The main objectives of this research is to assess the knowledge and sources of information of adolescent school girls about menstruation, to identify the socio-cultural traditions and restrictions practiced during menstruation and to identify the reasons of school absenteeism during menstruation. Three research questions are made to address the objective of the study. A quantitative research design is used for the study under which survey method is used as main tools. For My research out of 7 government school in Kathmandu 13 & 14 as a sample only 3 government schools including Jana Prabhat Secondary School (40 girls, Kalimati-13, Kathmandu), N il Barahi Secondary School (78 girls, Tankeshwor Kalimati, Kathmandu-13) and Kuleshowor Awash Secondary School (78 girls, Kuleshowor-14 Kathmandu) total 190 girls students as a sampling are taken as respondents. After collecting the data, the data are analyzed by using statistical tools and represented in charts and diagrams. After collecting the information from field this research try to address the answers of all research questions. After analysis of the data it can be concluded that family members (mother, sisters, cousin sisters, grandmother) are the major source of information of menstruation for adolescent girls. The knowledge generally transform from mother to daughter. This knowledge is not enough because still some girls have miss conception about menstruation periods and cycle. Girls still do not have good hygiene practices. They still use clothes during menstruation. However the number of such girls who are using cloths is lesser, that indicates that girls are now conscious about their health. Still more than half girls do not bath IV regularly during the menstruation period and about 75% girls do not use soap for cleaning the vaginal part during the menstruation. Still 40% girls do not stay in their own room during the menstruation period and some of them are sent to their neighbor’s house as well. The superstitions of untouchability during the menstruation are almost there in every household. They are not allowed to enter and work in the kitchen during the menstruation period. It means the family members restrict the girls for doing rituals activities and other household’s activities during menstruation periods. Still half of the girls do not go schools on the first day of the menstruation. Among many reasons the common reason for this is health problem. The girls feel physically weak during the time and some even feel severe pain so they could not attend their class.Item Local Governance And Service Delivery In Pokhara Metropolitan City, Nepal(Department of Political Science, 2021-10) Wagle, PrakashThe history of local governance in Nepal is as long as the history of Nepal itself. The systematic practice of decentralization started in Nepal since the rise of democracy in 1951. However, the concept did not obtain much progress for long. The People's Movements I in 1990 and II in 2006 have brought significant changes in the political system. The two hundred and forty years long monarchy system has been abolished, and Nepal has been officially declared as the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal. Among different spheres of changes brought up by the declaration, the unique approach in local governance has unlocked innovative prospects for development. At present, the local governments are responsible for day-to-day service delivery at the grassroots level. Evidences indicate that though local governments have done well in the area of local governance through delivery of services at local level, they have not been able to improve the governance through well-being of the people. They have failed in many ways to improve upon the overall livelihoods of their local people and communities. In this context, local governance is still below the level to address intensified expectations of the people. Since there is a lack of such studies attached to local governance in Nepal, this study focuses on the status of service delivery in Pokhara Metropolitan City. The study adopts descriptive cum exploratory design and a mixed-method approach in research. The information is collected from 10 service providers following in-depth interviews through semi-structured questionnaires and from 112 service seekers through structured survey questionnaires using purposive and convenient sampling methods. The study found the provision of national and locally formulated rules, laws, and regulations as a basis of service delivery in Pokhara Metropolitan City. The study noted the lack of several factors like cooperation and coordination among three tires of governments, financial and human resources, infrastructural facilities, public awareness, accountability, responsiveness, transparency, etc. as the significant challenges for service delivery. This study has important policy implications in promoting local governance in Nepal.Item People's Participation (A Case Study of Chamati Land Pooling In Kathmandu Metropolitan City)(Department Of Public Administration, 2015) Adhikari, DeepakThe government is almost the sole of services in the rural sectors of developing countries. People centered development culture has not yet been institutionalized in Nepal. In the academic discourse the decentralization has come to be regarded as the best way of integrating local people in the web of development. Development practitioners, however, see decentralization as a necessary but not a sufficient condition for involving cross section of local people into development intervention. Because of the elite domination, the power mass, the poor and the marginalized and successfully block their meaningful integration in local government in Nepal. The local government have to shoulder the increasing responsibility for the provision of public goods and services and the management of public goods and services and the management of public money in order to fulfill the responsibility effectively and properly, local government bodies must maintain fiscal discipline i.e. the ability to spend tax paid money and local resources effectively and in accordance with national and local micro economic objectives and targets. Present study is an endeavor to have a fresh look at the local governance status through assenting the level of people’s participation in developing process. The study also explores the actors and factors shaping participation as well as causes for non participation in Land pooling process in Nepal. For the purpose of the study the Chamati Land Pooling project was selected. For the research numbers of respondents from among the community members have been interviewed through a structured questionnaire. Furthermore, selected respondent like representative of landowner, the executive officer of KMC, engineer and project implementation officer were also interviewed.Item Preference of Mainstream Beer in kathmandu Metropolitan City (With Reference to Oranjeboom Beer)(Faculty of Management, 2008) Bajracharya, AnilNot AvailableItem Street Children in Kathmandu Metropolitan City: Problems and Prospects(Department of Sociology, 2008) Buddhacharya, SumitaNot available
