Possibilities in Nepal

Nepal is a landlocked country not a mind-locked country. There is high feasibility to
develop the country. It has a variety of landscapes including snow-capped mountains,
mountain ranges, steep hills, valleys, climates, different kinds of forests, perennial
and biennial rivers lakes ponds, stream, glaciers, waterfalls and different kinds of
minerals. They increase its significance. The utilization of these resources properly
can generate very good income.

There are high possibilities to promote tourism. The diverse land features, diverse
climate can attract tourists from many countries. The diverse socio- cultural, aspects
religious and historical movements are the main attractions of the country. Nepal is
the world within itself.

The richness in water resources can be a boon for the country. The fast flowing river
can be used for hydro-electricity generation, irrigation, various recreational activities
and drinking water. The diverse climate and soil support to grow various kinds of
crops and vegetation.
The diverse resources are a boon of nature rather than a curse. So to utilize optimally
we need diligent, skilled, patriotic and responsible human resources. Mostly political
leaders, law makers, responsible people in civil society should have such qualities.
It does not take long to develop Nepal if these resources are well-utilized and
infrastructures of development are provided as per the requirement.

Case Study

Samiti, Naya Colony” First of all they
collected Rs 13,000 each from every
house for proper drainage and road
construction and took support of Rs
1,00,000 from municipality and started
construction work very soon with the
local participation a small street turned into the wide road in which every vehicle can enter
including water tanker, fire brigade and ambulance. In this way road construction changes the
lifestyle of the people.
