IDEATHON WINNERS
Food security is a global concern with significant implications for nations, social harmony, and long-term economic progress. Nepal, like many countries, faces challenges related to climate change, soil degradation, water scarcity, population growth, and limited land resources, which threaten its ability to produce sufficient food. This idea aims to address these challenges by developing a crop yield prediction model to enhance agricultural planning in rural areas of Nepal.
Rafting in Bhotekoshi
Participating in an exhilarating adventure, I ventured for a second time to the Bhotekoshi River for an unforgettable rafting experience. This thrilling excursion came after a hiatus of three years since completing grade twelve. The rush of navigating the rapids and feeling the pulse of the river electrified my senses, reaffirming my love for water sports. As someone who has recently embraced a passion for aquatic activities, this rafting trip was not only a thrilling escapade but also a reaffirmation of my adventurous spirit and appreciation for the beauty of nature’s challenges.
My first tapari (Leaves bowl)
I learned the art of crafting a tapari from my grandmother. This traditional leaf bowl, integral to Hindu ceremonies and occasions, carries with it a sense of cultural heritage and familial connection. With patient guidance and cherished memories shared by my grandmother, I carefully molded and shaped the leaves, imbuing each fold and crease with a profound sense of reverence and tradition.
