Resolving Kathmandu Valley’s solid waste problems
Published On: August 28, 2021 07:00 AM NPT By: Dr Dhundi Raj Pathak
The waste collectors can make a schedule for waste collection. They can collect only biodegradable waste on one day and non-biodegradable waste on another day. It will help in maintaining a proper waste segregation system; otherwise this becomes only a propaganda campaign. No formal municipal waste recovery and recycling programs are practiced at present.

Silicon Valley has digitized everything but religion. Will that change in the future?
Can Buddhism contribute to International Relations theories?
Published On: August 26, 2021 07:30 AM NPT By: Dr Surendra Singh Rawal

Published On: August 22, 2021 07:18 AM NPT By: Shanker Man Singh
KATHMANDU, August 21: The most important question has never been raised: Can an open economy like Nepal pursue an independent monetary policy and inflation rate by maintaining a stable exchange rate with its major trading partners? My answer is a ‘no’. Unfortunately, policymakers never know, despite comments in the past from many organizations and individuals.
Cashless Nepal: Sour grapes or sweet lemons?
Published On: August 21, 2021 07:45 AM NPT By: Anjila Shrestha
Nepal still has a long way to go for achieving a cashless economy, but the future of digital money seems hopeful as the pace of digital payment is increasing. The divide of digital payment services between the population living outside the Kathmandu Valley and inside the Valley must be lessened. For that, digital payments must be taken as a legitimate and better alternative monetary system by the citizens in all parts of the country.
Distributive Justice in a Plot of Land
Published On: August 19, 2021 01:11 PM NPT By: Rajaram Bartaula
By developing residential community areas near the economic zones, the government could ensure the realization of the constitutional provision of creating a just society by levelling the playing field with fair access to jobs and educational opportunities for the landless. Distributing public land plots to the disadvantaged is not a permanent solution.
Antics of MCC critics
Published On: August 18, 2021 07:10 AM NPT By: Narayan Manandhar
KATHMANDU, August 18: Given Nepal’s current situation, MCC or no MCC is not going to make any difference. The sky is not going to fall without the MCC, nor will we be having a heavenly ride with the MCC. Yet, the political forces in the opposition have found it to be a rallying cry.

At a glance, the Common Minimum Program was the demand of the Maoist Center, which has been calling for an all-party mechanism to make governance easier. Experts in bureaucracy, administration, and law say that the formulation of such a program seems to have become a fashion in Nepal instead of a necessity.

In 2020, at minimum, their earnings grossed 8590 Won (roughly 7.5 USD) per hour for 40 hours a week. In 2021, the hourly minimum wage has already been increased to 8720 Won. During additional hours and holidays, workers receive even higher wages.
