Brain Gain For Development

If there is one urgent function, among many, that the freshly mandated government has to prioritise, it is an attempt to re/gain the drained brain for the nation's overall development. It may be agonizing to witness the sad event that more than one thousand young graduates are leaving Nepal every day, apparently not to return to their homeland. Considering this country's educated population, this number can be called an intellectual exodus. If this exodus continues as it is doing these days, no one can stop the impending deluge of youngsters' flight abroad for better education and lucrative job opportunities. Several governments were instituted after the restoration of democracy, more so after the establishment of republicanism, and have delivered elaborate speeches about the need for brain re/grain, but their talks have proved mere rhetoric far from reality.
