Do we all envision of better Nepal? A big question!! Who is going to make real New Nepal? The obvious answers we get from general people would be, “The Government”. Though they are right to some extent but not hundred percent. Every individual from all the sectors should contribute o make our country developed and progressive one. But, unfortunately we are always looking towards government, we want it to be active and carry out developmental activities. There is no doubt that the government being the primary responsible agency to make country developed however one should not forget that citizens are also equally responsible towards their nation.If we really want to see changed and developed Nepal first we need to become pro active and start thinking on possible ways that we can contribute from our side to make Nepal really New looking. Yatra, a youth led organization has now started working with youth encouraging pro activism in social issues. Yatra defines pro activism as not looking towards any body to solve your problem or towards making your place beautiful rather being self motivated to change or improve it. Youth themselves should vision their future and should work towards achieving it. They should not wait any one else to make their vision achieved. In the initial phase Yatra is working on making youth understand their responsibilities. They are reminded for the small things that they can do to make their place beautiful. Now we need to be creative and prove that Nepalese are capable of making New Nepal.
Similarly different organizations have started doing several pro active works to make New Nepal. We all know Kathmandu valley has been facing different kind of pollution, visual pollution is one of the pollutions that we are facing and the issue is not taken into the consideration at all. Kathmandu valley is loosing its aesthetic value due to the Advertisement boards (hoarding boards) placed without planning and with no control. However, one organization has started to use billboard for giving social message at the heart of Kathmandu, their work is really very appreciable. By the means of creative art they are giving social messages using billboards. Usually billboards are used for the commercial purpose, but this time and I think first time ever in Nepal the concept has been implemented where the commercial place and tools are used for giving the social message. While walking down the street from Singhdurbar to Putalisadak chowk one can observe many commercial billboard, on the same street, these days we can observe one billboard giving different message. I suggest my readers to visit the place and find the different billboard and send your suggestion and feedback to mailto:lasanaa07@20gmail.com and if you want to find more details about this initiation please check http://www.differentvoices.org/.
