<strong>Nepal In The Grip Of Electricity Crisis<br />
</strong><br />
Nepal saw the last electricity crisis of the last millennium in 1999 and with the commissioning of Khimti project in 2000, there was no load shedding through till 2005. Earlier, NEA used to ascribe load shedding to “no water in rivers.” However, since the last wet season, Nepal had to suffer from load shedding even while she had to struggle with the “flood” problem. With no electricity for 16 hours a day, the last dry season was the worst so far. <br />
<br />
Although the concerned ministry claims that the ongoing power shortage will come to an end by 2017 as mentioned in the New Business Age – Biz News section in the July issue, the load shedding will not vanish just as yet. If projects, god forbid, do not materialise as envisaged, a time will come when people will start talking about the time electricity will be available (like water in the taps), rather than when electricity will not be available. A part of the load-shedding problem can be attributed to construction delays. The load shedding is not happening because the decision makers are unable to figure out what will be the demand for the years to come or such data is not available to them. If the status quo is to continue, Nepal will be condemned to have it as a standard phenomenon. It is because correct decisions with regard to policy as well as with regard to the start dates of implementation of specific projects to augment generation capacity – are not taken at appropriate time. The need of the hour is to have a paradigm shift in this regard. <br />

<strong>Nepali Aviation Ind ustry </strong><br />
<br />
<em>The July issue of New Business Age saw much effort in the cover story. </em>I am a regular reader of your magazine and I really liked how you highlighted Nepal’s air service business in recent times. There was a nice coverage about domestic airliners in your March issue as the cover story. You have done an incredibly fine job in this issue too. International airlines are growing in Nepal because they find huge potential in the Nepali market. However, I doubt the business of international airlines having smooth continuation since there are more airlines to come in the Nepali sky and the competition is going to grow further. <br />
<br />
If only the airlines could focus on bringing more tourists and develop a sustainable market here rather than depend only on the labour market. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has a lot more to do in the future for upgrading domestic and international air service in Nepal. Establishing an international airport in Nijgadh is not enough. CAAN must have big plans for long term development of civil aviation sector in Nepal. <br />
<br />
The development of air service in Nepal is not possible if CAAN only manages to make Nijgadh another Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). The condition of Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) as described in the story is pitiful. The purchase of new aircrafts in NAC has always been full of controversies. If NAC too follows the business strategies as carried out by other international airlines, it can bring back its glory of yesteryears. <br />

<strong> Mustang Madness <br />
</strong><br />
The whole of Nepal is waiting eagerly for the new PM with new hopes and aspirations but who benefits? It’s not the people for sure. It’s the smart industrialists who play their cards well enough to give their vehicles like Mustang, the biggest publicity it could ever hope to get. Within two days, the sale of Mustang skyrocketed to clear all vehicles they were holding in stock Advertising has always been a big industry in Nepal and now this new publicity stunt throws a totally different spin to the game. According to observers, Mustang is a reasonably cheap car at Rs 1.7 million. Some observers have noted that since it is manufactured in the country, its price should be lower since they don’t have to pay a hefty tax similar to the imported vehicles. The purchase of the vehicle in question has not been determined. It could very well have been a gift by the industrialist. <br />

<strong>Hiding the Cover Page <br />
</strong><br />
Although the magazine is worthy in its content, it must look good when it comes out in the market. I found your August 2012 issue rich in content but there is something which I must share with you. The design of the cover was okay but there were too many words almost covering the whole magazine. It would have looked better if the font size of the highlights were made a little smaller. I also did not like the dark blue colour in your cover. It is unclear whether the cover picture has kept the background image of the cloud or the mountains. What I liked is the front page which has made the magazine at par with international standards. It looked as if you were not putting efforts on designing the cover page but instead hiding it under the attractive cover of the advertisement. <br />

Mr Kanishka Dasgupta, the Country Manager of FICCI for Nepal, informed that he was never associated with Microsoft Corporation as mentioned in the July 2012 issue of New Business Age under the ‘Corporate Movements’ section. He also said that before his current position at FICCI, he was with G&D Communication (Feb 2010-May 2012). <br />

Nepal saw the last electricity crisis of the last millennium in 1999 and with the commissioning of Khimti project in 2000, there was no load shedding through till 2005. Earlier, NEA used to ascribe load shedding to “no water in rivers.” However, since the last wet season, Nepal had to suffer from load shedding even while she had to struggle with the “flood” problem. With no electricity for 16 hours a day, the last dry season was the worst so far. <br />
<br />
Although the concerned ministry claims that the ongoing power shortage will come to an end by 2017 as mentioned in the New Business Age – Biz News section in the July issue, the load shedding will not vanish just as yet. If projects, god forbid, do not materialise as envisaged, a time will come when people will start talking about the time electricity will be available (like water in the taps), rather than when electricity will not be available. A part of the load-shedding problem can be attributed to construction delays. The load shedding is not happening because the decision makers are unable to figure out what will be the demand for the years to come or such data is not available to them. If the status quo is to continue, Nepal will be condemned to have it as a standard phenomenon. It is because correct decisions with regard to policy as well as with regard to the start dates of implementation of specific projects to augment generation capacity – are not taken at appropriate time. The need of the hour is to have a paradigm shift in this regard. <br />

