			'summary' => 'May 22: Nepal Housing and Land Developers Association has announced to organise the 7th NLHDA Property Expo 2018 at Bhrikuti Mandap in Kathmandu from June 15-19. ',
			'content' => '<p>May 22: Nepal Housing and Land Developers Association has announced to organise the 7<sup>th</sup> NLHDA Property Expo 2018 at Bhrikuti Mandap in Kathmandu from June 15-19. The annual NLHDA Property Expo 2018 is organized by Nepal Housing and Land Developers Association, which is the apex industry body representing housing and land developers in Nepal.</p>

<p>The NLHDA Property Expo 2018 is a one-stop solution to the entire eco-system of the housing and land development sector of Nepal. While the core focus of the expo is on the real estate market and home buyers in Nepal, the event will cover the entire gamut of housing sector such as commercial and business property, architecture, construction, building, engineering, habitat environment among others, the organiser said in a statement.</p>

<p>According to NLHDA, the property expo is being organised in recognition of the tremendous growth in the housing market and its dominant role in the Nepalese economy.</p>

<p>&quot;Housing is also a fundamental socio-civic issue that has critical ramifications in politics and economy of Nepal. Real estate which includes residential homes, commercial properties, and farms is the largest component of the wealth of individual investors. Investment in housing accounts for 15-35 percent of aggregate investment. It is estimated that more than Rs 400 billion is now invested in real estate,&quot; reads the statement.</p>

<p>The organiser claimed that the housing market has been rebounding and has held steady growth ever since the 2015 earthquake.</p>

<p>&quot;Housing being a basic need for people, the perception of housing as a sound investment and the fast urbanization driven by rural migration to cities have all contributed to the organic growth of the housing and construction sector. Industry experts agree that Kathmandu valley accounts for 42 percent of the organized real estate sector and that the present annual national demand for houses and apartments is around 140,000 units, whereas Nepal is only able to construct 25,000 units per year. The real estate sector is recently thriving on around 200 percent growth despite the steep rise in land prices, which has been increasing at 40 to 50 percent and in housing construction, which has been increasing by 20 to 30 percent annually,&quot; the statement further said.</p>

<p>NLHDA said that the mushrooming housing market has presented tremendous opportunities to the industry which in turn are also overwhelming and complex challenges. According to NLHDA, urbanization is growing at a rapid rate of almost 39 percent, increasing the number of municipalities from 58 in 2011 to 217 to 2016. By 2023, 900,000 new constructions will be required to meet the demand for 1,364,000 homes nationally. Thus, it is against this socio-economic backdrop that NLHD Property Expo hopes to facilitate investment, production and transactions in the housing sector through interactions and networking so those opportunities can be consummated and the challenges met in the years to come.</p>

<p>The NLHDA Property Expo will host about 150 exhibitors covering an exhibition area of about 6000 sq meters both indoors and outdoors. Notable exhibits and exhibitors include commercial and building premises, interior design services, engineering firms, building and landscape architect firms, real estate agents, property developers and builder, building material suppliers and distributors, construction tools and equipment producers and dealers, banks and financial institutions, furniture and furnishings, ceramics, glass, wood, stone, sanitary ware, iron and steel, cement, lighting and electrical fixtures, paints, solar energy and waste management.</p>

			'content' => '<p>May 22: The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the Ministry of Forests and Environment on Monday (May 21) signed an agreement to help vulnerable communities in the Karnali region of Nepal for protecting their crops and livelihoods from climate variability and extremes.</p>

