Manka Kura is a quarterly central magazine published by Equal Access Nepal with the initiation of Saathi Sanga Manka Kura and it’s Radio Listeners’ Clubs. It is a developmental magazine and its target group is rural to semi-urban youth. The core content touches role of youth in politics, self-awareness, social issues, education, capacity building, health, entertainment and sports. Some of the regulars include an advice column by SSMK Team Leader Binita Shrestha, update on various listeners’ club activities, quiz, crossword puzzle and patra sahitya (letter literature).

Regional Bulletins

SSMK Publications also publishes five monthly bulletins, one from each developmental region of the country: Hamra Kura (Eastern), Pratibimba (Central), Saathi (Western), Manko Majheri (Mid-western) and Jaagaran (Far-western). The central magazine being published from Kathmandu, the aim of these bulletins is to make SSMK listeners more participatory at a regional level as well as to build their capacity in the field of publishing.
