buildings and at the same time it is also enforcing the code in the privatebuildings through municipalities. DUDBC disseminates NBC nation wide

Different training programs had been organized : More than 350 Nos. of/ fEngineer/ Architects and more than 450 nos. of sub engineer had been

trained how to use of NBCDUDBC has prepared building constructing Guidelines in simple Nepali

language based on NBC DUDBC trained more than 7500 masons all overlanguage based on NBC. DUDBC trained more than 7500 masons all overthe country for earthquakes safe building construction.

Organized various symposium, workshops about use of NBC. Alsoestablished hoarding boards in different parts in Kathmandu and outsideth ll lthe valley also.

Published various poster, pamphlets, booklets, hording boards aboutNBC.

Retrofitting of existing vulnerable Government buildings RecentlyRetrofitting of existing vulnerable Government buildings. RecentlyDUDBC is implanting Retrofitting work for Free Clinic Building atChhetrapati, Kathmandu.In an attempt towards dissemination NBC, DUDBC is actively involved inp , y

organizing earthquake safety day every year on 2nd Magh.
