Artificial intelligence and border security in nepal
(2023) Gaire, Shiva Prasad; Naresh Rimal
Integrating AI-powered technologies possesses immense potential to fortify and reinforce Nepal's border security apparatus, elevating it to new heights. This study meticulously explores the boundless possibilities of harnessing AI to bolster Nepal's border security while diligently examining both its advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, it goes beyond mere exploration, presenting ingenious and effective strategies to mitigate risks and ensure the responsible and ethical implementation of AI technologies in Nepal's border security operations. The research employed thematic and SWOT analyses to evaluate the potential and challenges of AI in Nepal's border security. Thematic analysis was utilized to analyzed primary data, and a SWOT analysis precisely appraises the implementation of AI in Nepal's border security. Through interviews, self-observations, and meticulous data analysis, this study offers a profound assessment of the current state of border security in Nepal, unlocking the immense potential of AI to augment its effectiveness. The study shows that the implementation of AI-powered surveillance technology emerges as an exceptionally promising solution, equipping Nepal with intelligent surveillance, predictive analytics, automated border control, risk assessment, and cutting-edge drone surveillance capabilities. By leveraging AI's capabilities, Nepal can reinforce its ability to identify potential threats swiftly, make informed decisions, and staunchly safeguard the safety and security of its borders. By harnessing these remarkable AI capabilities, the APF can elevate its mandate of border security to unprecedented levels, effectively countering border crimes and mitigating associated risks. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive awareness campaigns, formulating standardized policies, robust cybersecurity measures, capacity building in the APF, Nepal, and substantial investments in digital infrastructure. These essential measures will lay the foundation for the seamless integration of AI-powered technologies into Nepal's border security. Keywords: artificial intelligence, border security, privacy, drone surveillance, intelligent surveillance

Mountain development and climate change in nepal; A case study of Thini ( Gharpajhong rural municipality )
(2023) Khanal, Shankar; Ramesh Raj Kunwar
Climate change is a change in the state of the climate that can be identified by changes in the mean and / or the variability of its properties, and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer. Mountain development is the process of improving the lives and study investigates the impact of climate change and mountain development with a specific focus on the Thini village, Gharpajhong Rural Municipality, Mustang. The research methodology employed a concurrent triangulation approach, combining quantitative and qualitative methods through household surveys, Key Informant Interviews (KII), Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and observations in Thini Village, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources, and presenting the findings through a narrative approach. The findings reveal that climate change has resulted in habitat disruption, altered weather patterns, and changes in traditional ways of life in the Thini village. These environmental changes have far-reaching implications, including the depletion of decline in snow fall, reduced agricultural productivity, and increased vulnerability of human settlements to natural disasters. While at the same time mountain development has provided people with various opportunities for their livelihoods. To address these challenges, the study recommends the adoption of sustainable resource management practices, such as responsible land use planning, water management, and forestry practices. This study emphasizes the importance of collaborative efforts at local, national, and international levels to mitigate climate change impacts in mountainous regions. By implementing the recommended strategies, policymakers, communities, and stakeholders can work together to protect the environment, ensure the well being of local communities, and promote sustainable development. Keywords: climate change, mountainous regions, environmental impacts, mountain development
