	Ashish Bhardwaj, Regional Director of Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) said that number of Nepali students appearing in GMAT has declined by 40 per cent in three years. In 2009 there were 300 students appearing in the test from Nepal. That number fell to 190 in 2011. However 310 Nepali students appear in the test from outside Nepal. </p>

	The GMAT is accepted in more than 5000 management programmes at over 2000 business schools all across the globe. Bhardwaj said that many Nepali students are unaware of the test and its significance. He said, “Students know very little about this test’s importance. We are trying to spread more information to attract more test takers from Nepal.” Currently, over a dozen of education consultancies are running classes for test preparation in Nepal. &nbsp;</p>',

	Na t i o n a l B u s i n e s s I n i t i a t i v e (NBI) Nepal organised an interactive forum on December 1 to bring different stakeholders together to discuss non-economic barriers that plague private sector development in Nepal and to find out possible interventions for solving this problem. A challenging security environment and continuing tensions between employers and employees were the focus of the discussion between representatives of the business sector, trade unions, security providers and international agencies. </p>
<p>
	The programme was organised by NBI with support from International Alert. Padma Jyoti, President of NBI, highlighted the situation industrialists are going through of late. He introduced the programme as a platform to identify the root causes of conflict and to garner suggestions for possible solutions from the stakeholders. Manish Kumar Agrawal, Vice-Chairman of the Employers’ Council of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) pointed out the scarcity of qualified arbitrators and mediators as the major challenge and urged all parties to adopt a rather long-term perspective to achieve mutual goals. He further urged to link wages and benefits with productivity to increase incentives for high performance and establish a better working culture. Bishnu Rimal, President of the General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions (GEFONT) and other trade union representatives urged all stakeholders to create a better understanding of joint objectives such as stability and employment creation and to build trust. </p>
<p>
	Rameshwor Prasad Khanal, Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister, pointed out the need of professionalism among employers and employees, sound working environment and transparency in doing business as the prerequisites for better industrial relations. He further stressed the need of third party interventions and mitigation to solve industrial problems. Economist Dr Chiranjibi Nepal warned that any delay in improving security situation increase the possibility of capital and business moving abroad with the consequent risk of further unemployment, frustration and conflict. &nbsp;</p>',

	Handicraft export in the first three months of fiscal year 2011/12 has increased by 31.22 per cent compared to the same period of previous fiscal year. From about three dozen handicraft products, only seven could not register a growth in exports, said Bikash Ratna Dhakhwa, President of Federation of Handicraft Association Nepal (FHAN). Dhakwa said that Rs 1.185 billion was earned from the export of these goods. This figure during the same period of fiscal year 2010/11 was Rs 903.5 million. According to Dhakwa, favourable working environment created with the improvement in political situation has led to the increase in export. “After the settlement of wage issues with labourers, industries have been able to produce and supply to meet the demand,” said Dhakwa. He also claimed that some of the credit for this increase in exports goes to the various programmes organised by FHAN for export promotion. &nbsp;</p>',

	The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has signed a seven-year agreement with France’s air transport communications and IT solutions specialist organisation SITA to tackle check-in queues at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu. <img align="middle" alt="sita" border="3" height="25" hspace="1" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/tia.jpg" vspace="1" width="100" /></p>
<p>
	Long queues are a consequence of the lack of airline common-use facilities at the airport, states a press release issued after the agreement was signed promising that with the introduction of SITA’s common-use platform AirportConnect Open, queues will be reduced and passenger flow through the airport will greatly improve as check-in areas can be used more efficiently.</p>
<p>
	SITA AirportConnect Open will be initially implemented at 24 check-in counters and later expanded to 36 counters, states the release. Ratish Chandra Lal Suman, General Manager of TIA, said: “We selected SITA after an extremely competitive international bidding process. This upgrade to our check-in facilities is timely as we have seen record levels of passenger traffic this year with the heavy promotion of Nepal Tourism Year 2011.” Passenger numbers are expected to grow further from now until April, the peak tourism period in Nepal. There was a real boom last year when international airlines serving the country grew their passenger volumes by over 20 per cent. </p>
<p>
	Maneesh Jaikrishna, SITA Country Director for India and Subcontinent, said: “Airlines, airports and governments have increasingly complex requirements. They need consistent passenger processing, reduced congestion and improved passenger flows.” AirportConnect Open will provide Tribhuvan International Airport with the flexibility to cope with peaks in traffic during the busiest times of the year for tourism and trade. &nbsp;</p>',

