This study aims to examine the degree of financial literacy and practices of financial knowledge among MBA students in Nepal. Four prominent universities were selected for study: Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu University, Pokhara University, and Purbanchal University. The descriptive and analytical research approach was applied to analyze the data. Data were collected through questionnaires from 320 students by using convenience and stratified sampling methods. The analysis was conducted using the SPSS software system. The results highlight the complex interplay of factors influencing financial behavior and literacy among MBA students, emphasizing the importance of education, familial influence, and media exposure in shaping financial attitudes and decision-making. The study delves into several key aspects of financial behavior, influence, attitude, literacy, and knowledge sources among MBA students. Notably, respondents displayed positive financial behaviors such as reading for knowledge enhancement and prudent spending practices. Parental influence emerged as the most significant factor shaping financial decisions, followed by media and internet exposure. Respondents generally exhibited a favorable financial outlook and demonstrated understanding in various financial literacy domains, though areas for improvement, particularly in investment risk comprehension, were identified. The study shows how education, family influence, and media exposure affect MBA student’s financial think, how people handle finance, like their education and where they get information from. This is seen as reflected in financial literacy scores ranging from 1.43 to 3.86, with an average of 2.405 and a standard deviation of 0.449, suggesting below-average scores and reduced unpredictability.

The purpose of this study is to assess the level of financial literacy among graduate students. The focus is on exploring the relationship between financial literacy and three key factors: financial attitude, financial knowledge, and financial behavior. The study targeted graduate students at Tribhuvan University's Faculty of Management (FOM) in Kathmandu valley with 710 students receiving a structured questionnaire. Total of 427 valid responses were received, establishing the sample for analysis. Descriptive and relational research designs was adopted for the analysis. Data was collected through a structured questionnaire, reflecting participants' financial attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors. The study concludes that there exists a positive association between the levels of students' financial attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors with their financial literacy. Additionally, the research findings reveal a significant and positive impact of financial attitude, knowledge, and behavior on financial literacy. Government authorities will utilize findings of the study for the development of policies aimed at enhancing financial literacy programs in Nepal. Banking and Financial Institutions (BFIs), Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) as well as regulators can use the insights to modify financial literacy programs that address the specific needs identified in the study. Professors, teachers, and trainers can incorporate with the study's results for curriculum planning, designing courses to foster financial attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors among graduate and post-graduate students.

This study examines consumer behaviour regarding organic food in Nepal, focusing on three key factors: health consciousness, availability, and price perception. This study attempts to identify the determinants of consumer attitude, purchase intention, and actual buying behaviour that will help address the challenges faced by Nepal's emerging organic food market. A quantitative approach was used to prepare a structured questionnaire distributed to 650 participants, and 500 valid responses were analysed. The data were collected using both online and offline methods. The results showed that health consciousness significantly influences attitudes and purchase intentions because consumers perceive organic foods to be healthier, non-contaminated, and without harmful chemicals. Availability has emerged as a vital factor because of the limited accessibility of organic products and the low diffusion results. As perceived, negative purchase intentions consider consumers’ attitudes toward the expensiveness of organic products regarding perceived benefits. High prices and restricted availability are considered reasons for the difference between purchase intention and actual buying behaviour. Research has highlighted that access to and affordability of organic foods in Nepal must be strategized to improve distribution channels, educate consumers, and adjust prices to permit wider adoption.

This study explores the effect of consumer ethnocentrism on the purchase intention of locally manufactured organic food in Nepal, incorporating the mediating framework of the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). Drawing on Social Influence Theory, the research examines how attitudes and subjective norms mediate the association between consumer ethnocentrism and buying intention. Two hundred fifty-nine data were gathered through a structured survey of Nepalese consumers, and structural equation modeling (SEM) was applied to test the hypothesized relations. The findings reveal that consumer ethnocentrism significantly influences attitudes and subjective norms, which drive purchase intentions. Additionally, social influence emerges as a crucial factor in shaping ethnocentric preferences and their impact on consumer behavior. This research highlights the role of cultural and social influences in promoting locally produced organic food, offering practical implications for policymakers, marketers, and local producers in fostering sustainable consumption practices. This research adds to the mounting literature on consumer behavior by integrating ethnocentrism, TRA, and Social Influence Theory within the context of emerging markets.
