"रेडियो नेपाल कि ऐतिहासिक बरीष्ट समाचार बाचिका श्रीमती कृष्णा ताम्राकार "
Very heart breaking news :! I am deeply saddened by the news of her death. Veteran Radio journalist Krishna Tamrakar (86-year-old) passed away. She is the First lady Radio Journalist of Nepal. She worked for a long time in Radio Nepal as a news anchor since 2018 BS. She used to read news in Hindi and later in Nepali language. She received special training in radio journalism from Germany. Tamrakar worked in radio for almost 60 years. She retired from Radio Nepal in 2049 BS. She remained active in communication even after retirement
I have always been a real admirer of her from my early age. During my childhood days she had opened a poultryfarm in our compound. During those days I got to know her very closely. Her brave early life struggle as a working woman ( used to be rare case during those days ) and bringing up three daughters from a very conservative community always inspired me. I remember her specially during the times I listened to her with lot of interest in radio programs because my father Late Dharma Ratna Yami had mentored me from my early school days to become a news reader in radio Nepal. However, I was very passionate about Mathematics and Science and choose Engineering stream which used to be a rare case during late 1960s for a girl to chose STEM subjects. May her soul rest in peace.!!
