A Story inspires Many

Stories of self inspires many indeed. Sometimes when we see others doing some amazing thing be it act, dance, play, speech, song and even some inspiring feelings that you also go through the same feeling then it brings a u-turn in your life. 

We feel the same with Saugat Rajbhandaris (+augast99 on youtube ). 

Watch it :) And if you feel the same then do share it and also share your comments :)

How did it start ? 

Why did i blog it ?

I have always believed that its just a small push and it was that push that made this happen and we are PROUD of it. 

P.S. -

As the video and posts were public we felt that it won't be any issues with Saugat for us publishing it. We have already requested Saugat for it and he has allowed us with due permission. Thank you Saugat :) Thank you for this narrative story of yours. We thank you and #you both :)

National Astronomy Olympiad 2014 ( NAO-2014), first Astronomy Olympiad in Nepal, has finally selected its 5 winners who will participate in the 8th International Olympiad in Astronomy and Astrophysics (IOAA) during August in Suceava, Romania. NAO 2014 was launched in the month of January, 2014 and the applications were opened the same time by holding selection exam on March 22 where many participants from all across Nepal participated out of which 20 students were selected. Later in May,  Pre-Closed Camp was held with 12 students  participating and Closed Camp from June 1-7 where 5 winners - Ashirbad Acharya, Bibek Kumar Pandit, H C Regan Babu Bhatta, Kiran Adhikari and Prabesh Koirala selected through our closed camp to represent Nepal at IOAA with the Nepal delegation.


Here is what Ashirbad Acharya has to share with +View Your Choice- तपाईको सोचाई हाम्रो रोजाई -

"I am Ashirbad Acharya, studying Science in St. Xavier’s College, on my quest of learning more. Always on the search for truth and perfection, I grew up helping and collaborating with each individual to move forward. My enthusiastic passion and knowledge of Science is proven by my 1st and 2nd rank in National Science and Mathematics Olympiad respectively. My success has come from trying to find an answer to a simple question “How does life exist?” Hence, I keep a keen interest in Biology, especially learning about working of life and its evolution. I also find the idea of life in another form, made up of different building blocks, maybe even different elements quite fascinating. 

The participation in the National Astronomy Olympiad was like a dream come true for me. I always gazed up in the sky amazed by the immenseness of the universe and felt that the secret lied there. Never did I believe in luck, but put a strong trust towards hard work which is my best ally. I believe, 

“Think about what you can do, not what’s not in your hands.” 

I feel myself as a deserving candidate to represent my country in the International Olympiad on Astronomy and Astrophysics on account of my skills and previous accomplishments. I want to falsify the prevailing notion of poor countries like Nepal being poor in talent. By getting great rank, I wish to prove that curious and intelligent minds are also born in Nepal, just waiting for opportunity."

Story of National Food Activism-2013

Food Activism was initiated  from the year 2012 with the theme “Agricultural Co-operatives key to feeding the World”. This is a purely youth involved Momentum for the development of Knowledge status on Agri-food system, envirionmental  issues, climate change with  food security. The core vision we defined is the collaborative R&D with different Academic youth erudite for the  development  and capacity building in order to achieve Sustainable development through integrated study of social, economic and environmental aspects of development with  climate change and food security.

 Food and Nutritional Security Today’s Necessity Programme was organized by  Activists being  focused on food security; 

i)                    Food production, availability, accessibility, &utilization.

ii)                  Stability of food supplies.

These dimensions of food security are likely to be affected by Biodiversity change. So introducing Activsim with  massive participation of youths’, GOs &NGOs, Health professionals, academia in the Awareness rally with Flash Mob, Photo and Poster presentation of facts and figures with multidisciplinary based Talk Programe was primal  to the success.

Awareness programe with SOS mothers’ in the issues of  Biodiversity agricultural threat in food security.  Sensitize Programme on “Food Security intervention; impact of pesticides in environment”. at Lekhnath Municipality with the youths is  the salient success.

GoN apprises us with ample encouragement with Letter of Appreciation for the contribution to the well-being of the community through sustainability-led  Food and  Enviromental resilience Programme.

The story of activism was selected in Success stories of youth related activities within Climate Change, Agriculture and Biodiversity which was hosted by Local Initiatives for Biodiversity, Research and Development (LI-BIRD) in June 15-16, 2014.

The team of National Food Activism 2013 would like to thank to all of the sponsors, promoters, and outreach partners for their generous support and  we wish similar type of encouragement and endorsement  in upcoming mega event of National Food Activism 2014.
