Sajha Sawal (Nepali: साझा सवाल) was a weekly debate program broadcast across Nepal on radio and TV. The program was usually based on current affairs. In its eight years of broadcast, the program had been shot in 69 of the 75 districts of Nepal. Representatives of the different sections of society, related to the topic of debate are brought together during the program to discuss and find a solution to the issue. And as the name of the program speaks for itself, the program is an opportunity for people to raise questions and put them before the authorities.
