भष्ट्रचार बढ्दै गएको 'ट्रान्सपरेन्सी इन्टरनेश्नल' को ठहर

यो भन्दा ठूलो विम्बना अरु के हुन्छ ? 

सत्ता र शक्तिको संर्घषमा लागेका हाम्रा नेताहरुलाई यसले केहि असर गछ त ?

काठमाडौं, मंसिर २ (नागरिक)-  राजनीतिक अस्थिरता र कानुनको पालनामा कमी भएका कारण नेपालमा गत वर्षको तुलनामा भ्रष्टचार मौलाएको तथ्यांकले देखाएको छ। ट्रान्सपरेन्सी इन्टरनेश्नलले मंगलबार सार्वजनिक गरेको विश्वका एक सय ८० राष्ट्रको भ्रष्टचार सूचकांकमा नेपालको स्थानमा एक सय ४३ औं स्थान झरेको छ, जुन अघिल्लो वर्षभन्दा २२ स्थान पछि हो।

अघिल्लो वर्ष नेपाल एक सय २१ औं स्थानमा सुचित थियो। संघीय लोकतान्त्रिक गणतन्त्रको स्थापनापछि कानुनी दायरा र काननुको पालना गराउने संयन्त्र कमजोर भएकोले नेपालमा भ्रष्टाचारले बढावा पाएको ट्रान्सपरेन्सीको विश्लेषण छ।

'सयौं वर्ष पुरानो राजतन्त्रलाई विस्थापन गरेर गणतन्त्र स्थापना भइ नेपाल संविधान बनाउने प्रक्रियामा छ, जुन अघिल्लो वर्षको तुलनामा शान्तिपूर्ण स्थिति हो', ट्रान्सपरेन्सीको प्रतिवेदनमा भनिएको छ, 'तर कानुनी पालना गराउने निकाय कमजोर रहेकोले त्यसबाट भ्रष्टचार मौलाउन मद्दत पुगेको छ।'

दक्षिण एशियामा पाकिस्तान र बंगलादेशको स्थिति पनि नाजुक देखिएको छ। यी दुबै राष्ट्र एक सय ३९ औं नम्बरमा सुचिकृत भएका छन्। नेपालको छिमेकी चीन ७९ औं र भारतचाहिं ८४ स्थानमा दरिएको छ। ट्रान्सपरेन्सी इन्टरनेश्नललेले एक सय ८० देशको सूचकांकलाई शुन्य भएमा अत्याधिक भ्रष्ट मुलुक र १० पुगेमा भ्रष्टचार न्युन भएको मुलुकका रूपमा सुचित गरेको हो। यस आधारमा न्युजल्याण्ड सबभन्दा कम भ्रष्ट मुलुकको रूपमा देखिएको छ, जसले ९ं.४ नम्बर पाएको छ। दोस्रो र तेस्रोमा क्रमशः डेनमार्क र सिंगापुर पर्न सफल भएका छन्।

द्वन्द्वग्रस्त सोमालियाचाहिं सबभन्दा भ्रष्ट मुलुकको रूपमा चिनिएको छ। त्यसपछि अफ्गानिस्तान र म्यानमार क्रमशः दोस्रो र तेस्रो भ्रष्ट मुलुक भनेर ट्रान्सपरेन्सी इन्टरनेश्नलको विज्ञप्तिमा उल्लेख छ। सुडान र इराकलाई संयुक्तरूपमा चौथो भ्रष्ट मुलुकको रूपमा सुचिकृत गरिएको छ। लामो समयसम्म आन्तरिक गृहयद्धमा फसेकोले यी मुलुकको प्रशासनिक निकाय सबभन्दा बढी भ्रष्ट भएको दाबी गरिएको छ।

एशियाका ३२ मुलुकमध्ये बंगलादेश, जापान, टोंगा र भनौतुले अघिल्लो वर्षको तुलनामा सुधार गरेका छन्। मलेशिया, नेपाल, माल्दिभ्स र अफ्गानिस्तानको सुचाकांकचाहिं निकै तल झरेको हो ।

Climate change is a hot topic in Nepal

http://globalvoicesonline.org/2009/09/01/nepal-taking-on-the-challenge-of-climate-change/

Climate change is a hot topic in Nepal now as studies show that many people in the country are facing hunger due to frequent droughts and melting glaciers are also threatening millions. The country heavily depends on tourism and agriculture to sustain its economy and climate change could seriously hurt these two sectors.

