Graduating wisely

We need a solid post-graduation plan to enjoy the perks of becoming a developing country.

With the United Nations Committee for Development Policy recommending Nepal’s graduation from a least developed country to a developing country after a preparatory period of five years, Nepal is poised to take a giant leap forward in its global portfolio. Although Nepal is yet to meet the gross national income threshold, it has already met the human assets index and the economic and environmental vulnerability index, and with some rigorous homework on the economic front, it stands to rise to the status of a developing country by 2026.
