The interviews were conducted with case Pahari students, their parents, pre- math teacher and head teacher about their experience, opinions, feelings and knowledge for collecting necessary data. Those collected information were analyzed on the basis of conceptual framework and data were validated and supported by the social constructivist theory and empirical review. Findings of this study arethe economic condition of Pahari parents found very poor and illiterate.They use their children as a means of earning support.

    Self Evasive Anthropocentric Motives in Refuge and The Road
    (Central Department of English, 2017) Adhikari, Hari Prasad
    This research work examines how Terry Tempest Williams’ Refuge and Cormac McCarthy’s The Road give importance to human beings and ignore nature. This tendency of ignoring nature is self- evasive, self- deceptive and thereby self- destructive for human beings. Refuge presents the narrative of nuclear testing in Utah which is geared by human desire to assume power, but this anthropocentric hubris causes cancer with which a majority of population suffers beyond cure; and the Great Salt Lake also overflows due to human encroachment on it. Likewise, in The Road, the protagonists, an unnamed man and a boy suffer from hunger and insecurity in the woods because the woods have turned into grey site ensuing from wars. This research studies both the texts in the light of ecological crisis of reason propounded by Val Plumwood who views that human tendency of giving importance to themselves leads to self- evasive and self- destructive attitude endangering their existence. The research comes up with a finding that human beings impose their supremacy on nature, but such an attitude endangers them and nature alike and that there is no human survival unless they realize their presence in the presence of other parts of nature.

    Use of Cassettes and Cds in Teaching Spelling and Pronunciation
    (Department of English Education, 2009) Adhikari, Hari Prasad
    The present study is on the use of electronic devices in teaching spelling and pronunciation. The study aims at finding out the use of electronic devices to teach spelling and pronunciation skills at the lower secondary level of government aided schools. The data were collected from five schools of Banke district. Hundred students and ten teachers were taken as subjects from those schools. Twenty students were selected randomly from each school. There were equal numbers of students from grade six. Four lessons on spelling and pronunciation of grade six were observed by the researcher. Thus, twenty lessons in five schools were observed. The researcher used two different sets of questionnaires and one observation form to obtain the data. The researcher found that most of the teachers used their own voice more than the recorded materials while teaching spelling and pronunciation in classes. Avery few recorded materials were used. These materials were mainly helpful for examination. Video and Radio programmes were not used at all. The study is divided into four main chapters. Chapter one includes general introduction of the study. It also consists of review of related literature, objectives of the study and significance of the study. Chapter two deals with methodology, i.e. how the research was carried out. The study was based on both primary and secondary sources of data. This chapter also deals with the population of the study, the sample population, the sampling procedure, the tools for data collection and the limitations of the study. Chapter three deals with analysis and interpretation of the collected data. The data were analyzed in terms of (i) analysis and interpretation of data from questionnaire, (ii) analysis and interpretation of the data from observation. The data were interpreted by comparing the use of materials. Chapter four incorporates the findings and recommendations. On the basis of the analyzed data the findings were listed and, in turn, on the basis of these findings some recommendations were made.