“Changing weather patterns have dramatically affected crop production in Nepal, leaving farmers unable to properly feed themselves and pushing them into debt, ” Oxfam says in a report.

Chandan Sapkota, a Junior Fellow at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, also thinks that the effect of climate change on Nepal's agricultural sector warrants immediate attention:

“Late monsoon will decrease agriculture production, which is the backbone of the economy and more than 70 percent of the population depend on it for living. This will also have a huge impact on economic growth rate and per capita income.”

Climate change is also having serious impacts on Nepal's pristine Himalaya mountain range and the surrounding communities. Phil Butler at Pamil Visions notes the dangers of melting glaciers in the Himalayas. Supported by satellite pictures he has posted an in depth analysis of the endangered glaciers and the rising glacial lakes to show the urgency of the situation.

“These high glacial lakes (..) have risen in some cases by as much as 45 percent. Satellite imagery reveals without a doubt, severe melting of these crucial glaciers, still further evidence that global climactic change is proceeding at an accelerated rate. Hundreds of millions of people in the region that depends on the water from these glaciers will be negatively effected in way we cannot envision or predict accurately.”

Nepal's “meltdown” has prompted many international environment organizations to look into the issue seriously, although the government in Kathmandu is still dragging its feet when it comes to serious long term planning on climate change issues.

The Nepalese government's inaction aside, works of international organizations like WWF and ICIMOD are beginning to have an effect on the country's conscience. Various citizen and youth groups are being formed across the country to raise awareness about climate change.

Nepalese Youth For Climate Action is one such group. They call for stricter worldwide emission standard, encourage sustainable development by emphasizing on indigenous knowledge and industry, rally for investment on clean energy and seek more awareness in Nepal about climate change.

There are also efforts to provide training and resources to enhance the cause of climate change action by the private sector. Bhajumahesh reports that an eight day South Asian workshop (17th August -24th August 2009) was organized byPANOS South Asia-PSA to:

“build the capacity of media and other communication practitioners on climate change issues and the role of communications by applying ICTs for local content development, networking, knowledge sharing, to enable them to produce multimedia local contents on climate change communications in South Asia.”

As the country's government is sidetracked by political infighting, the Nepalese private sector and many ordinary citizens are leading the charge on climate change actions, showing the power of the people.

Preparing for floods

Coping with climate change in Nepal

Chitwan and Nawalparasi are among the most severely flood-affected districts in Nepal. Loss of lives and livelihoods are increasing annually along the Rapti and Narayani rivers as climatic conditions change.
Communities in Chitwan face the regular threat of destructive climatic events. In August 2003 there was a destructive flood in Jugedi, Bharlang and Isti which destroyed homes, cultivated land and human life. Farm land was also lost and three people were killed in a similar flood in August 1993. Soil erosion, lack of plantation, weak forest management and lack of awareness about environment management in the community are some of the major factors to environmental problems in the area. The increase in population and construction of nearby highway is also putting pressure on local natural resources.
Practical Action’s project works with 183 households and a population of 1,098. Agriculture is the mainstay of these communities. The average landholding per household is 3,424 sq m (just under an acre). The secondary source for livelihoods is livestock raising, forest products, trade, labourer (farm and off-farm), carpentry and masonry. The food production from the land meets the needs for only 3 - 4 months of the year. Unemployment and under-employment is also widespread.

Flooding preparedness

This project aims to reduce the impacts flooding has on communities living along the banks of Rapti and Narayani rivers in Chitwan. Communities are forced to live here due to land shortages often caused by annual destructive floods.
The livelihoods of fishermen and boatmen rely solely on the resources of the river due to land shortage. Although these floods are an annual event, their severity and intensity seems to be increasing. This results in more damage to property, farm land and loss of assets such as farm machinery and livestock as well as human life. As the floods cannot be predicted, villagers have to be alert to the risks both day and night. Warnings are typically relayed by word of mouth and by the time the information reaches the last/furthest household in a settlement, it is often already too late.
The scheme includes installing strengthening communities’ capacity to manage them through capacity building and awareness raising. This in turn will strengthen coping strategies.
The work includes:

• construction of dykes to channel water away from vulnerable communities
• protective structures
• an early warning system (watch tower)
• an additional bridge
• two emergency shelters
• rain/flood gauges

These will give increased security to vulnerable communities while contributing to the protection of marginal farm land and dwellings. Emergency materials, including life jackets and life boats, will also be provided to the communities.
This project is managed by Practical Action in partnership with local communities, and has been supported by the European Union, through its first DIPECHO programme for South Asia since 2002. It combines traditional Early Warning System practices with new technologies and adopts broader community based approach for disaster management, and will benefit 9,442 community members directly and 5,257 others indirectly. In 2006 Practical Action Nepal and European Commission Humanitarian Aid department (ECHO) established yet another partnership to strengthen the capacity of the communities to manage EWS in Chitwan and Nawalparasi districts.

