Alumni Testimonials
"I chose to take up this project as I wanted some training in Teaching. I
already have a teacher’s degree from India but was not able to take up a formal
training. Moreover, I will be staying in Thailand for three years. So taking up
this course might help me in getting a teaching job in Thailand.
It was a great experience, especially going to the classrooms and teaching. It
gave us all the experience of real teaching and the issues connected to
teaching. The feedbacks form peers and the lessons helped us a lot to improve
our own style." Shalini Menon

they wanted a TEFL certificate. That was when I thought there was something
beyond B. Ed. and M. Ed. that was a prerequisite in few countries. So
I chose ATI Kolkata." Viviana, ItalyAlumni Testimonials

preferably in India and in Kolkata. I research ATI on the internet and only
found positive comments about it. It was also more affordable than some other
courses.
I enjoyed my experience in Kolkata and with ATI. The course was very relevant
and useful. The trainers were good and were available questions" Brain Meehan,

Politics
• Nepal has seen rapid political changes during the last two decades. Until
1990, Nepal was a monarchy running under the executive control of the king.
Faced with a Communist movement against the absolute monarchy, King Birendra, in
1990, agreed to large-scale political reforms by creating a parliamentary
monarchy with the king as the head of state and a prime minister as the head of
the government. Nepal has also been noted for its recent speed of development,
such as being one of the few countries in Asia to abolish the death penalty and
the first country in Asia to rule in favor of same-sex marriage, which the
government has a seven-person committee studying after a November 2008 ruling by
the nation's Supreme Court, which ordered full rights for LGBT individuals,
including the right to marry.
• Nepal's legislature was bicameral, consisting of a House of Representatives
called the Pratinidhi Sabha and National Council called the Rastriya Sabha. The
House of Representatives consisted of 205 members directly elected by the
people.
• All Nepali citizens 18 years and older became eligible to vote.
• The executive comprised the King and the Council of Ministers. The leader of
the coalition or party securing the maximum seats in an election was appointed
as the Prime Minister. The Cabinet was appointed by the king on the
recommendation of the Prime Minister. Governments in Nepal tended to be highly
unstable, falling either through internal collapse or parliamentary dissolution
by the monarch, on the recommendation of the prime minister, according to the
constitution; no government has survived for more than two years since 1991.
• On August 15, 2008, Maoist leader Prachanda (Pushpa Kamal Dahal) was elected
Prime Minister of Nepal, the first since the country's transition from a
monarchy to a republic. On May 4, 2009, Mr. Pushpa Kamal Dahal resigned over
on-going conflicts over sacking of the Army chief.
Language
Nepal's diverse linguistic heritage evolved from four major language groups:
Indo-Aryan, Tibeto-Burman, Mongolian, and various indigenous language isolates.
The major languages of Nepal (percent spoken as mother tongue):
• Nepali (48.61%),
• Maithili (12.30%),
• Bhojpuri (7.53%),
• Tharu (5.86%),
• Tamang (5.19%),
• Newari/Nepal Bhasa (3.63%),
• Magar (3.39%),
• Awadhi (2.47%),
• Rai (2.79%),
• Limbu (1.47%), and

Religion
Nepal was formerly the world's only constitutionally declared Hindu state, but
following the movement for democracy in early 2006 and the breaking of King
Gyanendra's power, the Nepali Parliament amended the constitution to make Nepal
a secular state.
According to the 2001 census, 80.6 percent of Nepalese are Hindu, 10.7 percent
are Buddhist, 10% are Muslim, 3.6 percent are Kirat (an indigenous religion with
Hindu influence), 0.5 percent are Christian, and 0.4 percent are classified as
other groups.
Culture
The rich cultural heritage of the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal has
evolved over centuries. This multi-dimensional cultural heritage encompasses
within itself the cultural diversities of various ethics, tribal and social
groups inhabiting different altitudes, and it manifests in various forms: music
and dance, art and craft, folklores and folktales, languages and literature,
philosophy and religion, festivals and celebrations and foods and drinks.
Sports
The principal Nepal sports are those that require individual effort.
Nepal popular sports include sporting activities like mountain flight, bungee
jumping, paragliding, mountain biking and white water river rafting.
