Roadways!!

Nepal is poor country with ample of possibilities! Nepal lags behind in almost many sectors. But seeing developed country's progress and their achievement we can conclude that we lack even basic infrastructures. Sad to hear every days road traffic mishaps and feels worst to see most of the road ways of our nation as world's most scariest roads! Okay we have many things to do but we really need to prioritise our needs as we can't fulfill all our needs at the same time. Transportation seems to be most important sector that has to be planned vigorously and meticulously. Education, health, water, food, job etc all has been directly impacted by lack of transportation. Several corners of our parts are just in need of transportation to improve their living standards.

Once we have good transportation nexus within our nation then majority of our vast and unresolved problems will be minimised. Seeing the most developed nation we could find difficult to reach standard quality of life but once we have good transportation facility then food crops grown in terai can reach to the hills and mountains similarly cash crops of hills can reach to mountains and terai. The apples of solukhumbu will reach teari, oranges from hills will reach terai. No any person will suffer due to lack of transportation. Our most hurdles will be minimised. I can't  never let go one experience I have been through while I was in emergency room of one of regional hospital of eastern Nepal I got to know one child bearing female patient who was brought there in doko (tools to carry loads manually) with four days walk from remote hills of eastern Nepal. The patient underwent serious conditions as she was brought late due to transportation delay. It is only one of the instances I know but I am sure every minutes people are being suffered.

Regarding the political instability and every rise and fall of regimes hardly people in remote and rural areas have been benefited. Since a very long era only aristocrats and politically affiliated people have been benefited in personal basis. But as a nation we have no any substantial development programs, if some are initiated they are not completed. I feel general people don't care who rules/governs the nation only thing that concerns is good governance by any of the political parties/aristocrats/bureaucrats along with substantial developmental agendas. Out of them I strongly beleive transportation system strengthening is backbone of development!

Let's motivate country leader to focus on Best transportation system in nation!

Then our national goal of development will be achieved!

Poverty alleviation or Empowerment?

Life is based upon comparative terms. There are categories of people according to financial possession as rich or poor. We all know millennium development goal (MDG) has target as poverty alleviation which has been rarely met in any of the development era. I strongly believe that poor people also have wealth, they may not have property or good financial source but they themselves are reliable workforce. If they get work as per their ability then they can raise their life from below poverty line to above and can have successful life too. So, the target of poverty alleviation seems non tangible one, instead we can have empowerment programs. Everyone has their own capabilities and need the path according to it only. So, poor may not have property but they are more hardworking and laborious people which is their asset and if they could use it properly they will no longer be poor but will be hardworking people (the most respected ones).

So, every people are in need of their proper placement so that they can enhance the productivity. Lack of opportunity can lead them  to be destitute. The next simple thing with big impact is respect for work and workers. No any work is big or small. Neither doctor is big nor a plumber or cobbler is small. Everyone has their own roles and responsibilities to perform and act. Society must be ready to respect everyone's work and give them  respect they deserve. With dignity and respect if every workforce persons can work then there lies satisfaction in work and ultimately leads to happy life. If every class and level people has proper work placement then we can eradicate poverty!

Would like to respect all hard working laborious people!

Poor people requires empowerment!!

Mother's Day 2071 B.S.

Mother's day has been celebrated in Nepal with strengthening bond among mothers and their kids. It's natural instinct that mother has nevertheless ever lasting love and care for their kids. Every mother who is healthy mentally and physically takes good care of their child according to their knowledge and capacity. Any mother whether rich or poor has same pious love to their kids. I believe this day helps every kids far or near to keep in touch with their mothers.

       

But, I was unaware of the fact that Mother's day (Mata tritha awsi) has not been regarded as  favorable day for the birth of child. I was astonished by the fact that such pure day to celebrate mother and child bonding is again the day which is not regarded as preferable day for child birth. Well, didn't make a lot sense to me as same day we celebrate as mother's day and same day is not considered good enough to give birth to baby. Such deep rooted beliefs which really doesn't make lot of sense has to be let go so that life has meaningful reasons to live on and enjoy!

I want to wish Happy Mothers day to all mothers who not only care for self but for new human being till their last breath. This non stop and everlasting love is mother's love.

Hats off to all MOTHERS!

Sustainable rural development

Nepal is least developed country with many rural areas. Most of the rural areas are far from any sort of basic features of development as water, electricity, health, education and transportation.  Per capita income of nation is very low. Nepal lags behind in almost each and every sectors. Nepal has not been able to raise the life standards of poor people. In past several decades only cities and urban area are benefited at most. The plans and policies are almost centralized. Rural area empowerment programs have not been launched. Still education, transportation and health has been reason for people in rural area to complicate their daily living. Merely any substantial focus has been done in this sector. Whereas most of the rural areas has most potential for agricultural products for both cash and food crops but due to lack of transportation facility all products gets wasted as market is far enough for viable use of those products. This is basic scenario in almost every rural corner situation is similar.

Nepal can't plan its prosperous future with Kathmandu, Pokhara and Dharan's development. There must be availability of basic infrastructure throughout the nation to raise nation's per capita income. The availability of updated brands in cities and fashion updates can't ensure national progress. We lag behind in the basic elements and we need to have that in all corner of nation. Yes, our nation has possibilities for development and we can achieve that but plan and programs must incorporate sustainable rural development!