Prashant Singh, the CEO of HCI said “The Climate Smart Celebrity Trek will engage Apa as a Nepali celebrity to attract global celebrities to the trail. Apa and HCI have already reached out to many prominent global celebrities in this regard, and efforts are on to get their confirmation.” The mountaineer duo will be accompanied by Saurav Dhakal, British Council International Climate Champion, and Samir Jung Thapa who will serve as the official photographer of the event. The meticulously planned trek will be welcomed by local communities at eleven specific points on the GHT where Apa, Dawa, their trek-team and the communities will share their experiences and discuss the development needs of the mountain communities. &nbsp;</p>',

	Na t i o n a l B u s i n e s s I n i t i a t i v e (NBI) Nepal organised an interactive forum on December 1 to bring different stakeholders together to discuss non-economic barriers that plague private sector development in Nepal and to find out possible interventions for solving this problem. A challenging security environment and continuing tensions between employers and employees were the focus of the discussion between representatives of the business sector, trade unions, security providers and international agencies. </p>
<p>
	The programme was organised by NBI with support from International Alert. Padma Jyoti, President of NBI, highlighted the situation industrialists are going through of late. He introduced the programme as a platform to identify the root causes of conflict and to garner suggestions for possible solutions from the stakeholders. Manish Kumar Agrawal, Vice-Chairman of the Employers’ Council of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) pointed out the scarcity of qualified arbitrators and mediators as the major challenge and urged all parties to adopt a rather long-term perspective to achieve mutual goals. He further urged to link wages and benefits with productivity to increase incentives for high performance and establish a better working culture. Bishnu Rimal, President of the General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions (GEFONT) and other trade union representatives urged all stakeholders to create a better understanding of joint objectives such as stability and employment creation and to build trust. </p>
<p>
	Rameshwor Prasad Khanal, Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister, pointed out the need of professionalism among employers and employees, sound working environment and transparency in doing business as the prerequisites for better industrial relations. He further stressed the need of third party interventions and mitigation to solve industrial problems. Economist Dr Chiranjibi Nepal warned that any delay in improving security situation increase the possibility of capital and business moving abroad with the consequent risk of further unemployment, frustration and conflict. &nbsp;</p>',

From about three dozen handicraft products, only seven could not register a growth in exports, said Bikash Ratna Dhakhwa, President of Federation of Handicraft Association Nepal (FHAN). Dhakwa said that Rs 1.185 billion was earned from the export of these goods. This figure during the same period of fiscal year 2010/11 was Rs 903.5 million. According to Dhakwa, favourable working environment created with the improvement in political situation has led to the increase in export. “After the settlement of wage issues with labourers, industries have been able to produce and supply to meet the demand,” said Dhakwa. He also claimed that some of the credit for this increase in exports goes to the various programmes organised by FHAN for export promotion. &nbsp;</p>',

	Samsher Lamsal, a constable of Nepal Police, has set a new world record for the longest non-stop two-wheeler ride, without letting his foot touch the ground. He successfully rode a Honda CB Twister Bike for 25 hours over 957 kilometres on November 20-21. Lamsal began his record journey at 8:30am from Ratnapark in Kathmandu on Sunday, 20 November and stopped his bike only after 25 hours at Bhajuratna Engineering and Sales Pvt Ltd, Narayanghat at 9:32 am on Monday, 21 November. Arrangements were made to ensure that the necessities such as fuel, food and water were provided to the man and his bike without disrupting the record attempt. His bike travelled along the route of Kathmandu-Narayanghat- Hetauda-Narayanghat-Butwal-Hetauda-Narayanghat.</p>
<p>
	The Honda CD Twister that travelled the distance of 957 kms without any mechanical failures to set the world record used approximately 15 litres of petrol, setting the mileage of Honda CB Twister at 63.8 kms per litre. Constable Lamsal’s successful attempt to set a world record was managed by 81e Pvt Ltd, an event management company. </p>
<p>
	The event was assisted by Nepal Police and sponsored by Syakar Company, the authorised dealer of Honda bikes in Nepal. “I am very happy and proud that I have been able to achieve my target,” said Lamsal. Mathura Shrestha of Global Records adjudicated his attempt and has judged the feat to be a new world record. &nbsp;</p>',

