Nepalese Scientist Going Home Full Of Ideas
(New Zealand Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Dec. 3. Grateful for New Zealand's hospitality and richer by another degree in agricultural science, Nepal's chief agronomist. Mr N. B. Basnyat tomorrow will begin his journey home full of ideas after studying for three years in New Zealand under the Colombo plan. Besides applying what he has learned on selective . plant breeding and grasslands research generally, he intends to translate a New Zealand cookery book to introduce cake-baking to his country. He also hopes to extol the virtues of the Plunket Society, •how how flower gardens can improve the appearance of a house .by exhibiting coloured
slides and will probably drop a hint or two on the advantages of a two or three party system ■of government as opposed to a 19-party system in Nepal. But he will not try to introduce • beer drinking or horse racing. i He would, however, he said :today, like to sow the idea of ' a happy mean between the excessive freedom allowed New Zealand adolescents and the restrictions on them in Nepal. i Mr Basnyat hopes to attend the next World Grasslands Congress in London in 1960.
