Background: Although there has been a significant interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) in recent years, there is lack of adequate studies regarding the status of CSR practices in Nepal. The existing studies generally suffer from the narrow conceptualization of CSR, focus on selected companies or industry sector only and from the relatively small sample size. Objectives: This paper aims to identify the status of CSR practices in the Nepalese context. Methods: This study uses questionnaire survey method by taking a sample of 168 listed companies of Nepal representing diverse industry sectors. Descriptive statistics, one-way ANNOVA and t-test have been used to analyze the collected data. Results: The overall status of CSR practices in Nepal is above the moderate level. The most common CSR practices in Nepal relate to corporate governance as well as customers whereas the least common CSR practices include environment and community related activities. Likewise, level of CSR practices is significantly higher among large firms compared to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). However, there is no significant difference on the status of CSR practices between banking sector and non-banking sector firms. Conclusions: While the overall status of CSR practices in Nepal is above the moderate level, Nepalese companies are not paying adequate attention on community and environment related issues. The results also indicate that size of the firm tend to affect the level of CSR practices in the Nepalese context though the difference on CSR practices between small and medium sized firms is not statistically significant. Implications: The government and policy makers may consider giving tax exemption or any other clearly spelled out incentives particularly to the environment and community related CSR activities. Likewise, managers and other stakeholders including the government may focus on identifying and overcoming the barriers for CSR practices among SMEs in Nepal.

Not only does it have an impact on the economy, but this also has an impact on the capital market. The President's announcement regarding the development of the Covid-19 vaccine provides hope for the economy and capital market to revive. The state-owned pharmaceutical company appointed by the government has also benefited from vaccine development. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the share price of BUMN Pharmaceutical Companies before and after the development of the corona virus vaccine (Covid-19). The data analysis technique used in this study was the Paired sample t-test. The results showed that (1) the stock price of KAEF before the announcement of vaccine development and the stock price of KAEF after the announcement of vaccine development was a significant difference and (2) the stock price of INAF before the announcement of vaccine development and the stock price of INAF after the announcement of vaccine development had a significant difference.


With the rapid advancements in technology, our lives have become completely digitalised. We sit in the comfort of our home, and carry out our day-to-day activities like grocery shopping, education, banking, through the Internet. However, this has given rise to several threats to our security, called the cyber-crime which has become a global concern. Cybercrimes affect the lives of millions of people all around the world, including businesses, organisations and governments of different nations. This paper aims to determine the association between cybercrime awareness and the age, and to identify the difference between main cause of cybercrime and the gender. Descriptive research has been carried out which helps us to understand the characteristics of an individual or a group. The sampling method used here is convenient sampling where the samples have been chosen based on ease of access of availability. The sample size is 1540. Age, Gender and Occupation are the independent variables. Cyber-crime awareness, the main cause of cybercrime and the most popular cyber-crime are the dependent variables used here. The tools used here are Chi-Square, Independent Sample t test and ANOVA. It was found that there is a significant association between the cyber-crime awareness and the age of the respondent and that there is no significant difference between the main cause of cyber-crime and gender. With the rapid rise in the rate of cyber-crimes, it is imperative that the government provide the people with more effective ways of cyber security in order to protect the society.
