Mutual Funds


Mutual funds are financial funds that provide individual investors with the opportunity to pool their money together and invest "mutually" in stocks, bonds, and other securities. As an investor in a mutual fund, one does not directly own stocks but shares equally in the overall gains or losses of the fund's holdings.

Features of Mutual Funds:

  1. Mutual funds are managed by professional financial managers who are responsible for investing in various securities with the goal of achieving optimal returns.
  2. They are traded based on their net asset value (NAV) at the time of closing.
  3. Any investor in a mutual fund is entitled to share in both profits and losses.
  4. Mutual funds offer a systematic approach with diversified investment strategies.

Types of Mutual Funds

There are two types of mutual funds:

  1. Open-End Mutual Funds
  2. Closed-End Mutual Funds

Open-End Mutual Funds

Open-end mutual funds issue units to investors based on the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV), which is calculated daily. These funds do not have a fixed maturity period. Investors can easily buy or sell units from the fund management company at the NAV price. Open-end mutual funds also offer Systematic Investment Plans (SIP) for regular investments.

Closed-End Mutual Funds

Closed-end mutual funds have a fixed maturity period and are traded on the stock exchange. The maturity period of these funds typically ranges from 3 to 15 years. Investors can initially subscribe to these funds during their Initial Public Offering (IPO) and later buy or sell units on the stock exchange based on market demand and supply, similar to stocks.

Road infrastructure: A stone age in Nepal


There isn’t even an example in the country of what the standard of a national highway should be.

The media and politicians make a fuss, claiming that a road has been connected to the network just because a bulldozer passed through.

For how long will our definition of a paved road remain just applying a layer of black coating?

National highways are in such fragile condition that there isn’t even a single example in the country to set a benchmark.

Either our representatives only focus on digging roads, or they have no idea about what road standards should be.

We are still in the Stone Age when it comes to road infrastructure—talking about railways and water transport is nothing but a daydream.


Look What a Joke!!

Even Google says that to Travel from Kathmandu to Dadeldhura, home town of waiting PM Sher Bahadur Dewa, the 777Km road within Nepal takes similar time compared to 920 KM through Indian Highway.

The sons of kings vs. the sons of today’s political leaders.


The eldest son destined to be king received an education tailored for leadership—diplomacy, strategy, and governance were all taught to him. His upbringing was entirely different from that of other family members, ensuring he was well-prepared to rule the nation.

But today, leaders who entered the capital wearing cheap, worn-out sandals are behaving like a beggar who, upon receiving a banana, eats it whole with the peel. Some of their own children have already left the country, believing that their fathers’ politics won’t build a nation. Those who remain are either involved in smuggling or gang activities because their fathers failed to guide them. The so-called revolutionary leaders who once vowed to change the country couldn’t even set their own children on the right path—so how can they be expected to lead a nation?

Some suggestions for amend of the constitution to the current alliance between Congress and UML.

The current alliance between Congress and UML includes an agreement to amend the constitution.

Nepal's current government and parliamentary structure appear to be quite expensive and extensive. After the formation of provincial and local governments, many public services and structures were supposed to be decentralized and handed down accordingly. However, this has not been effectively implemented. To align with the spirit of the constitution and to strengthen federalism while maximizing efficiency, some adjustments to the central government and parliament seem essential. Therefore, the following proposals have been put forward to restructure the current system:

1. One District, One Representative

Parliamentarians are meant to formulate policies, not engage in development work. Each district should have just one representative.
There is no need for absentee parliamentarians who merely sign attendance for allowances but fail to meet the quorum during sessions.

  • MPs receive salaries for being in office.
  • They receive additional meeting allowances for attending parliamentary sessions.
  • If attending the parliament is their main job, why is there a separate allowance for it? Strange!
  • Moreover, some just sign in and leave, yet still claim allowances, while the parliament struggles to meet quorum.
  • How long will we keep electing such irresponsible representatives?

Furthermore, the rationale behind proportional representation seats must be clarified to the public, as they are often misused to bring in wives, children, brothers-in-law, contractors, and businessmen into parliament.

2. 8-10 Ministries

To strengthen federalism, local and provincial governments should be given responsibility for implementing projects within their respective areas, while the federal government should focus only on national priority projects. Therefore, the current 20-22 ministries at the federal level could be reduced to 8-10.

Additionally, ministers should be appointed only from MPs with relevant experience and qualifications in their respective ministries. This would reduce the race for ministerial positions and help MPs focus more on parliamentary duties.

3. An Expert and Inclusive National Assembly

Since elected parliamentary bodies may lack representation from subject-matter expertslaw-making processes should include experienced professionals from various fields.

To address this, a 50-member National Assembly should be formed, including experts with a minimum educational qualification or at least 8-10 years of professional experience, ensuring inclusive representation.

Additionally, to reduce the number of VIP positions, the Vice President should also serve as the Chairperson of the National Assembly.
