अतः
Therefore in Formal Writing
अतः means therefore: it begins the sentence or clause that gives the result.
How It Works
अतः is a formal word for therefore. It joins a reason to its result and belongs to notices, reports and letters.

The reason comes first, usually in its own clause or sentence: वर्षा धेरै भयो, अतः बाटो बन्द भयो. The result follows.
अतः often opens the final sentence of a notice: अतः सबैलाई समयमै आउन अनुरोध छ. It can also start a new sentence after a full stop.
Do not use अतः for a reason that comes after the result. For that, use किनभने or -एको हुनाले. अतः points forward from the reason to the result, so the reason must already be on the page.
