When an individual wants to access or share particular news, it should be organized or classified in the proper class. Nepali news classification is the task of categorizing the news content into the predefined category from the training news dataset. In this project, a system has been built for categorizing the content of the news into different categories using the news article from a major Nepali language newspaper published in Nepal.
