Continuing the legacy ...

Dear Atith, 

Greetings from Glocal Teen Hero.

Congratulations!

You have been selected as the “Top Six Finalist” of Golchha Group presents Glocal Teen Hero Nepal 2023. Your work and contribution to society have raised us to have you on the list of “Top 6 Finalists” as an Early Change Maker from across the Nation.

I opened my email to read that I had been selected as the top six finalists from a pool of 681 applicants who had applied to Glocal Teen Hero Nepal 2023. To learn that I was among the six teenagers who have had a remarkable impact on their societies was an extremely happy surprise. I had never been that happy in the previous couple of years.

As I read the email, my body trembled, heartbeats raised, and I could no longer sit down. I jumped out of excitement. I rushed to my phone to call my family. Quickly, I opened the video calling application and rang a call. My parents didn't receive it. The adrenaline rush couldn't hold me back from voice-calling my mom on the phone. She picked it up and I shared my magnanimous joy with her.

Luckily, I had explained to her what the program was all about earlier. She responded positively and made a humorous remark, "How have you received this nationwide honor?". She had understood that I was selected amongst other teenagers all over Nepal for my focus on increasing access to education, a focus on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

It was not the first time that I had applied for this recognition. I applied for Glocal Teen Hero in my ninth standard, too. Then, I was involved in the Ward Child Club only. Regardless, I was looking forward to the recognition. Sadly, my application was not accepted. However, this year, I applied with no hopes of getting accepted. I simply shared the work I was doing. Boom, there you go, my application was accepted, I got shortlisted, I was interviewed, and I was selected as the Top Six Finalist.

I felt happy that I was continuing the legacy left behind by ex-xavierians. In 2021, Anurag Chapagain was selected as a Top Six Finalist; in 2022,  Rahul Ranjan Shah (winner) was selected as a Top Six Finalist; in 2023, Atith Adhikari (I) was selected as a Top Six Finalist. Now, it's up to our juniors that they continue the legacy we have created.

Unemployment in Nepal - ExamTime Essays

Question: Write an essay on 'Unemployment in Nepal' in about 450 words. Total Words: 440 The world has progressed from the medieval age to the modern age, which has increased our focus on the economy. Today, everyone wishes to become rich so, unemployment has been seen as a major problem in developing countries because of the inability of people to find expertise in any field. It is being faced by Nepal, as well. At present, millions of Nepalese are jobless and have been migrating to India, the Middle East, and other countries. However, this does not end the problem of unemployment in Nepal. Out of the 30 million population of Nepal, nearly 1-2% of the people are unemployed. It has led to the rise in poverty level, the spread of diseases, and other socio-economic problems. Illiteracy is not the major cause of this problem. Indeed, lack of technical education is. Schools in Nepal have been developing minds that get emp...

Education Enlightens People with Wisdom

138 Words Education Enlightens People with Wisdom The only fact that separates a man from animals is education. It is a general sense of awareness that a person uses to distinguish between right and wrong, good and bad. Often, education is said to be the third eye of an individual. While the two eyes help us to see the world, this third eye which can be obtained from educational institutions like schools, colleges, etc. formally, enlightens us with intellectual ability to observe and perceive the world. Wisdom, is another name for education that is generally gained by informal ways as the formal ones hugely focus on grades rather than morality. A person, who imparts knowledge regarding ethics, behavior, and right acts, and implements them in daily life, is said to be a wise one. Lord Buddha and Mahatma Gandhi are the best examples of it.

My Country - Nepal | Short Essay/ Speech for Children

  My Country: Nepal ' Unity in Diversity' defines my country. Located between two of the biggest countries in the world China and India, my country Nepal, is geographically smaller and a landlocked country. Nonetheless, eight of the highest peaks of the world lie here, Light of Asia, Gautam Buddha was born here, the highest peak of the world, Mt.Everest lies here. Also, 10 of the UNESCO's World Heritage Sites lie within this small country. Nepal is a historically, biologically, and spiritually a unique country in the world. Though, Nepal's current geographical area is 1,47,516 sq.km., the Greater Nepal in 1804 was much bigger than what we have right now. Another surprising fact, yet a matter of pride is that we have never been the colony of foreign powers. So, we have never celebrated the Independence Day. Geographically, our country is divided into three landforms: Mountain, Hilly an...
