Lumbini Press Club, with its central office in Rupandehi, and the Kashi Journalists Association, based in Banaras, India, have decided to collaborate on news and professional issues.
In a discussion program held in Banaras on Sunday in coordination with the Maharaj Press Club of India, the Lumbini Press Club and the Kashi Journalists Association agreed to jointly promote cross-border news issues, journalist rights issues, and Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha, and Baba Bishwanath Dham, Kashi.
Arun Mishra, president of the Kashi Journalists Association, informed that the 85-year-old organization is still moving forward by imbibing independent journalism and editorial dignity. He said that although there is a tradition of establishing press clubs in cities in India, the Kashi Journalists Association in Banaras remains a pride in the field of journalism. The Banaras Press Club is also under this association.
The discussion held at the association's office was attended by prominent journalists and media persons from Banaras. During that, journalists who had come on a study tour from Nepal and Maharajgunj, India, were given a tour of the office's auditorium hall, library, and guest house.
Maharaj Press Club President Amit Tripathi informed that activities to disseminate news on religious, historical and tourism issues of Nepal and India as well as to enhance mutual goodwill have been conducted in the border area in collaboration with Lumbini Press Club. This time, he said, they have come jointly for a study tour of the Banaras region, which has traditionally been the center of language, culture, education and politics. 'When journalists from both countries came to the Kashi region for a study tour, we could not forget the Kashi Journalists Association,' he said. 'When we came here and discussed, we got an opportunity to learn not only about journalism but also about institutional development.'
Lumbini Press Club President Kamal Rayamajhi said that although the Federation of Nepali Journalists is the umbrella organization of journalists in Nepal, the independently formed press club has been playing a role in enhancing the capacity of journalists and taking them to important places in the country and abroad to develop their writing skills and expand their knowledge. 'In this process, we have been maintaining sisterly relations with press clubs abroad,' he said.
The Press Club has already established sisterly relations with the Sikkim Press Club and Maharaj Press Club of India. He said that a meeting was also held with the Kashi Journalists Association on Sunday for coordination and cooperation.
