    Globalization and its Impacts in Rural Area A Case of Pokhara-33, Gairagaun, Kaski
    (Faculty of Sociology, 2021) Acharya, Sujan
    The study entitled Globalization and its impact in rural area was carried out in order to analysis the modern transformation of rural i.e. conducted in Pokhara -33 Gairagaun Kaski district of Nepal during 2020/2021. It is a rural area i.e. in changing phase towards development by various global factors. The word globalization has been used in highly variable ways. In this study, globalization is used as an agent for modern transformation in rural area i.e. influenced by dependency. The whole entire 93 households were selected for the research. Both qualitative and quantitative data were obtained through primary and secondary sources applying the census method for the surveyed population using interviews and observation as tools and techniques. This study was carried out based on the field survey and analysis. Primary data was collected based on intensively interview, developed observation, key informant interviews and focus group discussion. Case study methods were also used to explore and triangulate in the field information. Review of records, research reports, different journal, published and unpublished papers were also used to collect secondary data. The data obtained from research were analyzed, presented and interpreted by using statistical tool such as frequency counts, percent graphs, piechart table and graphical interpretation by using SPSS and MS EXCELL software. Modernization theory and dependency theory was followed to interpret the finding of the research in the basis of reviewed literature. The study found that the main cause of spreading globalization towards rural area is influence of modern technology. Rural area in Nepal has undergone a dramatic cultural transformation in recent years as a direct result of globalization and westernization. After the secularization, the conversion ratio from Hinduism to Christianity is in upgrading process towards lower caste people. Meanwhile remittance play vital role for both nation and family development process. Foreign employment neither only flows capital but it also change the lifestyle and modern transformation towards luxurious appliances expense. Although many youths are more attraction towards own business, wage labor then agrarian economy because that kind of traditional agriculture is not more productive and profitable. Thus many people are substituting occupation and migrate towards city.

    Item Analysis of ELT Theories and Methods Exam at B.Ed. Level
    (Department of English Education, 2006) Acharya, Sujan
    The main purpose of this dissertation was to analyze multiple-choice objective tests of B.Ed. 2 nd year course "ELT Theories and Methods" in the years from 2055 to 2059 B.S. For this purpose, the population of the study was 80 students of B.Ed.second year, studying in different campuses in Kathmandu valley. Two government colleges and two private colleges were selected and twenty students from each campus were chosen for the study. The research eradministered 100 multiple-choice objective test items of B.Ed. 2 yearcourse "ELT Theories and Methods" asked in the years from 2055 to2059. The findings of the study are given below: 1. Too easy and too difficult items fail to discriminate between the testee. For example, facility value of the item no. 10 in the year2055 was 0.81 but it's discrimination power is 0.33, facility value of item no. 19 in the year 2058 was 30.57 but it's discrimination power is 0.06. 2. Items with good facility value need not necessarily have good discrimination index. For example, facility value of item no. 17 in the year 2055 was 0.76 but it's discrimination index was 0.33. 3. Perfect discrimination is impossible. The researcher did not find any item in which 100% testees at the upper level correct a and particular item and none of the testees at lower level correct the same item. The study consists of four chapters. The first chapter includes general background, review of related literature, objectives of the study and definition of the specific terms. The second chapter deals with methodology. It includes the sources ofdata, population of the study, sample of the study, tools for data collection, process of data collection and limitations of the study. The third chapter deals with the analysis and interpretation of the data.The obtained data were tabulated and analyzed by using simple statistic altools of percentage and using diagrams and tables. The fourth chapter deals with findings and recommendations of the study.In the final section of the study appendices are included.

    Operation of the Integrated Nepal Power System on Injection of the Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Power Station
    (Pulchowk Campus, 2020-07) Acharya, Sujan
    The goalmouth of this dissertation is to develop operating models on the injection of the Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric power plant within the Integrated Nepal power grid. It gives a constructive idea to assist power grid system planners. It suggests the concept of regional and sub-regional control of an Integrated Network together with addressing transmission expansion plan for the long-term operation. The possible mapping of demand and supply management for power flow study based on the current real scenario is presented by taking necessary data from the Load Dispatch Centre and System Planning Department, NEA. Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric power plant, which is approximately one-third of the installed capacity of generated power, is going to operate in fiscal year 2077/078. An optimal evacuation of such a power plant of 456 MW requires a secure and reliable transmission grid for the stable operation of the integrated network. Nepalese power grid still has poor voltage supply and occasional system collapse due to insufficient and poor planning of transmission links. The proposed network of an integrated system is subjected to various analysis techniques for secure and stable operation including import and export scenarios with the optimum utilization of the generators by minimizing transmission loss. Especially, steady-state power flow analysis is conceded and simulated within the computer model to find out the most effective optimal operation. It identifies the finest optimal operating state by understanding the operation of the Integrated Nepal power grid and recommends a brand-new approach to the robust and reliable transmission line expansion plan for providing the national peak demand. Also, the integrated system can supply electrical power to the neighbouring countries. The results obtained from the predicted model for the different scenarios shows that the voltages of all major substations and line loading of all major transmissions lines are inside the set restrictions as prescribed by the grid code. Initially, almost all the 66 kV existing transmission line conductors displayed unstable voltage supply, but later on, has a stable voltage profile when existing conductors are replaced by the BEAR conductor. Also, it is recommended that using MOOSE conductor instead of DEER conductor for the 220 kV high voltage transmission line conductors for the stable and reliable operation. Mahendranagar, Ramnagar, Raxual, Dhalkebar, and Kusaha are the most central five, substations that are used for the cross border power exchange. About 135 MW power is exported to India through three cross borderlines. Among them, about 53 MW power through Dhalkebar 220 kV, 40 MW through Katiya, and 42 MW power through Ramnagar 132 kV substations are going to be delivering the power to Indian Grid. Kathmandu valley, Hetauda, Butwal, Duhabi Kholpur are the major load centers through which large electric power has been consumed. The overall analysis shows that the Integrated Nepal power grid has stable operation on clustering whole integrated system into three different zones, i.e. Eastern, Central, and Western zone, which are capable of self-generation and self-consumption. The largest central zone has the load demand of approximately 1125 MVA and also the smallest western zone has a load demand capacity of 100 MVA. Also, the eastern zone incorporates a load demand of about 385 MVA. This study has concluded that after injection of Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric power plant provides stable operation to the integrated network on improving system voltage profile. It advises power system planners to follow regional control for the long run operation after the injection of Upper Tamakoshi onward. Due to the synchronization difficulties, and transmission line infrastructures available, sub-regional control is essential for the stable operation of the power system network. Additionally, such a power control mechanism is significant for radial power exchange in the context of cross border power trade.
