The financial sector and economic growth spark hot debates. This paper addresses the question of whether commercial banking performance in Nepal reasons to economic growth. In order to answer this question, the present study focuses on analyzing the relationship between deposit, loan and advances and assets as proxy for performance of commercial banks while gross domestic product proxies economic growth over the period of 1975-2010. Using Augmented Dickey Fuller and Ordinary Least Square, the regression results indicated that deposits and assets have significant impact on the economic growth of Nepal while loan and advances has insignificant impact on the economic development. Furthermore, the Granger-Causality test suggests that there was no causality with deposit, loan and advances and assets with the economic acceleration. It can be concluded that not only commercial banking performance but also other variables political stability and technology play the important role in the economic advances in Nepal.

Cost Biomass cookstove is extensively used for cooking and space heating in the rural area of Nepal. Its thermal efficiency and emission performance keeps prominence economically, socially and environmentally. Chimney operated two pot raised mud Improved Cookstove (ICS) is one of the most promoted cookstoves in the context of Nepal. Benefit cost ratio has been found maximum for geometrically optimized best dimension cookstove and minimum for grate and insulation used cookstove in best dimension. Net benefit of cookstove has been increased with the grate and insulation. Marginal abatement cost of best dimension cookstove has been found minimum NPR. 445/tCO2eq and maximum for the cookstove with the use all the accessories NPR 600 tCO2eq. Best dimension cooostove has been found best rank from benefit cost ratio and abatement cost aspect. The goal of this study is to perform socio-economic and environmental analysis of the twopot raised mud ICS for three family members.
