Item An Economic Analysis of Micro-Hydropower (A Study of Kholshi Khola Micro-Hydropower Boharigaun VDC, Darchula)(Department of Economics, 2014) Bist, Hari PrasadMicro hydropower is an indigenous and source of energy for which the potential exist in the almost all the Hindu-Kush Himalayan region, which includes Afganistan, Bhutan, china, India, Myanmar, Nepal and Pakistan. Micro-hydropower is generally defined as decentralized small scale water power plant less than 100kw. Microhydropower projects have gained enormous popularly in developing countries during the four decade. Micro-hydropower plants are installed in Nepal's remote hilly and mountainous areas. These are useful to provide electricity mainly for lighting facility, Agro-processing like grinding, hulling and operating radio, TV, computers and some other end uses are its benefits. The plants up to 100 Kilo Watt capacity are to be known as micro hydropower but the schemes of 5 Kilo Watt or less, now, have to be known as Pico-hydropower. Micro hydro power can fulfill the demand of electricity in backward and isolated areas. The marginalized people are living in remote rural areas which lack balance of regional development. To some extent the development can’t be promoted in rural areas in the absence of the electricity. So Microhydropower plant may fulfill the energy demand to some extent by providing electricity. The thesis work entitled "Economic analysis of Micro-hydropower: A Study of Kholshi Khola Micro-hydropower Boharigaun VDC Darchula district” has attempted to fulfill the following objectives: to find out the Socio-economic impact of Microhydropower plant, current status of Micro-hydropower development in Nepal, electrical goods consumed by sample households and their technological improvement. In the study area, there were total 538 households affected by the Micro-hydropower project (MHP). In the field survey out of 538 households only 54 households were selected by using simple random sampling method. The sample is about 10% of the population and lottery method were applied to select households and to fulfill the objectives of the study. The present study shows the following result and recommendations: The main castes in the study area are Chhetri (64.81%), Brahmin (11.11%) and Dalit 24.07 percent peoples practice Hindu religion. Agriculture, foreign employment services and business are the main income sources of sample households. After MHP project people installed industries such as furniture, agro-milling, samill computer institute, poultry firms etc. and create the employment opportunitieswhereas 35 (64.81%) sample households has raided their income. Agro-mill make theespecially women life easy and the living standard of the respondent has changeafter electricity. Agricultural production has increased after MHP project by gettingirrigation and other facilities. Possession of various electric instruments has increased after MHP, which make the villagers life easy and help to change the life the people. The study habits of the children have been increased. 87.03 percent (44households Said their children's performance in the school has improved in holistways. The entire households (100%) is ready to pay more amount than prevailing rattomaintain the project and make it sustain. The main recommendations of the present study are: the participation of women planning and implementation of micro-hydropower plant needs to be ensured.MHP project should be developed timely to meet the present growing needs in remote rural areas of the country. The sustainability of MHP is another issue. The dam constructeis located at the week area as well as 'Kulo' is built on supply areas so there is fear landslide. So the dam and 'Kulo' should be required for more securely.Item Impact of upallo kwang program in Magar women in Thulolumpek; A case study of ward no:4, Gulmi district, Nepal(Department of Rural Development, 2018) Adhikari, Hari BhaktaThis study entitled “Impact of Upallo Kwang Program in Magar Women in Thulolumpek; A case study of ward No: 4, Gulmi district, Nepal” was carried out in Upallo Kwang Community of Gulmi district.

The purpose of this research is to find out the perceived skills and perception of mathematics teachers towards the use of ICT in teaching mathematics. The sample of the study consisted from who teach Mathematics in community school of Kathmandu valley. The data were collected from questionnaire. For this study teachers were selected by simple random sampling method. The questionnaire was prepared on three parts which are teachers demographic, teacher's perceived skills on ICT and teacher's perception on ICT. The perceived skills of mathematics teachers measured in the four-point Likert scale. Similarly, the perception of mathematics teachers measured in the five-point Likert scale. The collected data was tabulated and analyzed by using SPSS software version 23.0 to get the value percentage, mean and standard deviation for first objectives, statistic chi-square value at 0.05 level of significance and percentage for second objectives.The study concludes that the use of ICT in mathematics teaching is increasing day by day and also, ICT provides great opportunity for school in developing and improving their teaching and learning processes. For the conceptual development of mathematics, one of the abstract subjects, the learning is more effective by the use of ICT. This study shows that 55% of respondents have been using ICT for 1 to 5 years and 26% of respondents have been using ICT for less than 1 years. So, using ICT in teaching mathematics was rarely used before COVID-19 pandemic. The physical classes were neglecting the use of ICT. After therapid spread of coronavirus, the school were start virtually. Then they started using ICT in teaching mathematics. The researcher found that teachers were skilled on word processor, spread sheet, presentation packages, Data base, search engines, communication, GeoGebra, printer, projectors and scanners, but they were unskilled on Mathematica, Desmos and SPSS. Also, concluded that mathematics teachers has positive perception towards use of ICT in teaching mathematics. ICT helps to develop teachers and students skills, teaching materials, classroom management and students achievement.So, this situation made us all to realize that we cannot escape away from the use of technology. Similarly, we cannot ignore the increasing demand as well as necessity of ICT in teaching and learning.Item Women Empowerment through Transformational Social Mobilisation Programme Under Local Goverence and Community Development Programme (LGCDP) (A Case Study of Devdaha VDC, Rupandehi District)(Department of Economics, 2014) Paudyal, NarayaniNot available