<strong>Nepali Aviation Ind ustry </strong><br />
<br />
<em>The July issue of New Business Age saw much effort in the cover story. </em>I am a regular reader of your magazine and I really liked how you highlighted Nepal’s air service business in recent times. There was a nice coverage about domestic airliners in your March issue as the cover story. You have done an incredibly fine job in this issue too. International airlines are growing in Nepal because they find huge potential in the Nepali market. However, I doubt the business of international airlines having smooth continuation since there are more airlines to come in the Nepali sky and the competition is going to grow further. <br />
<br />
If only the airlines could focus on bringing more tourists and develop a sustainable market here rather than depend only on the labour market. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has a lot more to do in the future for upgrading domestic and international air service in Nepal. Establishing an international airport in Nijgadh is not enough. CAAN must have big plans for long term development of civil aviation sector in Nepal. <br />
<br />
The development of air service in Nepal is not possible if CAAN only manages to make Nijgadh another Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). The condition of Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) as described in the story is pitiful. The purchase of new aircrafts in NAC has always been full of controversies. If NAC too follows the business strategies as carried out by other international airlines, it can bring back its glory of yesteryears. <br />

<strong> Mustang Madness <br />
</strong><br />
The whole of Nepal is waiting eagerly for the new PM with new hopes and aspirations but who benefits? It’s not the people for sure. It’s the smart industrialists who play their cards well enough to give their vehicles like Mustang, the biggest publicity it could ever hope to get. Within two days, the sale of Mustang skyrocketed to clear all vehicles they were holding in stock Advertising has always been a big industry in Nepal and now this new publicity stunt throws a totally different spin to the game. According to observers, Mustang is a reasonably cheap car at Rs 1.7 million. Some observers have noted that since it is manufactured in the country, its price should be lower since they don’t have to pay a hefty tax similar to the imported vehicles. The purchase of the vehicle in question has not been determined. It could very well have been a gift by the industrialist. <br />

<strong>Hiding the Cover Page <br />
</strong><br />
Although the magazine is worthy in its content, it must look good when it comes out in the market. I found your August 2012 issue rich in content but there is something which I must share with you. The design of the cover was okay but there were too many words almost covering the whole magazine. It would have looked better if the font size of the highlights were made a little smaller. I also did not like the dark blue colour in your cover. It is unclear whether the cover picture has kept the background image of the cloud or the mountains. What I liked is the front page which has made the magazine at par with international standards. It looked as if you were not putting efforts on designing the cover page but instead hiding it under the attractive cover of the advertisement. <br />

Mr Kanishka Dasgupta, the Country Manager of FICCI for Nepal, informed that he was never associated with Microsoft Corporation as mentioned in the July 2012 issue of New Business Age under the ‘Corporate Movements’ section. He also said that before his current position at FICCI, he was with G&D Communication (Feb 2010-May 2012). <br />

