Educated Nepali Youth Struggle for Employment Amidst Election Promises

Ramila Ghimire of Jorpati holds a postgraduate degree certificate. Not only that, she also has one year of work experience in hotel management. However, those experiences and the certificate do not keep the hearth burning in her home. Ghimire has the responsibility of supporting her parents at home. For that, she urgently needs employment. Ghimire is currently wandering in search of a job.

Ghimire is forced to stay at home because she is not getting a job and salary commensurate with her education and experience. She says, "Candidates come to the doorsteps during elections promising to provide jobs. After the election, neither the leaders come nor are jobs available."
