Similarly, to protect, to continue as well as to flourish our traditional values, to inspire the people to improve the flaws and weaknesses gradually and to end the increasing absurdity, escapism and negativity is the sole aim of the society. To make aware people of the above-mentioned negative attitudes, it is necessary to have discussion. So, Radio Lumbini will pay its attention to put an end of these negative feelings.
