Description of Nepal Chautari

Nepal Chautari is a radio media bridge between community figures determining the future of Nepal and Nepali citizens. The listeners who call into the show, share their understanding of the issues discussed, their opinions, and any solutions to elected representative government officers, political and civil society leaders, opinion-makers, and national planners who are present in person at Antenna's Studio in Bakhundole Lalitpur. As the discussion lives between the host and the guest, listeners are invited to dial the toll-free number from their local telephone sets or public telephone booths (PCOs) and voice their opinions.

Global Nepali communities and people interested in Nepal's socio-political issues can equally participate. At present international callers to Nepal must bear the calling cost on their own.

Nepal Chautari is transmitted live through 58 FM Radio Stations across Nepal using the Ujyalo Satellite Channel of Communication Corner and CIN Channel.

Nepal Chautari was first aired in January 2007 and was broadcast seven days a week from 8:10 am to 9:00 am until June 2009, with an average participation of 125 callers, of whom 20 callers were live on air. USAID/Nepal supported the program initially for the first 18 months. Currently, National Endowment for Democracy (NED) is financially supporting the program.

Since July 2009, Nepal Chautari, is being presented to its listeners in a modified format. The former 7-days a week talk show is now being aired on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays every week from 8:10 - 9:00 am. While the Friday talk show continues the earlier format, the Saturday version is a radio magazine that includes radio features and reports from across Nepal. On Sundays, the talk show format continues, whereby the focus will be on justice and security sector-related issues.