A part of the load-shedding problem can be attributed to construction delays. The load shedding is not happening because the decision makers are unable to figure out what will be the demand for the years to come or such data is not available to them. If the status quo is to continue, Nepal will be condemned to have it as a standard phenomenon. It is because correct decisions with regard to policy as well as with regard to the start dates of implementation of specific projects to augment generation capacity – are not taken at appropriate time. The need of the hour is to have a paradigm shift in this regard.
The July issue of New Business Age saw much effort in the cover story. I am a regular reader of your magazine and I really liked how you highlighted Nepal’s air service business in recent times. There was a nice coverage about domestic airliners in your March issue as the cover story. You have done an incredibly fine job in this issue too. International airlines are growing in Nepal because they find huge potential in the Nepali market. However, I doubt the business of international airlines having smooth continuation since there are more airlines to come in the Nepali sky and the competition is going to grow further.
If only the airlines could focus on bringing more tourists and develop a sustainable market here rather than depend only on the labour market. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has a lot more to do in the future for upgrading domestic and international air service in Nepal. Establishing an international airport in Nijgadh is not enough. CAAN must have big plans for long term development of civil aviation sector in Nepal.
The development of air service in Nepal is not possible if CAAN only manages to make Nijgadh another Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). The condition of Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) as described in the story is pitiful. The purchase of new aircrafts in NAC has always been full of controversies. If NAC too follows the business strategies as carried out by other international airlines, it can bring back its glory of yesteryears.
The whole of Nepal is waiting eagerly for the new PM with new hopes and aspirations but who benefits? It’s not the people for sure. It’s the smart industrialists who play their cards well enough to give their vehicles like Mustang, the biggest publicity it could ever hope to get. Within two days, the sale of Mustang skyrocketed to clear all vehicles they were holding in stock Advertising has always been a big industry in Nepal and now this new publicity stunt throws a totally different spin to the game. According to observers, Mustang is a reasonably cheap car at Rs 1.7 million. Some observers have noted that since it is manufactured in the country, its price should be lower since they don’t have to pay a hefty tax similar to the imported vehicles. The purchase of the vehicle in question has not been determined. It could very well have been a gift by the industrialist. Sundar Gorkhali, Kapan, Kathmandu
Although the magazine is worthy in its content, it must look good when it comes out in the market. I found your August 2012 issue rich in content but there is something which I must share with you. The design of the cover was okay but there were too many words almost covering the whole magazine. It would have looked better if the font size of the highlights were made a little smaller. I also did not like the dark blue colour in your cover. It is unclear whether the cover picture has kept the background image of the cloud or the mountains. What I liked is the front page which has made the magazine at par with international standards. It looked as if you were not putting efforts on designing the cover page but instead hiding it under the attractive cover of the advertisement.
Mr Kanishka Dasgupta, the Country Manager of FICCI for Nepal, informed that he was never associated with Microsoft Corporation as mentioned in the July 2012 issue of New Business Age under the ‘Corporate Movements’ section. He also said that before his current position at FICCI, he was with G&D Communication (Feb 2010-May 2012). The error is regretted

<strong>Nepal In The Grip Of Electricity Crisis<br />
</strong><br />
Nepal saw the last electricity crisis of the last millennium in 1999 and with the commissioning of Khimti project in 2000, there was no load shedding through till 2005. Earlier, NEA used to ascribe load shedding to “no water in rivers.” However, since the last wet season, Nepal had to suffer from load shedding even while she had to struggle with the “flood” problem. With no electricity for 16 hours a day, the last dry season was the worst so far. <br />
<br />
Although the concerned ministry claims that the ongoing power shortage will come to an end by 2017 as mentioned in the New Business Age – Biz News section in the July issue, the load shedding will not vanish just as yet. If projects, god forbid, do not materialise as envisaged, a time will come when people will start talking about the time electricity will be available (like water in the taps), rather than when electricity will not be available.

What I liked is the front page which has made the magazine at par with international standards. It looked as if you were not putting efforts on designing the cover page but instead hiding it under the attractive cover of the advertisement. <br />

<strong>Nepal In The Grip Of Electricity Crisis<br />
</strong><br />
Nepal saw the last electricity crisis of the last millennium in 1999 and with the commissioning of Khimti project in 2000, there was no load shedding through till 2005. Earlier, NEA used to ascribe load shedding to “no water in rivers.” However, since the last wet season, Nepal had to suffer from load shedding even while she had to struggle with the “flood” problem. With no electricity for 16 hours a day, the last dry season was the worst so far. <br />
<br />
Although the concerned ministry claims that the ongoing power shortage will come to an end by 2017 as mentioned in the New Business Age – Biz News section in the July issue, the load shedding will not vanish just as yet. If projects, god forbid, do not materialise as envisaged, a time will come when people will start talking about the time electricity will be available (like water in the taps), rather than when electricity will not be available. A part of the load-shedding problem can be attributed to construction delays. The load shedding is not happening because the decision makers are unable to figure out what will be the demand for the years to come or such data is not available to them. If the status quo is to continue, Nepal will be condemned to have it as a standard phenomenon. It is because correct decisions with regard to policy as well as with regard to the start dates of implementation of specific projects to augment generation capacity – are not taken at appropriate time. The need of the hour is to have a paradigm shift in this regard. <br />

<em>The July issue of New Business Age saw much effort in the cover story. </em>I am a regular reader of your magazine and I really liked how you highlighted Nepal’s air service business in recent times. There was a nice coverage about domestic airliners in your March issue as the cover story. You have done an incredibly fine job in this issue too. International airlines are growing in Nepal because they find huge potential in the Nepali market. However, I doubt the business of international airlines having smooth continuation since there are more airlines to come in the Nepali sky and the competition is going to grow further. <br />
<br />
If only the airlines could focus on bringing more tourists and develop a sustainable market here rather than depend only on the labour market. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has a lot more to do in the future for upgrading domestic and international air service in Nepal. Establishing an international airport in Nijgadh is not enough. CAAN must have big plans for long term development of civil aviation sector in Nepal. <br />
<br />
The development of air service in Nepal is not possible if CAAN only manages to make Nijgadh another Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). The condition of Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) as described in the story is pitiful. The purchase of new aircrafts in NAC has always been full of controversies. If NAC too follows the business strategies as carried out by other international airlines, it can bring back its glory of yesteryears. <br />