Future work

This initiative will continue with an expansion of this pilot programme to three further sites in each district. Working with its local partners, SAHAMATI and Campaign Service Centre (CSC), Practical Action Nepal is initiating a community based risk reduction programme based around improved EWS, community managed river bank protection measures and provision of improved flood risk reduction infrastructure in the form of shelters, bridges and boats. Further, this is combined with a general campaign to increase public awareness.

Even the Himalayas Have Stopped Smiling: Climate Change, Poverty and Adaptation in Nepal

http://www.oxfam.org/en/policy/nepal-climate-change-poverty

Poor crop yields, water shortages and more extreme temperatures are pushing rural villagers closer to the brink as climate change grips Nepal. Farmers say changing weather patterns have dramatically affected crop production, leaving them unable to properly feed themselves and getting into debt.

More than 3.4 million people in Nepal are estimated to require food assistance, due to a combination of natural disasters, including 2008/09’s winter drought – one of the worst in the country’s history.

Nepal is seeing an increase in temperature extremes, more intense rainfall and increased unpredictability in weather patterns, including drier winters and delays in the summer monsoons. The changes, partly due to the impact of melting Himalayan glaciers, could also be felt well beyond Nepal’s borders.

Some of the heaviest burdens have fallen on women who are on the frontline of climate change. They have to travel further to fetch water and take on the responsibility for feeding the family as men in many poor households migrate seasonally to seek work.

Nepal is one of the world’s poorest nations, with 31% of its 28 million-population living below the poverty line. It has one of the lowest emissions records in the world – just 0.025% of total global greenhouse gas emissions.

Key recommendations

More work needs to be done in Nepal by the government and international organizations:

• to create greater awareness about climate change and its likely impacts,
• to prioritize and institutionalize actions at national level; and
• to help communities to play a greater role themselves in initiatives to reduce their vulnerability.

The world’s richest countries, those most responsible for global emissions, must

• do more to help poor countries like Nepal better adapt and mitigate the effects of climate change when they meet to discuss a global climate treaty in Copenhagen in December.

