Factors influencing credit accessibility and smes performance in nepal
(2024) Khanal, Sambridhi; Raghu Bir Bista
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are pivotal to Nepal's economy, driving economic growth and job creation. However, they frequently encounter challenges in accessing credit, which limits their ability to expand and develop. This study investigates the factors influencing credit accessibility and SME performance in the
Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The objective was to analyse how collateral security (CS), presence of lending institutions (PLI), literacy levels among SME owners (LL), and interest rates charged (IRC) impact credit accessibility and subsequently influence SME performance. Data was collected through a semi-structured questionnaire administered to 300 SMEs in the region. Correlation and regression analyses were employed to
examine the relationships between these variables. The findings highlight that CS significantly enhances credit accessibility (CA) for SMEs in Kathmandu Valley, emphasizing the importance of robust collateral for securing credit. Conversely, PLI did not show a statistically significant impact on CA, suggesting limitations in institutional support for credit access. LL among SME owners exhibited a marginally significant positive effect on CA, indicating that higher literacy levels could facilitate better credit access strategies. IRC demonstrated a strong positive association with CA, implying that higher interest rates are linked to greater credit accessibility for SMEs in the region. The study concludes that improving collateral security mechanisms and enhancing financial literacy among SME owners are critical steps to enhance credit accessibility in Kathmandu Valley. Policies aimed at reducing interest rates or providing subsidized credit could further improve SMEs' ability to access affordable financing. Strengthening the presence and effectiveness of lending institutions through targeted support and regulatory reforms is essential for fostering a conducive environment for SME growth and development. These findings underscore the importance of tailored policy interventions and institutional support in enhancing SME resilience and economic contributions in Nepal.

English Teachers' Roles from the Perspective of the Bhagavad Gita
(2024) Yadav, Dharbendra Kumar; Renu Kumari Singh
he present thesis entitled English Teachers' Roles from the Perspective of the
Bhagavad Gita, was conducted to examine the roles of teachers as specified in the Bhagavad
Gita and draw out pedagogical implications of the Bhagavad Gita in relation to English
language teaching. To carry out this study, I adopted discourse analysis (DA) using a
qualitative research approach. Only secondary data sources were used in this study. Thirtyfive shlokas
from Bhagavad Gita were selected as the sample for the study using a nonrandompurposive sampling
procedure.To collect data, observations were used as a tool, and reading, re-reading, underlining,
and picking up the shlokas of Bhagavad Gita were used as data collection procedures.
The obtained data were analyzed and interpreted systematically using a thematic approach based
on Fairclough's model of discourse analysis (DA).The findings of the study showed that the roles
of teachers as specified in the Bhagavad Gita are inculcating holistic approach to a problem,
sthitaprajna, samatva yogi, swadharmi, lokasamgrahi, be a knowledge provider,illuminator,
simplifier, motivator,choice provider,encouragement for query,a guide and role model.
Additionally,it has been found that methods of teaching are conversational,question-answer,
demonstration, contemporary methods(rational analysis with proper analysis), and
learning-by-doing,and teaching strategies are guru-disciple relationship (good rapport
building),experiential learning, storytelling and metaphors, dialogue and discussion,
and self-reflection and self-discovery which can be implemented for English teacher
professional development.