<strong> Mustang Madness <br />
</strong><br />
The whole of Nepal is waiting eagerly for the new PM with new hopes and aspirations but who benefits? It’s not the people for sure. It’s the smart industrialists who play their cards well enough to give their vehicles like Mustang, the biggest publicity it could ever hope to get. Within two days, the sale of Mustang skyrocketed to clear all vehicles they were holding in stock Advertising has always been a big industry in Nepal and now this new publicity stunt throws a totally different spin to the game. According to observers, Mustang is a reasonably cheap car at Rs 1.7 million. Some observers have noted that since it is manufactured in the country, its price should be lower since they don’t have to pay a hefty tax similar to the imported vehicles. The purchase of the vehicle in question has not been determined. It could very well have been a gift by the industrialist. <br />

<strong>Nepal In The Grip Of Electricity Crisis<br />
</strong><br />
Nepal saw the last electricity crisis of the last millennium in 1999 and with the commissioning of Khimti project in 2000, there was no load shedding through till 2005. Earlier, NEA used to ascribe load shedding to “no water in rivers.” However, since the last wet season, Nepal had to suffer from load shedding even while she had to struggle with the “flood” problem. With no electricity for 16 hours a day, the last dry season was the worst so far. <br />
<br />
Although the concerned ministry claims that the ongoing power shortage will come to an end by 2017 as mentioned in the New Business Age – Biz News section in the July issue, the load shedding will not vanish just as yet. If projects, god forbid, do not materialise as envisaged, a time will come when people will start talking about the time electricity will be available (like water in the taps), rather than when electricity will not be available. A part of the load-shedding problem can be attributed to construction delays. The load shedding is not happening because the decision makers are unable to figure out what will be the demand for the years to come or such data is not available to them. If the status quo is to continue, Nepal will be condemned to have it as a standard phenomenon. It is because correct decisions with regard to policy as well as with regard to the start dates of implementation of specific projects to augment generation capacity – are not taken at appropriate time. The need of the hour is to have a paradigm shift in this regard. <br />

<strong>Nepali Aviation Ind ustry </strong><br />
<br />
<em>The July issue of New Business Age saw much effort in the cover story. </em>I am a regular reader of your magazine and I really liked how you highlighted Nepal’s air service business in recent times. There was a nice coverage about domestic airliners in your March issue as the cover story. You have done an incredibly fine job in this issue too. International airlines are growing in Nepal because they find huge potential in the Nepali market. However, I doubt the business of international airlines having smooth continuation since there are more airlines to come in the Nepali sky and the competition is going to grow further. <br />
<br />
If only the airlines could focus on bringing more tourists and develop a sustainable market here rather than depend only on the labour market. The Civil Aviation Authority of Nepal (CAAN) has a lot more to do in the future for upgrading domestic and international air service in Nepal. Establishing an international airport in Nijgadh is not enough. CAAN must have big plans for long term development of civil aviation sector in Nepal. <br />
<br />
The development of air service in Nepal is not possible if CAAN only manages to make Nijgadh another Tribhuvan International Airport (TIA). The condition of Nepal Airlines Corporation (NAC) as described in the story is pitiful. The purchase of new aircrafts in NAC has always been full of controversies. If NAC too follows the business strategies as carried out by other international airlines, it can bring back its glory of yesteryears. <br />

<strong> Mustang Madness <br />
</strong><br />
The whole of Nepal is waiting eagerly for the new PM with new hopes and aspirations but who benefits? It’s not the people for sure. It’s the smart industrialists who play their cards well enough to give their vehicles like Mustang, the biggest publicity it could ever hope to get. Within two days, the sale of Mustang skyrocketed to clear all vehicles they were holding in stock Advertising has always been a big industry in Nepal and now this new publicity stunt throws a totally different spin to the game. According to observers, Mustang is a reasonably cheap car at Rs 1.7 million. Some observers have noted that since it is manufactured in the country, its price should be lower since they don’t have to pay a hefty tax similar to the imported vehicles. The purchase of the vehicle in question has not been determined. It could very well have been a gift by the industrialist. <br />

<strong>Hiding the Cover Page <br />
</strong><br />
Although the magazine is worthy in its content, it must look good when it comes out in the market. I found your August 2012 issue rich in content but there is something which I must share with you. The design of the cover was okay but there were too many words almost covering the whole magazine. It would have looked better if the font size of the highlights were made a little smaller. I also did not like the dark blue colour in your cover. It is unclear whether the cover picture has kept the background image of the cloud or the mountains. What I liked is the front page which has made the magazine at par with international standards. It looked as if you were not putting efforts on designing the cover page but instead hiding it under the attractive cover of the advertisement. <br />