Climate Change Impact On Nepal

Laxman Datt Pant

Climate change is a big challenge facing the world today. Its impacts are visible and consequences cruel. The snow in the Himalaya is disappearing faster than realised. Sea levels threaten to rise higher than previously anticipated. And water supplies are increasingly at risk from both melting glaciers and extreme climate events such as droughts and floods. These changes threaten not only the environment but also the security and stability of human beings. In a country like Nepal, climate change directly affects the mountainous areas. These areas have a micro environment and are more likely to be affected by climate change in many ways. The major inference is a rise in temperature. Rise in temperature results in increased demand for resources like water. The soil turns dry and the moisture retaining capacity goes down. Temperature rise predictions Climate change experts predict the temperature will rise by about 5 degrees centigrade by the end of 2050. In the last 1000 years, the temperature rose by 1 degree centigrade only. We are already witnessing initial effects like drought and variability in rainfall. South Asia is the most vulnerable region in the world. Experts have warned that the region will face vast problems with climate change. And this is related to poverty and the very varied climate and geography in the region. The impacts of higher temperatures - more extreme weather events such as floods, cyclones, severe drought and sea level rise - are already being felt in South Asia and will continue to intensify. The South Asia region is a low-intensity producer of greenhouse gasses. Its carbon intensity did not increase as economic growth accelerated in the last decade. However, because poverty is so endemic and widespread, the climate change impact on South Asia will be severe even if the region continues to be a low greenhouse gas producer. Nepal is a country of mountains and snow-fed rivers. In recent times, it has been facing increasing impact of climate change on its water resources, river ecology, weather changes and biological diversity. The annual temperature rise in Nepal is about 0.06 degree Celsius per year. In the Himalayan region, the temperature is rising twice as fast or about 0.12 degree Celsius per year. Nepal’s high biodiversity is a reflection of its unique geographical position, altitudinal (60 to 8848 m) and climatic variations (tropical to alpine). These widely varied physical conditions support more than 2 per cent of flowering plants, 3 per cent of pteridophytes and 5 per cent of bryophytes of the world’s flora. It also supports more than 852 species of birds (8.6 % of the world’s), 181 species of mammals (4 % of the world’s), 1,822 species of fungi and 182 species of fishes. Glacial melt affects fresh water flows. Additionally, it will have dramatic adverse effects on Nepalese biodiversity and livelihoods, with a possible long-term implication on regional food security. The Rika Samba Glacier in the Dhaulagiri region is retreating at a rate of 10 m per year. This is very unusual as glacial movement is usually measured in millimeters. Similarly the AX010 Glacier of Shorong Himal will be extinct by 2060 if the current trend continues. UNEP has already warned that more than 40 Himalayan glacial lakes in Nepal are dangerously close to bursting. Rapidly melting glaciers means more seasonal variation in the river flow, which will in turn result in water shortage, frequent floods and draughts in the country. The people’s livelihood will be highly impacted. On the other hand, climate change reduces agriculture production, resulting in food insecurity. The impact of climate change on Nepalese agriculture is very frightening. It is revolting to note that food stocks are reduced in communities dependent on agriculture, especially in the Far Western and Mid-western regions. Consequently, it is resulting in widespread malnutrition and potentially fueling social unrest in the country. The risk of food scarcity was raised some months ago when the United Nations World Food Programme (UNWFP) reported that 2.5 million people in Nepal needed urgent food assistance. Food shortages and the dangers of glacial lakes bursting are certainly grave challenges for a country in political transition. Nepal needs to develop national policies to minimise the damage done by climate change. However, the government lacks real understanding of what climate change is. The Ministry of Science and Technology is responsible for promulgating and implementing strategies that can fight the impacts of climate change. Agriculture and production sectors should also be involved in implementing the strategies into action. But there are no concrete programmes to deal with the impact of climate change. The things that need to be addressed in Nepal are cultivation of crops, irrigation management and crop switching. Countries should work hard to negotiate a new international agreement to combat climate change. It has become very urgent for countries to work together. To make it a livable planet, all major greenhouse gas emitting countries must work together to take strong action. Globally, some concrete efforts need to be initiated by countries like the US. It is because the US has a responsibility as the world’s largest historic emitter of greenhouse gases. Without US emissions reductions, no solution to climate change is possible. It is noticeable that US President Barack Obama recently called on Congress to develop a comprehensive clean energy legislation to cut emissions drastically. International agreement To attain a strong international agreement and meet the climate change challenge, the developed countries need to reduce their emissions on an absolute basis while the developing countries must take actions that will substantially reduce their emissions on a relative basis. Developing countries should also focus on preparing low-carbon growth plans to guide their longer-term development path. Eventually, a climate change agreement must be about not only limiting carbon emissions but also about providing a safe pathway for sustainable development. For this, clean energy development is the only way forward. http://www.gorkhapatra.org.np/detail.php?article_id=24959&cat_id=7

Nepal's farmers on the front line of global climate change

John  Vidal in Kathmandu

The Guardian, Saturday 2 December 2006

"Himalayan communities face catastrophic floods as weather patterns alter"

Schoolteacher Sherbahadur Tamang walks through the southern Nepalese village of Khetbari and describes what happened on September 9: "During the night there was light rain but when we woke, its intensity increased. In an hour or so, the rain became so heavy that we could not see more than a foot or two in front of us. It was like a wall of water and it sounded like 10,000 lorries. It went on like that until midday. Then all the land started moving like a river."

When it stopped raining Mr Tamang and the village barely recognised their valley in the Chitwan hills. In just six hours the Jugedi river, which normally flows for only a few months of the year and is at most about 50 metres wide in Khetbari, had scoured a 300 metre-wide path down the valley, leaving a three metre-deep rockscape of giant boulders, trees and rubble in its path. Hundreds of fields and terraces had been swept away. The irrigation systems built by generations of farmers had gone and houses were demolished or were now uninhabitable. Mr Tamang's house was left on a newly formed island.

Khetbari expects a small flood every decade or so, but what shocked the village was that the two largest have taken place in the last three years. According to Mr Tamang, a pattern is emerging. "The floods are coming more severely more frequently. Not only is the rainfall far heavier these days than anyone has ever experienced, it is also coming at different times of the year."

