Chitikka focuses on a variety of environmental issues affecting the Kathmandu Valley: Waste management, Water management, environment and religion, greenery and landscape, air pollution, among others. It explorers the many dimensions of an environmental issue but in particular the effect that has on human beings' health and well being. The beauty of Chitikka is that it aims at involving the public in finding solutions for the mounting environmental problems in the valley and it encourages them to take action at the individual level, changing attitudes and behaviour on a permanent basis. Good practices are featured and people who undertake them are recognized on air. Chitikka has even introduced a membership scheme in which listeners can become Friends of Chitikka the idea being to have a pool of a resource people and people interested on enviromnetal issues who can contribute to the show with ideas, suggestions, information or become volunteers. The information disseminated by Chitikka has also been compiled and published as part of ongoing effort to expand environmental education.
        Chitikka features field reports, interviews, location description and vox pop to convey its message. The concept of the show was developed by Renchin Yonjan, a well known environmental activist in Nepal and it is sponsored by ECO Himal, Australia.