<p>The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Adaption Fund is contributing US$9.5 million to assist vulnerable people in Karnali by diversifying and strengthening the management of livelihoods over a four-year period through supporting income-generation projects and training for farmers, WFP said in a statement.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Villages in many parts of the Karnali region rely on marginal, unproductive land without irrigation, which cannot produce enough food for its people. Changing weather patterns have further worsened agricultural production for those living in Karnali,&rdquo; said Shakti Bahadur Basnet, minister for forests and environment. &ldquo;This contribution is important in order to increase adaptive capacity of climate vulnerable people and those with very little access to food,&rdquo; he concluded.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the recent years, Nepal&rsquo;s food production has been affected by climate-related hazards, including droughts, landslides, floods and hailstorms.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no question that people living in Nepal&rsquo;s Himalayas are feeling the impact of climate change. The average temperature globally is now rising at a rate of almost one degree Celsius per decade and weather patterns across Nepal are changing,&rdquo; said Pippa Bradford, WFP Nepal representative and country director. &ldquo;It is imperative to work with farmers and villagers to protect and preserve their environment,&rdquo; she added.</p>

<p>The government-owned Nepal Food Security Monitoring System (NeKSAP) has reported recurrent natural calamities in mountain districts in Karnali and Province 7. The region saw bad winter droughts in 2006, 2009 and 2016, with serious consequences for food security. In 2016 alone, nearly 150,000 people in those areas experienced high levels of food insecurity and required humanitarian assistance. The region also experienced a dry spell during the 2017/2018 winter.</p>

			'content' => '<p>May 22: Nepal Housing and Land Developers Association has announced to organise the 7<sup>th</sup> NLHDA Property Expo 2018 at Bhrikuti Mandap in Kathmandu from June 15-19. The annual NLHDA Property Expo 2018 is organized by Nepal Housing and Land Developers Association, which is the apex industry body representing housing and land developers in Nepal.</p>

<p>The NLHDA Property Expo 2018 is a one-stop solution to the entire eco-system of the housing and land development sector of Nepal. While the core focus of the expo is on the real estate market and home buyers in Nepal, the event will cover the entire gamut of housing sector such as commercial and business property, architecture, construction, building, engineering, habitat environment among others, the organiser said in a statement.</p>

<p>According to NLHDA, the property expo is being organised in recognition of the tremendous growth in the housing market and its dominant role in the Nepalese economy.</p>

<p>&quot;Housing is also a fundamental socio-civic issue that has critical ramifications in politics and economy of Nepal. Real estate which includes residential homes, commercial properties, and farms is the largest component of the wealth of individual investors. Investment in housing accounts for 15-35 percent of aggregate investment. It is estimated that more than Rs 400 billion is now invested in real estate,&quot; reads the statement.</p>

<p>The organiser claimed that the housing market has been rebounding and has held steady growth ever since the 2015 earthquake.</p>

<p>&quot;Housing being a basic need for people, the perception of housing as a sound investment and the fast urbanization driven by rural migration to cities have all contributed to the organic growth of the housing and construction sector. Industry experts agree that Kathmandu valley accounts for 42 percent of the organized real estate sector and that the present annual national demand for houses and apartments is around 140,000 units, whereas Nepal is only able to construct 25,000 units per year. The real estate sector is recently thriving on around 200 percent growth despite the steep rise in land prices, which has been increasing at 40 to 50 percent and in housing construction, which has been increasing by 20 to 30 percent annually,&quot; the statement further said.</p>

<p>NLHDA said that the mushrooming housing market has presented tremendous opportunities to the industry which in turn are also overwhelming and complex challenges. According to NLHDA, urbanization is growing at a rapid rate of almost 39 percent, increasing the number of municipalities from 58 in 2011 to 217 to 2016. By 2023, 900,000 new constructions will be required to meet the demand for 1,364,000 homes nationally. Thus, it is against this socio-economic backdrop that NLHD Property Expo hopes to facilitate investment, production and transactions in the housing sector through interactions and networking so those opportunities can be consummated and the challenges met in the years to come.</p>

<p>The NLHDA Property Expo will host about 150 exhibitors covering an exhibition area of about 6000 sq meters both indoors and outdoors. Notable exhibits and exhibitors include commercial and building premises, interior design services, engineering firms, building and landscape architect firms, real estate agents, property developers and builder, building material suppliers and distributors, construction tools and equipment producers and dealers, banks and financial institutions, furniture and furnishings, ceramics, glass, wood, stone, sanitary ware, iron and steel, cement, lighting and electrical fixtures, paints, solar energy and waste management.</p>