Nepal is on the front line of climate change and variations on Khetbari's experience are now being recorded in communities from the freezing Himalayas of the north to the hot lowland plains of the south. For some people the changes are catastrophic.

"The rains are increasingly unpredictable. We always used to have a little rain each month, but now when there is rain it's very different. It's more concentrated and intense. It means that crop yields are going down," says Tekmadur Majsi, whose lands have been progressively washed away by the Tirshuli river. He now lives with 200 other environmental change refugees in tents in a small grove of trees by a highway. In the south villagers are full of minute observations of a changing climate. One notes that wild pigs in the forest now have their young earlier, another that certain types of rice and cucumber will no longer grow where they used to, a third that the days are hotter and that some trees now flower twice a year.

Anecdotal observations are backed by scientists who are recording in Nepal some of the fastest long-term increases in temperatures and rainfall anywhere in the world. At least 44 of Nepal's and neighbouring Bhutan's Himalayan lakes, which collect glacier meltwater, are said by the UN to be growing so rapidly they they could burst their banks within a decade. Any climate change in Nepal is reflected throughout the region. Nearly 400 million people in northern India and Bangladesh also depend on rainfall and rivers that rise there.

"Unless the country learns to adapt then people will suffer greatly," says Gehendra Gurung, a team leader with Practical Action in Nepal, which is trying to help people prepare for change. In projects around the country the organisation is working with vulnerable villages, helping them build dykes and set up early warning systems. It is also teaching people to grow new crops, introducing drip irrigation and water storage schemes, trying to minimise deforestation which can lead to landslides and introducing renewable energy.

Some people are learning fast and are benefiting. Davandrod Kardigardi, a farmer in the Chitwan village of Bharlang, was taught to grow fruit and, against his father's advice, planted many banana trees. It has paid off handsomely. As other farmers have struggled he has increased his income.

But Nepal as a country needs help adapting to climate change, says Mr Gurung. Its emissions of damaging greenhouse gases are negligible, yet it finds itself on the front line of change.

"Western countries can control their emissions but to mitigate the effects will take a long time. Until then they can help countries like Nepal to adapt. But it means everyone must question the way they live," he says.

समाचार च्यानल: वास्तविक अवस्था

Neel Bahadur Khadka(Facebook note)

