Siddhartha Vanasthali Institute
Siddhartha Vanasthali Institute (S.V.I), in Balaju, Kathmandu, is an academic institution of Nepal. It runs from primary school level to secondary high school up to university level courses. History and founders Bhuwan Lal Joshi and Vijaynandan Joshi founded Vanasthali Vidyashram in 1951 jointly. This was housed in a two-storied mud building with tile roof at Balaju, six kilometers from downtown Kathmandu. The first batch of students came from the founders’ family to be followed by the children of the neighborhood. Classroom size grew gradually, though school education was considered a privilege of wealthy people. Late Marshal General Hari Sumsher J. B. Rana donated the land. To open a school itself was a great challenging task in those days when less than 1% people were literate in Nepal and the Rana autocracy was hostile to any academic activities.

Nepal Bhasa
Newar (), or Newari and known officially in Nepal as Nepal Bhasa, is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken by the Newar people, the indigenous inhabitants of Nepal Mandala, which consists of the Kathmandu Valley and surrounding regions in Nepal. "Nepal Bhasa" literally means "Nepalese language", however the language is not the same as Nepali (Devanāgarī: नेपाली), the country's current official language of the central government. The two languages belong to different language families (Sino-Tibetan and Indo-European, respectively), but centuries of contact have resulted in a significant body of shared vocabulary. Newar was Nepal's administrative language from the 14th to the late 18th century. From the early 20th century until democratisation, Newar suffered from official suppression. From 1952 to 1991, the percentage of Newar speakers in the Kathmandu Valley dropped from 75% to 44% and today Newar culture and language are under threat. The language has been l ...
