Development Fillip

Sluggish pace of development in Nepal has become a perennial problem. One major factor bedeviling our development endeavours is the chronic problem of a meagre capital expenditure. And the problem has become so pervasive that it continues to dampen optimism, contributing to the exodus of youths for foreign employment or for better living standards. In the recent meeting of the House of Representatives (HoR), lawmakers of various political parties expressed their concerns about the frustratingly slow pace of various development projects and the poor capital expenditure and drew the government's attention to the issues that need to be addressed urgently.
