MADHAV BELBASE: The Father Of TBM In Nepal
With his proven technical experience and risk-taking capacity, while trying new technology, Madhav Belbase, has done a service to the nation by advocating for Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) Technology in Bheri-Babai and Sunkosi-Marin Diversion projects. The Melamchi project was delayed for almost a decade due to the technical obstructions in the tunnel boring of the first phase. Now TBM can be a game-changer to avoid the delay in the second phase, given its successful use in Bheri-Babai in terms of time and cost. Coincidently, Belbase, who is known as the father of TBM in Nepal, is now the secretary of the ministry which looks at the Melamchi Project

Energy That Transforms
Practical Action Nepal, which has been working to increase the access of energy to the women and marginalized communities in different parts of Nepal, has shown that energy can transform the livelihood, health and economic conditions of people. With its vision, Prosperous Nepal and Happy Nepali, the government has also announced several inclusive programs and policies to increase access to energy and use it for broader economic development targeting marginalized communities and women. Started since 2010, Poor People's Energy Outlook (PPEO), Practical Action’s flagship publication, has been raising issues of universal access to energy, ensuring the participation of the poor in the total energy process. Given all these circumstances, the newly constituted Electricity Regulatory Commission (ERC) has taken PPEO’s bottom-up approach ensuring participation of Community Rural Electricity Entities (CREEs), women and marginalized groups in fixing the new tariff. With this new process, the rights of community-based institutions, women and the marginalized have been established in fixing energy tariff. However, there is still a long way to go to ensure broader participation, transparency and accountability in the planning to bring complete transformation in the livelihood of people through energy

NEA A Tale Of Transformation
In the history of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), the last four years have been a period of progress and achievement. The utility took the country from a state of darkness to light. From being virtually bankrupt, NEA rose to become the highest profit-making public utility. Although support and backing from all concerned were necessary for the progress, Managing Director Kul Man Ghising showed his individual capacity, commitment, dedication and collaborative approach to work in a team and made this virtually impossible transformation possible. With constant support and backing from his colleagues, MD Ghising, a man from a remote Tamang village of Ramechhap district, showed hope taking root for a transformation that did not seem possible earlier
