Fund raising and Clothes Collection for Flood Victims in Terai Region

Major part of the Terai was filled with water during July/August 2007 due to the continuous rain for days and even weeks. Many people, institution, organization and other contributed a lot through cash and the cloths. In same scenario, we Lion and Leo Club of Kathmandu Mahankal along with OCEED organized a joint fund raising and cloth collection for them. We started our program from the Bouddha at around 9:30 am. We collected around Rs 6693 through the door to door visit of most of the house and shops of Bouddha and Jorpati. Moreover we also collected 28-30 huge sacks of clothes. We handed the Cash to the Kantipur Publication and clothes were handed to the Image channel. You can view the pictures below:

The new national anthem penned by Byakul Maila with Amber Gurung's music composition.

A cabinet meeting had approved Gurung's composition for the national anthem. Of the half a dozen compositions submitted to the cabinet for final selection – three by Gurung, and others by Nhyoo Bajracharya and Nepali Army (NA) – the cabinet selected Gurung's creation.

The new national anthem – written by Byakul Maila – will replace the "Shreeman Gambhir…" anthem, which was criticised for being merely a eulogy of monarchy. The earlier anthem was written by poet Chakrapani Chalise.

With the above song get the lyrics too:


सयौं थुँगा फूलका हामी एउटै माला नेपाली
सार्वभौम भई फैलिएका मेची- महाकाली।

सयौं थुँगा फूलका हामी एउटै माला नेपाली
सार्वभौम भई फैलिएका मेची- महाकाली।

प्रकृतिका कोटीकोटी सम्पदाको आँचल
वीरहरुका रगतले स्वतन्त्र र अटल

ज्ञानभूमि शान्तभूमि तराइ पहाड हिमाल
अखण्ड यो प्यारो हाम्रो मातृभूमि नेपाल

बहुल जाति भाषा धर्म संस्कृति छन् विशाल
अग्रगामी राष्ट्र हाम्रो जय जय नेपाल।
