<p>The SDGs are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030 AD.</p>

<p>Under the cooperation, UNDP and Chaudhary Foundation will raise awareness in the country regarding sustainable development as well as take initiative to implement the rules and regulations regarding the matter.</p>

<p>UNDP hopes that the cooperation with the foundation will help in sustainable development of small-scale to middle-scale industries to reach their aim.</p>

<p>We are glad to have Chaudhary Foundation help us in our SDGs as sustainable growth is not only the responsibility of the UN and the government but also of the private sector as well as individuals, claimed Renaud Meyer. Private sector plays a huge role to push the SDGs into action as they have abundance of tools, sources and technology required to do so, he said.</p>

<p>We are glad to help UNDP in the development plan and our team is ready to help put the plan into action, said Nirvana Chaudhary, director of Chaudhary Foundation.</p>

According to him, the first phase of program ill include promotion of the program among people of low income group through 37 institutions associated with Microfinance Bankers Association.

<p>Under this program, Microfinance Bankers Association will first give training regarding micro insurance to the people involved in this program and they will then return to their respective companies and share the knowledge to the clients.</p>

<p>The non-life insurance companies along with a British aid agency, Sakcham Access to Finance, have set up a fund of Rs 80 million for the micro insurance program. The British agency has contributed Rs 40 million while the remaining amount was raised by the insurance companies of Nepal.

The fund manager will be changed every year, informed Nepal Insurers Association&rsquo;s vice president and Prudential Insurance&rsquo;s CEO B K Maharjan.</p>

			'content' => '<p>July 14: Government authorities have started discussions about the possible use of Dhamra seaport of Orissa for third-country trade. Officials consider this seaport strategically viable than Andhra Pradesh&rsquo;s Visakhapatnam, which Nepal has just started using. Dharma Port is 503.9 kilometers near than Visakhapatnam Port. However, official talks are yet to take place.</p>

<p>According to spokesperson at the Ministry of Commerce, Ravi Shankar Sainju, Nepal&rsquo;s Ambassador to India Deep Kumar Upadhyay has asked the government to explore new avenues for third-country trade. He has given emphasis to Dhamra Port, informed Sainju.</p>

<p>&ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t started written correspondence though. We are discussing it at the ministerial level about the possibility of using the particular seaport in the future,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Indian Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan has been reportedly telling Ambassador Upadhyay that Nepal can make the best use of Dhamra Port. Pradhan represents Orissa&rsquo;s Deugadh in the Indian parliament.</p>

<p>Ambassador Upadhyay has time and again reminded officials of the ministry to consider the possible user of the seaport.</p>

<p>Nepal has been using Kolkata&rsquo;s seaport since a long time for overseas trade. Nepal has just started using Visakhapatnam seaport since June 24. Shipping companies from Visakhapatnam deliver goods directly to Birgunj Dry Port in Nepal reducing the cost factor to a great extent. However, the seaport is 1430.5 km from Nepal&rsquo;s border while Dhamra Port is 926.6 km away.</p>

<p>Dhamra Port, which came into operation in 2011, has all the facilities that Visakhapatnam has. Nepal had decided to diversify its base for third-country trade in 2009 and had considered Visakhapatnam as an alternate option since then. But it took eight years to practically implement the idea. Nepal didn&rsquo;t pay any attention to other alternative that came into existence in between the time period.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the positive feedback from the two-member ICAO team, CAAN officials are hopeful that the European Commission (EC) will remove Nepal from its blacklist soon. The EC has banned 18 Nepali airlines from flying in the European airspace since the last four years citing air safety concerns.</p>

<p>CAAN Deputy General Manager Rajan Pokharel informed that a captain and an aeronautical engineer from the ICAO recently returned back after completing a four-day audit. The team was in Nepal to study the ban imposed by the EU on Nepali airlines. However, the final report is yet to come. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Nepali airlines have not been able to conduct flights to the EU destinations because of the ban imposed by the European Commission on December 5, 2013.</p>

<p>The SDGs are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030 AD.</p>

<p>Under the cooperation, UNDP and Chaudhary Foundation will raise awareness in the country regarding sustainable development as well as take initiative to implement the rules and regulations regarding the matter.</p>

<p>UNDP hopes that the cooperation with the foundation will help in sustainable development of small-scale to middle-scale industries to reach their aim.</p>

<p>We are glad to have Chaudhary Foundation help us in our SDGs as sustainable growth is not only the responsibility of the UN and the government but also of the private sector as well as individuals, claimed Renaud Meyer. Private sector plays a huge role to push the SDGs into action as they have abundance of tools, sources and technology required to do so, he said.</p>

<p>We are glad to help UNDP in the development plan and our team is ready to help put the plan into action, said Nirvana Chaudhary, director of Chaudhary Foundation.</p>

