Farwestern University Darchula Multiple Campus, situated at Mahakali-04, Khalanga,

Darchula, a leading constituent campus of Farwestern University, is a renowned academic
institution of higher education. In the beginning, as a community campus, it was established
in 2059 B.S., under affiliation to Tribhuvan University by the initiation of the passionate
group of educationists, politicians and intellectuals of the district with an aim of imparting
value based practical and quality education to the aspiring youth. Formally, Darchula Multiple
Campus has been amalgamated in Farwestern University as a constituent campus on 01st
Shrawan 2075.Team DMC is committed to the objective of earnest pursuit of academic
excellence. It offers a high quality integrated education of international standard to prepare
worthy citizen of the country with sound knowledge and skills required for further study and
career opportunities. To add some bricks on the quality education, DMC is publishing
Exploration, the Peer-Reviewed Research Journal of DMC.

Therefore, we are pleased to present the third volume of Exploration, the journal of DMC,
during our tenure as editors. In this editorial, we describe the nature of this journal, the article
review process and the overview of the classification of articles.

Exploration is an academic journal, and therefore, can be utilized by any academic enthusiast
either by publishing their research based articles and practice based articles or by going
through relevant and worthy articles which are included in it. Exploration follows a standard
review process for all articles. Any article that is received by Editorial Board of the Journal is
reviewed by the expert reviewers of the related subjects and if it is deemed suitable for the
journal, it is passed on to Research Management Committee of the campus. Based on their
reviews, the editorial board decides if the paper is worthy of publication. The paper may still
be rejected if the author fails to satisfy the requirement as advised by the reviewers although
every effort is made to provide support to the potential article author. We also want to note
that the articles published in this journal are predominantly research-based. Occasionally,
practice-based articles are also published if they offer practical insights to faculty members in
particular and the wider academic community in general.

In response to our call for papers for the current volume, we had received 32 articles in total.
Among them, only 18 were selected for publication after a rigorous review process. This
selection was essential to maintain the high standard of the journal. However, the selection
process was challenging as we needed an army of reviewers to review the articles. The
process was lengthy and labor-intensive for both the reviewers and the editorial team. In
general, these articles cover a broad spectrum of the field of Higher Education and represent
academic contexts in Nepal. We expect that these articles offer our readers plenty of food for
thought and new ideas for research and practices.

Among the articles in this volume, three of them deal with language and research. There are
four articles that deal with education. In the next category, there are three articles that deal
with trade and tourism. The next category of the articles deals with literature where two
articles are included. There are two articles in the next category that deals with social and
environmental issues of Nepalese society. The next four articles examine a wide range of
aspects in teaching.

Before we close this editorial, we would like to mention that this is our third volume which
would not have been possible without the rigorous support and inspiration of the campus
chief, Mr. Krishna Singh Saud. We take this opportunity to thank sincerely all our target
readers and supporters of the journal. Finally, we would like to extend our gratitude to both
the authors and the reviewers who have been very supportive throughout the process. They
responded to us promptly even when the deadline was extremely tight. We are equally
grateful to the Research Management Committee of the campus for their continuous support.
We would like to thank our designer, Anand Dadal, who helped to present this volume so
elegantly. Last but not least, the editorial team and the Research Management Committee like
to earnestly appreciate the support of Latinath Publication Press for the publication of the
print version of this volume.
