National Journalism Day - Nepal

Dwarika Shrestha·Thursday, March 3, 2016

It was good to know that the Nepal Government has announced the 24th of Baisakh as the day for 'The National Journalism Day' in Nepal. 24th of Baisakh was the day when

'Gorkhapatra', weekly was initiated in Nepal with a new vision of Journalism in the country 115 yrs. ago. The remarkable announcement of the Government to observe the day as 'The National Journalism Day' not only encouraged the working journalists but also paid a good respect to the fellow journalists and the profession of journalism in the country. To the people like me who spent half of the total career ( The Rising Nepal, daily - 19 yrs; Gorkhapatra, daily - 1year and Adm. wing 2 yrs. under the umbrella of Gorkhapatra) the announcement has become a matter of great pride. Journalism is my Pride. Thanks to the Government !!!
