(2024) Thapa, Alina; Maya Timsina
Corruption remains a critical challenge in many developing countries, including Nepal,impacting governance and development. This study explores the anti-corruption-initiatives at the local level in Dakshinkali Municipality, examining their effectiveness and the community's perception. The main objectives are to investigate the causes and forms of corruption, evaluate the effectiveness of anti-corruption strategies, and asses show these strategies have influenced the trend of corruption in Dakshinkali Municipality.The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys with
qualitative interviews. A total of 370 respondents from different wards in Dakshinkali Municipality were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
The results reveal that 33.11% of respondents are slightly familiar with anti-corruption strategies, while 30.46% reported witnessing nepotism as the most common form of corruption. Additionally, 49.67% believe the local government is sometimes transparent and 29.14% have a neutral stance on the effectiveness of the anti-corruption initiatives.Furthermore, 33.11% of respondents believe that corruption occurs often in their local government. The study concludes that while there is moderate awareness of anti corruption
strategies, significant gaps in transparency and accountability remain. The
most prevalent forms of corruption are nepotism and misuse of public funds. The
effectiveness of anti-corruption measures is perceived variably, highlighting the need for enhanced transparency, stronger legal enforcement, and comprehensive public education.
The findings suggest that local governments should focus on increasing community engagement, improving transparency measures, and implementing robust anti-corruption-training programs. Enhancing digital technologies and ensuring adequate compensation
for employees are also recommended to reduce corruption.

Pracitces of institutional meal in armed policy force, nepal
(2023) Karmacharya, Sachin; Ramesh Raj Kunwar
Institutional meal in Nepal has a long-standing history, dating back to the early 1900s when Prithvi Narayan Shah introduced ration cards for soldiers. The Armed Police Force (APF), Nepal and nutrition are closely intertwined, ensuring that officers receive the necessary sustenance for their well-being and effectiveness. As a part of these efforts, the APF, Nepal has introduced a cash ration allowance system, empowering its personnel to obtain their ration items following approved guidelines. The aim of this research is to examine the feasibility and challenges associated with implementing institutional meals within the
organization. This qualitative study was conducted between May 19th to May 30th, 2023, involving various APF personnel and stakeholders. Both primary and secondary data collection methods were utilized. The primary data was gathered through a semi-structured questionnaire, while the Key Informant Interview and Focus Group Discussion methods were employed for data collection as well. The study also incorporates a descriptive and narrative analysis based on the secondary data. The interviews for this study were conducted both virtually and in person, using the local Nepali language. To address the identified challenges,
the study proposes the diversification of ration items based on factors such as altitude, training requirements, and dietary preferences. This approach aims to provide a more personalized approach to the meals provided. By examining the current practices and suggesting these changes, this study offers valuable insights for policymakers to guide the implementation of necessary adjustments. The findings of this study will serve as a guide to enhance the quality, variety, and nutritional value of meals, thereby promoting improved well-being and satisfaction among APF personnel. Additionally, this research will play a vital role in the development of guidelines, training programs, and policies for institutional meal practices within the APF, Nepal.
