mother then kept on shooting pictures and getting her toddler to keep posing. After a few minutes, the child got tired and started running away from the mother to start playing around the waiting room, but the mother kept following her and taking video shoots, probably to make a TikTok later.
Keep Tradition Alive
If you happen to be offering a prayer to the deities in a temple during the month of Shrawan, you will find girls and women adorned in green and red. Green and red bangles clink together. And red and green shalwar, kurtha and sari wrap around a woman’s figure. It isn’t a coincidence. In Nepal, Shrawan is the month in which women worship Lord Shiva and add a touch of green to their wardrobe in hopes of appeasing the Lord Shiva. As such, Shrawan heralds the start of the festival season.

Birijat fair begins in Bajhang with fanfare
Bajhang’s famous Birijat Fair, which is celebrated in the Surma Rural Municipality of the district, has started. But if you are thinking of making a trip here with your romantic partner then beware, because some stories warn that you may end up breaking up. Admittedly, these may be more fiction than fact and could be a reflection of our society’s attitude towards love in the past.
