FM Dr. Arzu Rana Deuba’s India Visit: Strengthening Diplomatic Ties
Through skillful management and careful articulation of the prevailing issues between Nepal and India, Foreign Minister Dr. Arzu Rana Deuba successfully completed her inaugural mid-term official visit to India, a close neighbor of Nepal. This visit was particularly timely, coinciding with significant unrest in Bangladesh that led to the ousting of a secular prime minister, alongside rising mob violence against minority Hindus and temples, which posed security concerns for both Nepal and India and raised the potential for a large-scale refugee crisis. India's decision to permit the export of 251 MW of electricity from Nepal reflects a positive gesture in response to Dr. Rana's visit.

NEA’S 39Th Anniversary: Kul Man Ghising, A Cool Man
For seven years, Kul Man Ghising has served as the Managing Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), during which he has significantly revitalized Nepal's electricity sector, ensuring that electricity is both affordable and reliable. Under his leadership, the NEA has successfully eliminated long-standing load shedding issues and has made substantial advancements in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity across the nation over the past eight years. One of his most notable accomplishments is transforming Nepal from a net importer of electricity to a net exporter, achieving an annual profit of Rs. 12 billion. Despite facing provocations, character attacks, and pressures from both known and unknown adversaries, MD Ghising has consistently demonstrated composure and professionalism. In a recent press conference attended by 300 journalists and broadcast live with over 200 cameras, he exemplified humility and respect, expressing gratitude to Prime Ministers, Ministers, senior officials, and his entire NEA team for their collective achievements. As the NEA commemorates its 39th anniversary on August 17, MD Ghising, who has turned a loss of Rs. 34.61 billion into a cumulative profit of Rs. 47.41 billion last year, continues to embody the qualities of a distinguished leader in a challenging environment
