Tatastha Tarka: नयाँ नेपाल.... नयाँ आवाज

Just came back from a group discussion regarding the launch of a new program that will be aired in Kantipur Television soon enough. The program titled Tatastha tarka:Naya Nepal...Naya Awaz will cater mostly to the youth and its objective will be Engaging Youth in peace Process Issues Through TV Talk process in Nepal.
Being part of the Youth community myself, i can clearly say that Politics does not really interests me as much as other things mostly because its very hard to understand. Forget about Youth even the so called "grown up people" have a hard time gripping Nepali politics. From what was discussed at today's agenda, the program not only aims to give youth(and everyone else) knowledge on various political issues but its will also provide a platform for youth having interest in politics and overall development of the country to speak their mind and talk on behalf of a whole demographic of people.
For its current 25 episode run, it will emphasize more on the Constituent Assembly(CA), since its the major talk of the town right now and many people(including me) still have very little or no clue as to what it really is.
There are some political shows presently airing on various Nepali channels but i guess this is the first attempt at incorporating youth at this level. It sounds really nice and if it delivers as to what it promises then it will of course do some good. Also, talking about the show itself it will be half an hour long, every Sunday at 9 pm on Kantipur Television. The show will comprise of two hosts, two political/constitutional/election experts, two celebrities and two youths who will be chosen through a prior essay competition every week. The hosts are Mr. Jay Nishaant and Ms. Malvika Subba.
So, look out for this program in coming weeks. For those wanting to find out about the political situation here in terms of youth, i think this program will serve its purpose. I think its time youth should be more politically aware if not politically active. Although, the latter would be best. Only after we comprehend the situation can we strive to make a change for the better.
