Publisher's Note

We feel delighted to announce that Ratopati.com is celebrting its 12th anniversary today. We would like to extend our heartfelt felicitations to all the readers, listeners, viewers, news sources, opinion makers, advertisers, and well-wishers for their continous support in the ardous journey. When the country was reeling under the vortex of political instability, especially during the period when the constitution was not being promulgated after the historic election of the first Constituent Assembly, Ratopati has always tried its best to maintain its journalistic ethics and responsibilities.

Ratopati is committed to cover a wide range of news, features, opinions and counter opinions via digital platform. We always stand by our commitment in order to maintain our integrity and credibility.

We are moving forward where the multitude of dynamics of information technology and the growing popularity of social media platforms alongside traditional news media, we acknowledge the uphill challenges in journalism. Whatever the circumstances, we are committed to uphold the journalistic principles of accuracy, balance and credibility in our news stories.

During our 12 years of journey, we have always functioned as a solid defender of the nation, its diverse cultures, the constitution, and the fundamental rights and liberties of Nepali people. The challenges of  political instability, economic recession, social tensions, and rampant corruption, Ratopati will continue to work harder to bring positive impact in the society.

Ratopati had initiated journalistic journey with dedication, passion for truth and courage. We consider ourself lucky as we have gained unmatchable experience in these 12 years. Every new day brings power to us due to the overpouring of love and support of millions of our readers, viewers, listeners and well wishers.

With the advent of our 12th year in service, we now provide information through written mediums as well as multimedia content in both Nepali and English languages. As we are always committed to the principles of the Constitution and its main element, federalism, we have been providing voices of people from all seven provinces through our provincial editions. Moreover, our global edition aims at serving the Nepali diaspora scattered in many different parts of the world.

As we honestly try to be the best in online journalism, we are well aware that achieving the milestone is not possible without unwavering help, cooperation, well wishes and love from all sectors of the nation

Sincerely,

Bijaya Sharma
