Interferences



The Himalayan Times
17 August 2012
  It was sad and very unfortunate to see the political interference and influence in the universities and campuses while appointing VC, campus chiefs and deans during the recent years. Why is it so happening openly in the newly born Republic Nepal? What is the motive behind this shameless political game going on in the educational institutions? Is it because the political ego of the leaders and their parties? Is there any monetary involvement behind the chairs? Who does benefit out of this dirty game? Why can’t these institutions leave in their own to fill the vacant positions based on the established criteria?  

Resident doctors and students at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) have warned of obstructing all services, except the emergency room, if the university did not revoke its decision to appoint a “junior” doctor as the new dean as reported in “TUTH docs to close services from today” (THT, 15 July, Page 2). Paying no attention to Dr. Govind K.C’s fast-unto-death protesting to political influence in the appointment of high level officials at the TUTH, the government has appointed UML affiliated junior doctor to the vacant post of Dean. Why can’t the political parties mind their own business and let these institutions run free from any political game? Why are the institutions that are directly associated with the public to be politicized?

Causes and consequences of self-immolation

Self-immolation—the act of setting oneself on fire—is one of the most extreme, painful, and lethal forms of self-harm and suicide.

Causes of Self-Immolation: The underlying motivations for self-immolation vary significantly across different regions, cultures, and socioeconomic demographics. ·      Political and Ideological Protest: In Western nations and certain East Asian histories, self-immolation is highly associated with political statement .

2083/84 budget at a glance The Balen led government , which is almost two-thirds majority government secured in the March 2026 elections , has announced its annual budget 2,124.34 billion on May 29, 2026, as the largest budget in Nepal's history, representing a 25.2 present increase over the revised estimates of the current fiscal year 2082/83.  Most of the financial experts and economic analysts opine that this budget, although optimistic, has broadly, boldly and wisely covered key and major aspects of the national all round development.
