    Academic Procrastination of University Students on Writing Assignments
    (Department of English Education, 2017) Giri, Subash
    This study entitled Academic Procrastination of University Students on Writing Assignments intends to find out the causes of academic procrastination on writing assignments by university students. To accomplish the study, survey research design was applied. Regarding the sample population, 40 students were selected by using non-random purposive sampling strategy.To obtain the data the researcher used question naireconsisting of close ended and open-ended questions.The data was analyzed and interpreted descriptively. The study showed that most of the university students procrastinate their writing assignments due to the imposition of lots of tasks at once by teacher,task aversiveness, depression and poor mood, lack of time management skills,fear of making mistakes, hollow effects in evaluation and lack of sufficient materials,sources, guidance and constructive feedback. This thesis has been divided into five chapters. The first chapter includes the background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives of the study,research questions, significance of the study, delimitations of the study and operational definition of the key terms of the study.The second chapter deals with the review of related theoretical literature, review of empirical literature,implication of the review for the study and conceptual framework. The third chapter deals with the methodology employed to conduct the study. It gives information about the design of the study, population, sample and sampling strategy, study area, research tools, data collection procedure and data analysis procedures and interpretation. Chapter four consists of analysis of data and interpretation of result. Likewise, the fifth chapter includes the findings,conclusions and recommendations. Some recommendations related to policy,practice and further research are presented in this section. This chapter is followed by references and appendices.

    “DELINEATION OF GROUND WATER RECHARGE POTENTIAL ZONES OF CHITWAN DISTRICT”
    (IOE Pulchowk Campus, 2023-04) Shiwakoti, Shubham; Aryal, Smaran; Giri, Subash; Pandit, Suraj; Timsina, Susan; Agrawal, Tarun
    This research analyzes the ground water recharge potential and identifies the high ground water recharge potential zones in Chitwan district. The calculation and estimation of groundwater recharge is the way to understand the groundwater reservoir and forecast its potential accessibility. The main objective of this study is to assess the groundwater recharge and its controlling factors at Chitwan District included as Rapti and Narayani catchment basin. Groundwater recharge process is crucial for maintaining the water balance in an area and securing sustainable water supply for drinking, agriculture and industrial purposes and it is also very necessary for the management of both surface and subsurface water resources. Our study uses the application of analytical hierarchical process (AHP) on geospatial analysis for the exploration of potential zones for artificial groundwater recharge. Various aspects of earth surface features such as geology, geomorphology, soil types, land use and land cover, slope, aspect, precipitation, population density, elevation etc. are taken in consideration that influence the groundwater recharge in either direct or indirect way. These thematic layers are prepared and extracted using population data, Landsat 8 image, topographical map, and various other data sources. Weighted analysis and union of data obtained is used for formation of recharge map in this study. A pair-wise matrix analytical method is used to calculate the geometric mean and normalized weight of individual parameters also known as AHP analysis. Further, the normalized weighted layers are mathematically overlaid for preparation of groundwater recharge potential zone map. The results reveals that around 133.17 sq. km (6%) of total area has been identified as high potential zone for groundwater recharge. The forest areas in central part and south western part have high potential for groundwater recharge. Hilly and mountain terrains in north Mahabharata range are considered as unsuitable zone with very low groundwater recharge potential.