			'content' => '<p>May 22: The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and the Ministry of Forests and Environment on Monday (May 21) signed an agreement to help vulnerable communities in the Karnali region of Nepal for protecting their crops and livelihoods from climate variability and extremes.</p>

<p>The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Adaption Fund is contributing US$9.5 million to assist vulnerable people in Karnali by diversifying and strengthening the management of livelihoods over a four-year period through supporting income-generation projects and training for farmers, WFP said in a statement.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Villages in many parts of the Karnali region rely on marginal, unproductive land without irrigation, which cannot produce enough food for its people. Changing weather patterns have further worsened agricultural production for those living in Karnali,&rdquo; said Shakti Bahadur Basnet, minister for forests and environment. &ldquo;This contribution is important in order to increase adaptive capacity of climate vulnerable people and those with very little access to food,&rdquo; he concluded.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the recent years, Nepal&rsquo;s food production has been affected by climate-related hazards, including droughts, landslides, floods and hailstorms.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no question that people living in Nepal&rsquo;s Himalayas are feeling the impact of climate change. The average temperature globally is now rising at a rate of almost one degree Celsius per decade and weather patterns across Nepal are changing,&rdquo; said Pippa Bradford, WFP Nepal representative and country director. &ldquo;It is imperative to work with farmers and villagers to protect and preserve their environment,&rdquo; she added.</p>

<p>The government-owned Nepal Food Security Monitoring System (NeKSAP) has reported recurrent natural calamities in mountain districts in Karnali and Province 7. The region saw bad winter droughts in 2006, 2009 and 2016, with serious consequences for food security. In 2016 alone, nearly 150,000 people in those areas experienced high levels of food insecurity and required humanitarian assistance. The region also experienced a dry spell during the 2017/2018 winter.</p>

<p>Cabs owned by Sarathi do not charge extra fare with passengers but follow the government guidelines while operating the taxis on meter, said Ravi Singhal, co-founder of Sarathi, during the last session of X-preneur organised by Clock B Business Innovations at Kaffee Codes, Thapathali on May 20.</p>

<p>&ldquo;It was very difficult for us to gain the trust of the market when we first stepped into the market. &nbsp;However, now the demand for Sarathi cab is getting very high among the people,&rdquo; said Singhal.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Sarathi cab has been beneficial to passengers as it gives ride to the passengers on meter rather than by bargaining. This initiation of ours has been helping us get very good feedback from many people who had to go through lot of bargaining to ride,&rdquo; Singhal shared.</p>

<p>As a young entrepreneur, he also shared that the youths should learn about financial management since their student life to become a successful entrepreneur. &nbsp;</p>

			'content' => '<p>May 22: Nepal Housing and Land Developers Association has announced to organise the 7<sup>th</sup> NLHDA Property Expo 2018 at Bhrikuti Mandap in Kathmandu from June 15-19. The annual NLHDA Property Expo 2018 is organized by Nepal Housing and Land Developers Association, which is the apex industry body representing housing and land developers in Nepal.</p>

<p>The NLHDA Property Expo 2018 is a one-stop solution to the entire eco-system of the housing and land development sector of Nepal. While the core focus of the expo is on the real estate market and home buyers in Nepal, the event will cover the entire gamut of housing sector such as commercial and business property, architecture, construction, building, engineering, habitat environment among others, the organiser said in a statement.</p>

<p>According to NLHDA, the property expo is being organised in recognition of the tremendous growth in the housing market and its dominant role in the Nepalese economy.</p>

<p>&quot;Housing is also a fundamental socio-civic issue that has critical ramifications in politics and economy of Nepal. Real estate which includes residential homes, commercial properties, and farms is the largest component of the wealth of individual investors. Investment in housing accounts for 15-35 percent of aggregate investment. It is estimated that more than Rs 400 billion is now invested in real estate,&quot; reads the statement.</p>

<p>The organiser claimed that the housing market has been rebounding and has held steady growth ever since the 2015 earthquake.</p>

