Though the number of women in Nepal Army is far outnumbered by their male counterparts, the national army has given top priority to women representation in the upcoming peacekeeping missions as per the strategies floated by the United Nation.
The UN has demanded more female peacekeepers to improve the overall approach to current peacekeeping operations in order to focus more on protection of civilian and to enhance civil-military cooperation.
Although women are being recruited by the Nepal Army since 1962, there are only 3,641 women soldiers and officers in the 96,500-strong army.
As of March 27 this year, 4,410 peacekeepers from Nepal Army are being deployed in different missions in different conflict-hit zones. The number of female soldiers currently deployed in different missions is only 98.
Of the total women deployed in UN missions, Lieutenant Colonel Ratna Adhikari (Khatri) is commanding a top post in UN mission and Colonel Aarya Rajya Laxmi Pandey is the highest ranked Nepali woman officer in the UN mission till date, according to the NA’s Directorate of Public Relations.
NA’s Spokesperson Brigadier General Tara Bahadur Karki said that the number of female representation will be increased in the upcoming missions.
According to a UN report, several plans have been charted out to integrate more female peacekeepers in UN missions with the belief that skilled and trained female peacekeepers could be useful in future peacekeeping operations.

Guaranteed vs. Non-Guaranteed Permanent Life Insurance Policies
Fifty years ago, most life insurance policies sold were guaranteed and offered by mutual fund companies. Choices were limited to term, endowment or whole life policies. It was simple, you paid a high, set premium and the insurance company guaranteed the death benefit. All of that changed in the 1980s. Interest rates soared, and policy owners surrendered their coverage to invest the cash value in higher interest paying non-insurance products. To compete, insurers began offering interest-sensitive non-guaranteed policies.
Guaranteed versus Non-Guaranteed Policies
Today, companies offer a broad range of guaranteed and non-guaranteed life insurance policies. A guaranteed policy is one in which the insurer assumes all the risk and contractually guarantees the death benefit in exchange for a set premium payment. If investments underperform or expenses go up, the insurer has to absorb the loss. With a non-guaranteed policy the owner, in exchange for a lower premium and possibly better return, is assuming much of the investment risk as well as giving the insurer the right to increase policy fees. If things don’t work out as planned, the policy owner has to absorb the cost and pay a higher premium.
Term Policies
Term life insurance is guaranteed. The premium is set at issue and clearly stated right in the policy. An annual renewable term policy has a premium that goes up every year. A level term policy has an initially higher premium that does not change for a set period, usually 10, 20 or 30 years, and then becomes annual renewable term with a premium based on your attained age.
Permanent Policies
Permanent coverage: whole, universal and variable life is more confusing since the same policy, depending on how it is issued, can often be either guaranteed or non-guaranteed. All permanent life insurance policy illustrations are hypothetical and include ledgers that show how the policy could perform under both guaranteed and non-guaranteed assumptions.The rates of return and policy fees are usually shown at the top of each ledger column and some policies, such as variable or index life, are sometimes illustrated assuming very optimistic 7-8% annual returns.
Non-guaranteed policies are typically illustrated with a premium that is calculated based on a favorable assumed rate of return and policy fees that could change. The lower premium payment is great as long as the performance of the policy meets or exceeds the assumptions in the illustration. Click Here However, if the policy does not meet expectations then the owner would have to pay a higher premium and/or reduce the death benefit, or the coverage may lapse prematurely.
Some permanent policies offer a rider, for an additional cost, that is part of the contract and guarantees the policy will not lapse. The policy is guaranteed, even if the cash value drops to zero, as long as the planned premium is paid as scheduled. Depending on how the policy and the premium are calculated, the no lapse guarantee can range from a few years out to age 121. However, in exchange for transferring the risk back to the insurer these policies typically have a higher premium and build little cash value.