	The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has signed a seven-year agreement with France’s air transport communications and IT solutions specialist organisation SITA to tackle check-in queues at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu. <img align="middle" alt="sita" border="3" height="25" hspace="1" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/tia.jpg" vspace="1" width="100" /></p>
<p>
	Long queues are a consequence of the lack of airline common-use facilities at the airport, states a press release issued after the agreement was signed promising that with the introduction of SITA’s common-use platform AirportConnect Open, queues will be reduced and passenger flow through the airport will greatly improve as check-in areas can be used more efficiently.</p>
<p>
	SITA AirportConnect Open will be initially implemented at 24 check-in counters and later expanded to 36 counters, states the release. Ratish Chandra Lal Suman, General Manager of TIA, said: “We selected SITA after an extremely competitive international bidding process. This upgrade to our check-in facilities is timely as we have seen record levels of passenger traffic this year with the heavy promotion of Nepal Tourism Year 2011.” Passenger numbers are expected to grow further from now until April, the peak tourism period in Nepal. There was a real boom last year when international airlines serving the country grew their passenger volumes by over 20 per cent. </p>
<p>
	Maneesh Jaikrishna, SITA Country Director for India and Subcontinent, said: “Airlines, airports and governments have increasingly complex requirements. They need consistent passenger processing, reduced congestion and improved passenger flows.” AirportConnect Open will provide Tribhuvan International Airport with the flexibility to cope with peaks in traffic during the busiest times of the year for tourism and trade. &nbsp;</p>',

	Na t i o n a l B u s i n e s s I n i t i a t i v e (NBI) Nepal organised an interactive forum on December 1 to bring different stakeholders together to discuss non-economic barriers that plague private sector development in Nepal and to find out possible interventions for solving this problem. A challenging security environment and continuing tensions between employers and employees were the focus of the discussion between representatives of the business sector, trade unions, security providers and international agencies. </p>
<p>
	The programme was organised by NBI with support from International Alert. Padma Jyoti, President of NBI, highlighted the situation industrialists are going through of late. He introduced the programme as a platform to identify the root causes of conflict and to garner suggestions for possible solutions from the stakeholders. Manish Kumar Agrawal, Vice-Chairman of the Employers’ Council of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) pointed out the scarcity of qualified arbitrators and mediators as the major challenge and urged all parties to adopt a rather long-term perspective to achieve mutual goals. He further urged to link wages and benefits with productivity to increase incentives for high performance and establish a better working culture. Bishnu Rimal, President of the General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions (GEFONT) and other trade union representatives urged all stakeholders to create a better understanding of joint objectives such as stability and employment creation and to build trust. </p>
<p>
	Rameshwor Prasad Khanal, Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister, pointed out the need of professionalism among employers and employees, sound working environment and transparency in doing business as the prerequisites for better industrial relations. He further stressed the need of third party interventions and mitigation to solve industrial problems. Economist Dr Chiranjibi Nepal warned that any delay in improving security situation increase the possibility of capital and business moving abroad with the consequent risk of further unemployment, frustration and conflict. &nbsp;</p>',

	Handicraft export in the first three months of fiscal year 2011/12 has increased by 31.22 per cent compared to the same period of previous fiscal year. From about three dozen handicraft products, only seven could not register a growth in exports, said Bikash Ratna Dhakhwa, President of Federation of Handicraft Association Nepal (FHAN). Dhakwa said that Rs 1.185 billion was earned from the export of these goods. This figure during the same period of fiscal year 2010/11 was Rs 903.5 million. According to Dhakwa, favourable working environment created with the improvement in political situation has led to the increase in export. “After the settlement of wage issues with labourers, industries have been able to produce and supply to meet the demand,” said Dhakwa. He also claimed that some of the credit for this increase in exports goes to the various programmes organised by FHAN for export promotion. &nbsp;</p>',