<p>&quot;Housing being a basic need for people, the perception of housing as a sound investment and the fast urbanization driven by rural migration to cities have all contributed to the organic growth of the housing and construction sector. Industry experts agree that Kathmandu valley accounts for 42 percent of the organized real estate sector and that the present annual national demand for houses and apartments is around 140,000 units, whereas Nepal is only able to construct 25,000 units per year. The real estate sector is recently thriving on around 200 percent growth despite the steep rise in land prices, which has been increasing at 40 to 50 percent and in housing construction, which has been increasing by 20 to 30 percent annually,&quot; the statement further said.</p>

<p>NLHDA said that the mushrooming housing market has presented tremendous opportunities to the industry which in turn are also overwhelming and complex challenges. According to NLHDA, urbanization is growing at a rapid rate of almost 39 percent, increasing the number of municipalities from 58 in 2011 to 217 to 2016. By 2023, 900,000 new constructions will be required to meet the demand for 1,364,000 homes nationally. Thus, it is against this socio-economic backdrop that NLHD Property Expo hopes to facilitate investment, production and transactions in the housing sector through interactions and networking so those opportunities can be consummated and the challenges met in the years to come.</p>

<p>The NLHDA Property Expo will host about 150 exhibitors covering an exhibition area of about 6000 sq meters both indoors and outdoors. Notable exhibits and exhibitors include commercial and building premises, interior design services, engineering firms, building and landscape architect firms, real estate agents, property developers and builder, building material suppliers and distributors, construction tools and equipment producers and dealers, banks and financial institutions, furniture and furnishings, ceramics, glass, wood, stone, sanitary ware, iron and steel, cement, lighting and electrical fixtures, paints, solar energy and waste management.</p>

<p>The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Adaption Fund is contributing US$9.5 million to assist vulnerable people in Karnali by diversifying and strengthening the management of livelihoods over a four-year period through supporting income-generation projects and training for farmers, WFP said in a statement.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Villages in many parts of the Karnali region rely on marginal, unproductive land without irrigation, which cannot produce enough food for its people. Changing weather patterns have further worsened agricultural production for those living in Karnali,&rdquo; said Shakti Bahadur Basnet, minister for forests and environment. &ldquo;This contribution is important in order to increase adaptive capacity of climate vulnerable people and those with very little access to food,&rdquo; he concluded.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the recent years, Nepal&rsquo;s food production has been affected by climate-related hazards, including droughts, landslides, floods and hailstorms.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no question that people living in Nepal&rsquo;s Himalayas are feeling the impact of climate change. The average temperature globally is now rising at a rate of almost one degree Celsius per decade and weather patterns across Nepal are changing,&rdquo; said Pippa Bradford, WFP Nepal representative and country director. &ldquo;It is imperative to work with farmers and villagers to protect and preserve their environment,&rdquo; she added.</p>

<p>The government-owned Nepal Food Security Monitoring System (NeKSAP) has reported recurrent natural calamities in mountain districts in Karnali and Province 7. The region saw bad winter droughts in 2006, 2009 and 2016, with serious consequences for food security. In 2016 alone, nearly 150,000 people in those areas experienced high levels of food insecurity and required humanitarian assistance. The region also experienced a dry spell during the 2017/2018 winter.</p>

			'content' => '<p>May 22: Nepal Housing and Land Developers Association has announced to organise the 7<sup>th</sup> NLHDA Property Expo 2018 at Bhrikuti Mandap in Kathmandu from June 15-19. The annual NLHDA Property Expo 2018 is organized by Nepal Housing and Land Developers Association, which is the apex industry body representing housing and land developers in Nepal.</p>

<p>The NLHDA Property Expo 2018 is a one-stop solution to the entire eco-system of the housing and land development sector of Nepal. While the core focus of the expo is on the real estate market and home buyers in Nepal, the event will cover the entire gamut of housing sector such as commercial and business property, architecture, construction, building, engineering, habitat environment among others, the organiser said in a statement.</p>