			'content' => '<p>July 14: Government authorities have started discussions about the possible use of Dhamra seaport of Orissa for third-country trade. Officials consider this seaport strategically viable than Andhra Pradesh&rsquo;s Visakhapatnam, which Nepal has just started using. Dharma Port is 503.9 kilometers near than Visakhapatnam Port. However, official talks are yet to take place.</p>

<p>According to spokesperson at the Ministry of Commerce, Ravi Shankar Sainju, Nepal&rsquo;s Ambassador to India Deep Kumar Upadhyay has asked the government to explore new avenues for third-country trade. He has given emphasis to Dhamra Port, informed Sainju.</p>

<p>&ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t started written correspondence though. We are discussing it at the ministerial level about the possibility of using the particular seaport in the future,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Indian Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan has been reportedly telling Ambassador Upadhyay that Nepal can make the best use of Dhamra Port. Pradhan represents Orissa&rsquo;s Deugadh in the Indian parliament.</p>

<p>Ambassador Upadhyay has time and again reminded officials of the ministry to consider the possible user of the seaport.</p>

<p>Nepal has been using Kolkata&rsquo;s seaport since a long time for overseas trade. Nepal has just started using Visakhapatnam seaport since June 24. Shipping companies from Visakhapatnam deliver goods directly to Birgunj Dry Port in Nepal reducing the cost factor to a great extent. However, the seaport is 1430.5 km from Nepal&rsquo;s border while Dhamra Port is 926.6 km away.</p>

<p>Dhamra Port, which came into operation in 2011, has all the facilities that Visakhapatnam has. Nepal had decided to diversify its base for third-country trade in 2009 and had considered Visakhapatnam as an alternate option since then. But it took eight years to practically implement the idea. Nepal didn&rsquo;t pay any attention to other alternative that came into existence in between the time period.&nbsp;</p>

According to officials at the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), a team of ICAO has found Nepal&rsquo;s air safety standard satisfactory after conducting an audit to evaluate the progress achieved by Nepali airlines.</p>

<p>With the positive feedback from the two-member ICAO team, CAAN officials are hopeful that the European Commission (EC) will remove Nepal from its blacklist soon. The EC has banned 18 Nepali airlines from flying in the European airspace since the last four years citing air safety concerns.</p>

<p>CAAN Deputy General Manager Rajan Pokharel informed that a captain and an aeronautical engineer from the ICAO recently returned back after completing a four-day audit. The team was in Nepal to study the ban imposed by the EU on Nepali airlines. However, the final report is yet to come. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Nepali airlines have not been able to conduct flights to the EU destinations because of the ban imposed by the European Commission on December 5, 2013.</p>

<p>The Nepali airlines that fall in the blacklist are Nepal Airlines Corporation, Buddha Air, Yeti Airlines, Fishtail Air, Goma Air, Himalayan Airlines, Air Dynasty, Air Kasthamandap, Makalu Air, Manang Air, Mountain Helicopters, Muktinath Air, Saurya Airlines, Shree Airlines, Simrik Air, Sita Air and Tara Air.</p>

<p>Besides Nepal, the European Union has also banned airlines of Afghanistan, Congo, Angola, Indonesia, Liberia, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Iran and Iraq.</p>

<p>During the recent visit, ICAO studied four aspects including legal, organizational, operational and air worthiness and found all the aspects satisfactory, according to CAAN Deputy Managing Director and Spokesperson Birendra Prasad Shrestha. The team will submit the report to ICAO headquarters first and then only the ICAO will inform about the report to the CAAN, said Shrestha.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&quot;The awards were solely given on the basis of the creativity of the advertisement agencies for the particular advertisement in the given period rather than any other elements of the advertisement agencies including their reputation,&quot; said jury member Abhaya Pandey.</p>

<p>He added that the advertisements made in Nepal were given special attention for the awards.</p>

<p>The award function started with an interaction about &#39;Novelty, Emotion, Women and Sex in Advertising&#39; and the effects of advertisement in human mind.&nbsp; Sandesh Dhakal, professor at TU and an expert on Darwin&rsquo;s philosophy, was the key speaker while industry analyst Abhaya Pandey was the moderator for the programme. The audiences who were from business, advertisement and media fraternity enjoyed the discussion about the psychology of the consumers and factors that attract the consumers towards the advertisement of the brand. The discussion was focused on novelty, emotion, women and sex in advertisement and their impacts on consumers. &nbsp;AAN President Shrestha shared that the professionals in advertising agencies learned many new things and also gained knowledge about Darwinian perspective on advertisement through the discussion.&nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>July 16: Non-life insurance companies are preparing to start micro insurance program across the nation in collaboration with microfinance companies from mid-July. All 17 non-life insurance companies of Nepal have been providing micro insurance service separately. Now, they have decided to work hand-in-hand with the Microfinance Bankers Association and Nepal Insurers Association to make the program more effective. The program focuses on encouraging people of low income group to purchase insurance policy at a low premium rate.</p>