अरु मुलुकमा जस्तै केही वर्षदेखि नेपालमा पनि चौबीसै घण्टा समाचार दिने टेलिभिजन च्यानलको सुरुवात भएको छ । नामै किटेर भन्ने हो भने सगरमाथा, एभिन्युज र एबीसी टेलिभिजन समाचार च्यानलका रुपमा साचालनमा छन् । मूलतः यी समाचारमूलक च्यानल हुन् । र यिनीहरुले एउटा खास स्थान पनि बनाइसकेका छन् । अझै समाचारमूलक च्यानलकै रुपमा केही च्यानल थपिने क्रममा छन् । 
नेपालमा समाचारको ठूलो मागमात्र छैन, समाचार हेर्ने र त्यसैअनुसार मत बनाउने बानी पनि बनिसकेको छ । यसमा अरु च्यानलको पनि भूमिका नभएको होइन । तर, भर्खरै खुलेका समाचारमूलक च्यानलको भूमिका अतुलनीय छ । हो, टेलिभिजन संसारकै सबैभन्दा प्रभावकारी माध्यममा पर्छ । तर, अहिले हामी जुन स्रोत, साधन र वातावरणमा काम गरिरहेका छौं, त्यो संस्था विकासका लागि नै बाधक बनिरहेका छन् । 
हुन त छोटो अवधिमै धेरै अपेक्षा गर्न सकिन्न । तर, स्थिति कस्तो छ भने अहिले नै यी च्यानलले कडा प्रतिस्पर्धा गर्नु परिरहेको छ । स्वदेशी च्यानलको मात्र होइन, यिनिहरुले विदेशी च्यानलसँग पनि प्रतिस्पर्धा गर्नु परिरहेको छ । तर, अप्ठयारो कस्तो छ भने यी च्यानलहरु स्वयम सिक्दैछन् । 
यस्तो बेलामा झन कठिन हुन्छ प्रतिस्पर्धा गर्न । तर, नगरी हुन्न प्रतिस्पर्धा । कम्तीमा अस्तित्व रक्षाका लागि नै सही । तर, प्रतिस्पर्धाको कुनै विकल्प छैन । एकातिर आर्थिक अवनति अनि अर्कातिर च्यानल चलाउँदै सिक्दै गर्नुपर्नाको पीडा । नयाँ गाडी किनेर ड्राइभिङ सिक्न थालेको जस्तो । 
हुन त यसरी पनि काम हुन्छ र भइरहेछ । तर कस्तो काम यहानिर ठूलो प्रश्न उठछ । र यहिँनेर हामी सबैले विचार गर्नुपर्छ कि हामी काम कस्तो गर्ने ? काम चलाउ काम गर्ने कि चलाउनका लागि गर्ने ? वा राम्रो काम गर्ने ? निश्चय नै यति सबै 'अप्सन' दिएर सोध्ने हो भने सबैले भन्छन्-हामी राम्रो काम गर्ने । त्यसो भए फेरि हेक्का राख्नुपर्छ राम्रो काम निरपेक्ष ढंगबाट हँुदैन । त्यसका लागि मूल्य चूकाउनु पर्छ । 
दक्ष जनशक्तिबाट मात्र राम्रो कामको अपेक्षा गर्न सकिन्छ । कुनै पनि संस्था कति पुरानो छ भन्ने कुराले अब खासै मतलब राख्दैन, अब कुन संस्थासँग कति अनुभवी मानिस छन् भन्ने कुराले बढी महत्व राख्छ । केही समययता नेपाली च्यानल र तिनमा काम गर्ने कर्मचारी-पत्रकारलाई नियालेर हेर्ने हो भने अत्यन्त कम अनुभवी र आलाकाँचा ब्यक्तिबाट काम लिइरहेको अनुभव गर्न सकिन्छ । कतिपय सन्दर्भमा अरु समाचार माध्यामको तुलनामा अत्यन्त निम्नस्तरीय रिपोर्टिङ भएको पनि हामी पाउँछौं । तर, किन यस्तो भयो भनेर खासै ध्यान दिँदैनौं । जसले गर्दा गल्ती बारम्बार दोहोरिरहन्छ । हाम्रो अत्यन्त सरल मान्यता छ कि 'बुम' समाउन सक्ने मानिस भए पुग्छ रिपोर्टिङका लागि । यो मान्यताले हामीले बारम्बार धोका खाएका छौं र पनि हामीमा चेत आएको छैन । हामी किन यसो गरिरहेका छौं ? के अनुभवहीन मानिस राख्दा हुने थोरै आर्थिक फाइदाले वा 'राम्रो' मान्छेको बदलामा 'हाम्रो' मान्छे राख्नुपर्छ भन्ने बाध्यताले । समाचार निर्माणको आधार नै लंगडो भएपछि समाचार कस्तो बन्ला ? अनुभवहीनबाट स्तरीय रिपोर्टिङको अपेक्षा गर्न सकिन्न । 
यही नियम लागू हुन्छ टेलिभिजनको कार्यक्रम प्रस्तुतकर्ताहरुमा पनि । अब हामीले समाचार 'पढ्ने' होइन समाचार 'भन्ने' वातावरण बनाउनु पर्छ, ताकि दर्शकले सजिलै समाचार पत्याउन् । समाचार अलि भर्खरको मानिसले 'पढेको' भन्दा अलि पाको मानिसले 'भनेको' नै पत्यारिलो हुन्छ, नेपालीबाहेक विदेशी च्यानलले यसै गरेको पाइन्छ । 
यी सबै कामका लागि एउटा असल ब्यवस्थापकले गर्नुपर्ने सबैभन्दा महत्वपूर्ण काम संस्थामा काम गर्ने पत्रकार-कर्मचारीको मनोवल बृद्धि नै हो । आधुनिक जमानामा मानव ब्यवस्थापन सबैभन्दा ठूलो काम हो । पत्रकार-कर्मचारीको मनोवल उच्च छ वा छैन भन्ने कुराको निक्र्यौल ती संस्थाको कामबाटै थाह हुन्छ । कुनै संस्था माथि आउने र कुनै पछि पर्नुको कारण के हो कुनै संस्थाको पत्रकार 'हसिला' र 'उच्च मनोवल' भएका देखिने अनि कुनै संस्थाको पत्रकार हेर्दै 'विरक्तलाग्दो' देख्नुको कारण के हो ? पत्रकार कर्मचारी खुसी हुनु भनेको काममा गुणात्मक प्रगतिमात्र होइन, त्यो संस्थाको इज्जत बाहिर पनि राम्रो हुनु हो ।