	Samsher Lamsal, a constable of Nepal Police, has set a new world record for the longest non-stop two-wheeler ride, without letting his foot touch the ground. He successfully rode a Honda CB Twister Bike for 25 hours over 957 kilometres on November 20-21. Lamsal began his record journey at 8:30am from Ratnapark in Kathmandu on Sunday, 20 November and stopped his bike only after 25 hours at Bhajuratna Engineering and Sales Pvt Ltd, Narayanghat at 9:32 am on Monday, 21 November. Arrangements were made to ensure that the necessities such as fuel, food and water were provided to the man and his bike without disrupting the record attempt. His bike travelled along the route of Kathmandu-Narayanghat- Hetauda-Narayanghat-Butwal-Hetauda-Narayanghat.</p>
<p>
	The Honda CD Twister that travelled the distance of 957 kms without any mechanical failures to set the world record used approximately 15 litres of petrol, setting the mileage of Honda CB Twister at 63.8 kms per litre. Constable Lamsal’s successful attempt to set a world record was managed by 81e Pvt Ltd, an event management company. </p>
<p>
	The event was assisted by Nepal Police and sponsored by Syakar Company, the authorised dealer of Honda bikes in Nepal. “I am very happy and proud that I have been able to achieve my target,” said Lamsal. Mathura Shrestha of Global Records adjudicated his attempt and has judged the feat to be a new world record. &nbsp;</p>',

	The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has signed a seven-year agreement with France’s air transport communications and IT solutions specialist organisation SITA to tackle check-in queues at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu. <img align="middle" alt="sita" border="3" height="25" hspace="1" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/tia.jpg" vspace="1" width="100" /></p>
<p>
	Long queues are a consequence of the lack of airline common-use facilities at the airport, states a press release issued after the agreement was signed promising that with the introduction of SITA’s common-use platform AirportConnect Open, queues will be reduced and passenger flow through the airport will greatly improve as check-in areas can be used more efficiently.</p>
<p>
	SITA AirportConnect Open will be initially implemented at 24 check-in counters and later expanded to 36 counters, states the release. Ratish Chandra Lal Suman, General Manager of TIA, said: “We selected SITA after an extremely competitive international bidding process. This upgrade to our check-in facilities is timely as we have seen record levels of passenger traffic this year with the heavy promotion of Nepal Tourism Year 2011.” Passenger numbers are expected to grow further from now until April, the peak tourism period in Nepal. There was a real boom last year when international airlines serving the country grew their passenger volumes by over 20 per cent. </p>
<p>
	Maneesh Jaikrishna, SITA Country Director for India and Subcontinent, said: “Airlines, airports and governments have increasingly complex requirements. They need consistent passenger processing, reduced congestion and improved passenger flows.” AirportConnect Open will provide Tribhuvan International Airport with the flexibility to cope with peaks in traffic during the busiest times of the year for tourism and trade. &nbsp;</p>',

	Na t i o n a l B u s i n e s s I n i t i a t i v e (NBI) Nepal organised an interactive forum on December 1 to bring different stakeholders together to discuss non-economic barriers that plague private sector development in Nepal and to find out possible interventions for solving this problem. A challenging security environment and continuing tensions between employers and employees were the focus of the discussion between representatives of the business sector, trade unions, security providers and international agencies. </p>
<p>
	The programme was organised by NBI with support from International Alert. Padma Jyoti, President of NBI, highlighted the situation industrialists are going through of late. He introduced the programme as a platform to identify the root causes of conflict and to garner suggestions for possible solutions from the stakeholders. Manish Kumar Agrawal, Vice-Chairman of the Employers’ Council of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) pointed out the scarcity of qualified arbitrators and mediators as the major challenge and urged all parties to adopt a rather long-term perspective to achieve mutual goals. He further urged to link wages and benefits with productivity to increase incentives for high performance and establish a better working culture. Bishnu Rimal, President of the General Federation of Nepalese Trade Unions (GEFONT) and other trade union representatives urged all stakeholders to create a better understanding of joint objectives such as stability and employment creation and to build trust. </p>
<p>
	Rameshwor Prasad Khanal, Economic Advisor to the Prime Minister, pointed out the need of professionalism among employers and employees, sound working environment and transparency in doing business as the prerequisites for better industrial relations. He further stressed the need of third party interventions and mitigation to solve industrial problems. Economist Dr Chiranjibi Nepal warned that any delay in improving security situation increase the possibility of capital and business moving abroad with the consequent risk of further unemployment, frustration and conflict. &nbsp;</p>',