<p>Nepal Insurers Association&rsquo;s Executive Director Dron Acharya informed that final preparations have been completed to start the program from mid-July. According to him, the first phase of program ill include promotion of the program among people of low income group through 37 institutions associated with Microfinance Bankers Association. The service can be expanded in the second phase to other microfinance companies which are not affiliated to the association, if they show interest. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Under this program, Microfinance Bankers Association will first give training regarding micro insurance to the people involved in this program and they will then return to their respective companies and share the knowledge to the clients.</p>

<p>The non-life insurance companies along with a British aid agency, Sakcham Access to Finance, have set up a fund of Rs 80 million for the micro insurance program. The British agency has contributed Rs 40 million while the remaining amount was raised by the insurance companies of Nepal. The stakeholders have agreed to appoint Prudential Insurance Company as the manager of the fund for the first fiscal year of the programme. The fund manager will be changed every year, informed Nepal Insurers Association&rsquo;s vice president and Prudential Insurance&rsquo;s CEO B K Maharjan.</p>

			'content' => '<p>July 14: Government authorities have started discussions about the possible use of Dhamra seaport of Orissa for third-country trade. Officials consider this seaport strategically viable than Andhra Pradesh&rsquo;s Visakhapatnam, which Nepal has just started using. Dharma Port is 503.9 kilometers near than Visakhapatnam Port. However, official talks are yet to take place.</p>

<p>According to spokesperson at the Ministry of Commerce, Ravi Shankar Sainju, Nepal&rsquo;s Ambassador to India Deep Kumar Upadhyay has asked the government to explore new avenues for third-country trade. He has given emphasis to Dhamra Port, informed Sainju.</p>

<p>&ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t started written correspondence though. We are discussing it at the ministerial level about the possibility of using the particular seaport in the future,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Indian Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan has been reportedly telling Ambassador Upadhyay that Nepal can make the best use of Dhamra Port. Pradhan represents Orissa&rsquo;s Deugadh in the Indian parliament.</p>

<p>Ambassador Upadhyay has time and again reminded officials of the ministry to consider the possible user of the seaport.</p>

<p>Nepal has been using Kolkata&rsquo;s seaport since a long time for overseas trade. Nepal has just started using Visakhapatnam seaport since June 24. Shipping companies from Visakhapatnam deliver goods directly to Birgunj Dry Port in Nepal reducing the cost factor to a great extent. However, the seaport is 1430.5 km from Nepal&rsquo;s border while Dhamra Port is 926.6 km away.</p>

<p>Dhamra Port, which came into operation in 2011, has all the facilities that Visakhapatnam has. Nepal had decided to diversify its base for third-country trade in 2009 and had considered Visakhapatnam as an alternate option since then. But it took eight years to practically implement the idea. Nepal didn&rsquo;t pay any attention to other alternative that came into existence in between the time period.&nbsp;</p>

According to officials at the Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN), a team of ICAO has found Nepal&rsquo;s air safety standard satisfactory after conducting an audit to evaluate the progress achieved by Nepali airlines.</p>

<p>With the positive feedback from the two-member ICAO team, CAAN officials are hopeful that the European Commission (EC) will remove Nepal from its blacklist soon. The EC has banned 18 Nepali airlines from flying in the European airspace since the last four years citing air safety concerns.</p>

<p>CAAN Deputy General Manager Rajan Pokharel informed that a captain and an aeronautical engineer from the ICAO recently returned back after completing a four-day audit. The team was in Nepal to study the ban imposed by the EU on Nepali airlines. However, the final report is yet to come. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Nepali airlines have not been able to conduct flights to the EU destinations because of the ban imposed by the European Commission on December 5, 2013.</p>

<p>The Nepali airlines that fall in the blacklist are Nepal Airlines Corporation, Buddha Air, Yeti Airlines, Fishtail Air, Goma Air, Himalayan Airlines, Air Dynasty, Air Kasthamandap, Makalu Air, Manang Air, Mountain Helicopters, Muktinath Air, Saurya Airlines, Shree Airlines, Simrik Air, Sita Air and Tara Air.</p>

<p>Besides Nepal, the European Union has also banned airlines of Afghanistan, Congo, Angola, Indonesia, Liberia, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Iran and Iraq.</p>

<p>During the recent visit, ICAO studied four aspects including legal, organizational, operational and air worthiness and found all the aspects satisfactory, according to CAAN Deputy Managing Director and Spokesperson Birendra Prasad Shrestha. The team will submit the report to ICAO headquarters first and then only the ICAO will inform about the report to the CAAN, said Shrestha.&nbsp;</p>

