 A sudden catastrophe in the Himalayas Nepal has been left confronting a major humanitarian emergency after a devastating flash flood swept through parts of the country's Himalayan river valleys on 26 August. The event began in the high mountains and rapidly developed into a powerful surge of water, mud, rocks, and debris, moving downstream through narrow valleys with little time for communities to react. The disaster was concentrated around the Lhende Khola and Bhote Koshi river systems before the flood moved into the Trishuli corridor. Rasuwa was among the worst-affected districts, while Nuwakot, Dhading, and areas farther downstream also suffered extensive damage.

India’s growth story rarely stays out of the headlines for long. There’s always movement: startups raising fresh capital, IPO conversations gaining traction, and global investors continuing to strengthen their India bets. But behind the funding announcements and market optimism, there’s one quieter number drawing far more attention in investor circles right now. Credit growth It may not have the visibility of valuations or billion-dollar funding rounds, but for many investors, it is becoming one of the clearest indicators of where India is headed next. Because credit reveals something sentiment alone cannot. It shows whether consumers feel confident enough to spend, whether businesses are willing to expand, and whether financial institutions believe economic momentum is strong enough to lend into. That matters more than it sounds. Growth narratives are easy to build. But credit activity shows whether confidence is turning into real economic movement. When borrowing rises steadily, the ...

Nepal is facing a major natural disaster after devastating flash floods struck areas near the Nepal–Tibet border. The Rasuwa district has been among the worst affected, with floodwaters causing widespread destruction to roads, bridges, buildings and other infrastructure.

The sudden rise in water caused extensive damage across settlements near the border. Several roads and bridges were damaged, making communication and transportation extremely diff...

  पत्रकारिता केवल समाचार इकट्ठा करके लोगों तक पहुँचाने का माध्यम नहीं है, बल्कि यह एक बड़ी जिम्मेदारी भी है। पत्रकारों के पास किसी घटना या मुद्दे के बारे में लोगों की सोच को प्रभावित करने की शक्ति होती है। इसलिए एक पत्रकार के लिए ईमानदारी, निष्पक्षता और जिम्मेदारी बहुत जरूरी है। पत्रकारिता केवल समाचार इकट्ठा करके लोगों तक पहुँचाने का माध्यम नहीं है, बल्कि यह एक बड़ी जिम्मेदारी भी है। पत्रकारों के पास किसी घटना या मुद्दे के बारे में लोगों की सोच को प्रभावित करने की शक्ति होती है। इसलिए एक पत्रकार के लिए ईमानदारी, निष्पक्षता और जिम्मेदारी बहुत जरूरी है। पत्रकारों को अफवाहों, भ्रामक खबरों और बिना सत्य जाने  जानकारी को फैलाने से बचना चाहिए। साथ ही, लोगों की निजता और सम्मान का ध्यान रखना भी पत्रकार की जिम्मेदारी आज के डिजिटल दौर में कोई भी खबर सोशल मीडिया के माध्यम से कुछ ही सेकंड में हजारों लोगों तक पहुँच सकती है। ऐसे समय में पत्रकारिता की नैतिकता और भी महत्वपूर्ण हो जाती है। एक जिम्मेदार पत्रकार को खबर की सच्चाई के साथ-साथ उसके समाज पर पड़ने वाले प्रभाव के बारे में भी सोचना चाह...

Citizen journalism stands for news or information that is witnessed by someone and produced by people in society who are not professional journalists. They usually use smartphones and social media platforms to share it. It has become so powerful, and the reason is very obvious: everyone has a smartphone and the ability to post anything, anytime. The CJP protest is a very recent example. We have seen many influencers get famous after doing citizen journalism. It is not important that professional reporters are present everywhere at the time of an incident. When they are not, citizen journalism can come forward and help bring information to people. But the question arises: Is the news really authentic? We often don't know who filmed the video or when it was recorded. We also know that AI is being used to mislead people many times.                                            ...
