3.6 Challenges and Future Direction of Human Resource
Development in Nepal

Nepal has no concrete human resource development plan. We do not have exact data
on available human resource and need of human resource in particular sector for future.
We have challenge for proper adjustment between demand and produced manpower
in the country. We have a great challenge for production of human resource according
to national and international demand and reduce dependency of foreign employment.
Our development plan and polices are frequently changed. Hence, we have challenges
for implementing development plans for rural areas, women, dalits, backward class and
communities. We need to develop long term plan to face such challenges in Nepal. Some
of the long term visions for human resource development in Nepal are as follows:
To maintain a balance between the demand and supply of human resource by
developing competent and skilled human resources.
To emphasize on technical and vocational trainings to create employment and self
employment.
To develop able and skilled human resource to compete in the national and
international markets.
To increase potentiality of agencies related with human resource.
To integrate programmes for skilled human resource development.
To implement human resource development policy.
To run programmes related to leadership development for the youth.
To develop the ability of targeted group.
To develop human resource to handover skills and technology to the domestic
human resource to compete in international market.
To define jobs in a new way so as to make them job oriented.
To maintain harmony between human resource produced from educational
institutions and jobs available in the market.