All 17 non-life insurance companies of Nepal have been providing micro insurance service separately. Now, they have decided to work hand-in-hand with the Microfinance Bankers Association and Nepal Insurers Association to make the program more effective. The program focuses on encouraging people of low income group to purchase insurance policy at a low premium rate.</p>

<p>Nepal Insurers Association&rsquo;s Executive Director Dron Acharya informed that final preparations have been completed to start the program from mid-July. According to him, the first phase of program ill include promotion of the program among people of low income group through 37 institutions associated with Microfinance Bankers Association. The service can be expanded in the second phase to other microfinance companies which are not affiliated to the association, if they show interest. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Under this program, Microfinance Bankers Association will first give training regarding micro insurance to the people involved in this program and they will then return to their respective companies and share the knowledge to the clients.</p>

<p>The non-life insurance companies along with a British aid agency, Sakcham Access to Finance, have set up a fund of Rs 80 million for the micro insurance program. The British agency has contributed Rs 40 million while the remaining amount was raised by the insurance companies of Nepal. The stakeholders have agreed to appoint Prudential Insurance Company as the manager of the fund for the first fiscal year of the programme. The fund manager will be changed every year, informed Nepal Insurers Association&rsquo;s vice president and Prudential Insurance&rsquo;s CEO B K Maharjan.</p>

			'content' => '<p>July 14: Government authorities have started discussions about the possible use of Dhamra seaport of Orissa for third-country trade. Officials consider this seaport strategically viable than Andhra Pradesh&rsquo;s Visakhapatnam, which Nepal has just started using. Dharma Port is 503.9 kilometers near than Visakhapatnam Port. However, official talks are yet to take place.</p>

<p>According to spokesperson at the Ministry of Commerce, Ravi Shankar Sainju, Nepal&rsquo;s Ambassador to India Deep Kumar Upadhyay has asked the government to explore new avenues for third-country trade. He has given emphasis to Dhamra Port, informed Sainju.</p>

<p>&ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t started written correspondence though. We are discussing it at the ministerial level about the possibility of using the particular seaport in the future,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Indian Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan has been reportedly telling Ambassador Upadhyay that Nepal can make the best use of Dhamra Port. Pradhan represents Orissa&rsquo;s Deugadh in the Indian parliament.</p>

<p>Ambassador Upadhyay has time and again reminded officials of the ministry to consider the possible user of the seaport.</p>

<p>Nepal has been using Kolkata&rsquo;s seaport since a long time for overseas trade. Nepal has just started using Visakhapatnam seaport since June 24. Shipping companies from Visakhapatnam deliver goods directly to Birgunj Dry Port in Nepal reducing the cost factor to a great extent. However, the seaport is 1430.5 km from Nepal&rsquo;s border while Dhamra Port is 926.6 km away.</p>

<p>Dhamra Port, which came into operation in 2011, has all the facilities that Visakhapatnam has. Nepal had decided to diversify its base for third-country trade in 2009 and had considered Visakhapatnam as an alternate option since then. But it took eight years to practically implement the idea. Nepal didn&rsquo;t pay any attention to other alternative that came into existence in between the time period.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the positive feedback from the two-member ICAO team, CAAN officials are hopeful that the European Commission (EC) will remove Nepal from its blacklist soon. The EC has banned 18 Nepali airlines from flying in the European airspace since the last four years citing air safety concerns.</p>

<p>CAAN Deputy General Manager Rajan Pokharel informed that a captain and an aeronautical engineer from the ICAO recently returned back after completing a four-day audit. The team was in Nepal to study the ban imposed by the EU on Nepali airlines. However, the final report is yet to come. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Nepali airlines have not been able to conduct flights to the EU destinations because of the ban imposed by the European Commission on December 5, 2013.</p>

<p>The Nepali airlines that fall in the blacklist are Nepal Airlines Corporation, Buddha Air, Yeti Airlines, Fishtail Air, Goma Air, Himalayan Airlines, Air Dynasty, Air Kasthamandap, Makalu Air, Manang Air, Mountain Helicopters, Muktinath Air, Saurya Airlines, Shree Airlines, Simrik Air, Sita Air and Tara Air.</p>

<p>Besides Nepal, the European Union has also banned airlines of Afghanistan, Congo, Angola, Indonesia, Liberia, Mozambique, Sierra Leone, Iran and Iraq.</p>

<p>During the recent visit, ICAO studied four aspects including legal, organizational, operational and air worthiness and found all the aspects satisfactory, according to CAAN Deputy Managing Director and Spokesperson Birendra Prasad Shrestha. The team will submit the report to ICAO headquarters first and then only the ICAO will inform about the report to the CAAN, said Shrestha.&nbsp;</p>