<p>According to NLHDA, the property expo is being organised in recognition of the tremendous growth in the housing market and its dominant role in the Nepalese economy.</p>

<p>&quot;Housing is also a fundamental socio-civic issue that has critical ramifications in politics and economy of Nepal. Real estate which includes residential homes, commercial properties, and farms is the largest component of the wealth of individual investors. Investment in housing accounts for 15-35 percent of aggregate investment. It is estimated that more than Rs 400 billion is now invested in real estate,&quot; reads the statement.</p>

<p>The organiser claimed that the housing market has been rebounding and has held steady growth ever since the 2015 earthquake.</p>

<p>&quot;Housing being a basic need for people, the perception of housing as a sound investment and the fast urbanization driven by rural migration to cities have all contributed to the organic growth of the housing and construction sector. Industry experts agree that Kathmandu valley accounts for 42 percent of the organized real estate sector and that the present annual national demand for houses and apartments is around 140,000 units, whereas Nepal is only able to construct 25,000 units per year. The real estate sector is recently thriving on around 200 percent growth despite the steep rise in land prices, which has been increasing at 40 to 50 percent and in housing construction, which has been increasing by 20 to 30 percent annually,&quot; the statement further said.</p>

<p>NLHDA said that the mushrooming housing market has presented tremendous opportunities to the industry which in turn are also overwhelming and complex challenges. According to NLHDA, urbanization is growing at a rapid rate of almost 39 percent, increasing the number of municipalities from 58 in 2011 to 217 to 2016. By 2023, 900,000 new constructions will be required to meet the demand for 1,364,000 homes nationally. Thus, it is against this socio-economic backdrop that NLHD Property Expo hopes to facilitate investment, production and transactions in the housing sector through interactions and networking so those opportunities can be consummated and the challenges met in the years to come.</p>

<p>The NLHDA Property Expo will host about 150 exhibitors covering an exhibition area of about 6000 sq meters both indoors and outdoors. Notable exhibits and exhibitors include commercial and building premises, interior design services, engineering firms, building and landscape architect firms, real estate agents, property developers and builder, building material suppliers and distributors, construction tools and equipment producers and dealers, banks and financial institutions, furniture and furnishings, ceramics, glass, wood, stone, sanitary ware, iron and steel, cement, lighting and electrical fixtures, paints, solar energy and waste management.</p>

<p>The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Adaption Fund is contributing US$9.5 million to assist vulnerable people in Karnali by diversifying and strengthening the management of livelihoods over a four-year period through supporting income-generation projects and training for farmers, WFP said in a statement.</p>

<p>&ldquo;Villages in many parts of the Karnali region rely on marginal, unproductive land without irrigation, which cannot produce enough food for its people. Changing weather patterns have further worsened agricultural production for those living in Karnali,&rdquo; said Shakti Bahadur Basnet, minister for forests and environment. &ldquo;This contribution is important in order to increase adaptive capacity of climate vulnerable people and those with very little access to food,&rdquo; he concluded.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the recent years, Nepal&rsquo;s food production has been affected by climate-related hazards, including droughts, landslides, floods and hailstorms.</p>

<p>&nbsp;&ldquo;There&rsquo;s no question that people living in Nepal&rsquo;s Himalayas are feeling the impact of climate change. The average temperature globally is now rising at a rate of almost one degree Celsius per decade and weather patterns across Nepal are changing,&rdquo; said Pippa Bradford, WFP Nepal representative and country director. &ldquo;It is imperative to work with farmers and villagers to protect and preserve their environment,&rdquo; she added.</p>

<p>The government-owned Nepal Food Security Monitoring System (NeKSAP) has reported recurrent natural calamities in mountain districts in Karnali and Province 7. The region saw bad winter droughts in 2006, 2009 and 2016, with serious consequences for food security. In 2016 alone, nearly 150,000 people in those areas experienced high levels of food insecurity and required humanitarian assistance. The region also experienced a dry spell during the 2017/2018 winter.</p>
