““The whole fashion scene, with models in different roles from runway to billboards, will gradually style a a vibrant consumerism and upscale advertising. Fashion

The first power plant in Nepal was built at pharping 1910. The 500 kW  plant was built by the Rana prime Minister Chandra Shumsher to supply power to kathmandu’s elite.

Ironically a country with a tremendous potential of hydropower, still suffers for electricity, with power cuts having reached upto 16 hours a day in the recent past.