	Handicraft export in the first three months of fiscal year 2011/12 has increased by 31.22 per cent compared to the same period of previous fiscal year. From about three dozen handicraft products, only seven could not register a growth in exports, said Bikash Ratna Dhakhwa, President of Federation of Handicraft Association Nepal (FHAN). Dhakwa said that Rs 1.185 billion was earned from the export of these goods. This figure during the same period of fiscal year 2010/11 was Rs 903.5 million. According to Dhakwa, favourable working environment created with the improvement in political situation has led to the increase in export. “After the settlement of wage issues with labourers, industries have been able to produce and supply to meet the demand,” said Dhakwa. He also claimed that some of the credit for this increase in exports goes to the various programmes organised by FHAN for export promotion. &nbsp;</p>',

	Samsher Lamsal, a constable of Nepal Police, has set a new world record for the longest non-stop two-wheeler ride, without letting his foot touch the ground. He successfully rode a Honda CB Twister Bike for 25 hours over 957 kilometres on November 20-21. Lamsal began his record journey at 8:30am from Ratnapark in Kathmandu on Sunday, 20 November and stopped his bike only after 25 hours at Bhajuratna Engineering and Sales Pvt Ltd, Narayanghat at 9:32 am on Monday, 21 November. Arrangements were made to ensure that the necessities such as fuel, food and water were provided to the man and his bike without disrupting the record attempt. His bike travelled along the route of Kathmandu-Narayanghat- Hetauda-Narayanghat-Butwal-Hetauda-Narayanghat.</p>
<p>
	The Honda CD Twister that travelled the distance of 957 kms without any mechanical failures to set the world record used approximately 15 litres of petrol, setting the mileage of Honda CB Twister at 63.8 kms per litre. Constable Lamsal’s successful attempt to set a world record was managed by 81e Pvt Ltd, an event management company. </p>
<p>

	The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has signed a seven-year agreement with France’s air transport communications and IT solutions specialist organisation SITA to tackle check-in queues at the Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA) in Kathmandu. <img align="middle" alt="sita" border="3" height="25" hspace="1" src="http://newbusinessage.com/ckfinder/userfiles/Images/tia.jpg" vspace="1" width="100" /></p>
<p>
	Long queues are a consequence of the lack of airline common-use facilities at the airport, states a press release issued after the agreement was signed promising that with the introduction of SITA’s common-use platform AirportConnect Open, queues will be reduced and passenger flow through the airport will greatly improve as check-in areas can be used more efficiently.</p>
<p>
	SITA AirportConnect Open will be initially implemented at 24 check-in counters and later expanded to 36 counters, states the release. Ratish Chandra Lal Suman, General Manager of TIA, said: “We selected SITA after an extremely competitive international bidding process. This upgrade to our check-in facilities is timely as we have seen record levels of passenger traffic this year with the heavy promotion of Nepal Tourism Year 2011.” Passenger numbers are expected to grow further from now until April, the peak tourism period in Nepal. There was a real boom last year when international airlines serving the country grew their passenger volumes by over 20 per cent. </p>
<p>
	Maneesh Jaikrishna, SITA Country Director for India and Subcontinent, said: “Airlines, airports and governments have increasingly complex requirements. They need consistent passenger processing, reduced congestion and improved passenger flows.” AirportConnect Open will provide Tribhuvan International Airport with the flexibility to cope with peaks in traffic during the busiest times of the year for tourism and trade. &nbsp;</p>',
