Although Nepal is bestowed with immense resources, people;s lives are crippled in the absence of their proper and optimal use. It is similar to a situation in which a person is stranded on a boat in sea, dying with thirst, because he does not know how to remove salt from the sea water. Nepal is the second richest country in the world in terms of water resources a hackneyed statement and has a huge potential for hydro power generation that can meet a large part of the demand in South Asia. Having a huge market in both north and south of the border, upon the failure of fishing the money in river that is flowing away every day, people are forced to live in the darkness. The rains could not wash away the power cut woes of Nepalis. Even during monsoon when the rivers are flooded, Nepalis are facing black-out every day. I blame the government and its failure to invite foreign investors for developing hydropower projects if it cannot generate electricity itself.</div>

<div>
We don't have to roam around the globe to find an investor. There are a lot in our neighbouring countries that are willing to develop power projects in Nepal and sell the output in their countries. What they are demanding is a stable policy that welcomes and ensures their investment. But our statesmenâ are so professional player of the dirty game called politics that they tend to succeed every time in chasing away potential investors. As a result, they are seeking other appropriate destinations like Bhutan. Water flowing out of Nepal is money flowing away from the country. The more it flows the more we lose. And our policy makers are happy to see the beauty of waves in flowing water. They turn a blind eye to the resources being wasted.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The more we delay, the more we lose. What is the use if Nepal produces 40 thousand megawatts of electricity when India and china have developed enough power to meet their need? And, that time is not very far. Then, I think our country will be proud to import from these countries to minimise load-shedding hours. Without any delay, the government should welcome foreign investors with open arms to develop big projects in Nepal. When we are busy giving phony speeches on nationality, it will to too late to say, Now I am going to develop thousands of megawatts of hydroelectricity. By then, we will have no market to sell our products and politicians will be happy men.<br />

Auto business personnel are expecting a decline of more than 40 per cent in the vehicle business compared to last year due to the crisis in the financial sector and the increasing tax rate. It is positive for a government to discourage non-productive investments and discouraging private vehicles, to some extent, helps in minimising the traffic on the narrow roads of cities like Kathmandu. However, the automobile sector is generating a huge chunk of revenue for the country and the government should seek an alternative source to make up that if it is serious about discouraging vehicles import in the country.<br />

Although Nepal is bestowed with immense resources, people;s lives are crippled in the absence of their proper and optimal use. It is similar to a situation in which a person is stranded on a boat in sea, dying with thirst, because he does not know how to remove salt from the sea water. Nepal is the second richest country in the world in terms of water resources a hackneyed statement and has a huge potential for hydro power generation that can meet a large part of the demand in South Asia. Having a huge market in both north and south of the border, upon the failure of fishing the money in river that is flowing away every day, people are forced to live in the darkness. The rains could not wash away the power cut woes of Nepalis. Even during monsoon when the rivers are flooded, Nepalis are facing black-out every day. I blame the government and its failure to invite foreign investors for developing hydropower projects if it cannot generate electricity itself.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We don't have to roam around the globe to find an investor. There are a lot in our neighbouring countries that are willing to develop power projects in Nepal and sell the output in their countries. What they are demanding is a stable policy that welcomes and ensures their investment. But our statesmenâ are so professional player of the dirty game called politics that they tend to succeed every time in chasing away potential investors. As a result, they are seeking other appropriate destinations like Bhutan. Water flowing out of Nepal is money flowing away from the country. The more it flows the more we lose. And our policy makers are happy to see the beauty of waves in flowing water. They turn a blind eye to the resources being wasted.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The more we delay, the more we lose. What is the use if Nepal produces 40 thousand megawatts of electricity when India and china have developed enough power to meet their need? And, that time is not very far. Then, I think our country will be proud to import from these countries to minimise load-shedding hours. Without any delay, the government should welcome foreign investors with open arms to develop big projects in Nepal. When we are busy giving phony speeches on nationality, it will to too late to say, Now I am going to develop thousands of megawatts of hydroelectricity. By then, we will have no market to sell our products and politicians will be happy men.<br />

<div>
When Nano, the cheapest car, was launched in Nepal many thought motoring will be affordable for middle class people too. So was the business motive of Tata while launching Nano in Nepal. The Nepal government's taxation policy has something else to tell. Every year the government is hiking the tax rate on the automobiles which make vehicles beyond the imagination of many middle-class people. When the cheapest car comes to Nepal, it is still expensive to majority of the people because of high taxation. While selling the car in Nepal, there is 240 per cent increment in the price over the price in India. This adds extra cost to those who dream to own a car.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Auto business personnel are expecting a decline of more than 40 per cent in the vehicle business compared to last year due to the crisis in the financial sector and the increasing tax rate. It is positive for a government to discourage non-productive investments and discouraging private vehicles, to some extent, helps in minimising the traffic on the narrow roads of cities like Kathmandu. However, the automobile sector is generating a huge chunk of revenue for the country and the government should seek an alternative source to make up that if it is serious about discouraging vehicles import in the country.<br />

Budget Baggage to Complain<br />
<br />
</span></div>
<div>
Right after the budget is presented in the parliament by the Finance Minister, nobody is satisfied without criticising it. Critiques forget to consider what is good in the budget. They rightly pick up the flaws. Obviously, the budget determines where the economy will be heading in the new fiscal year but it may not necessarily be a baggage of rubbish. It is rare to hear appreciation for what is good along with the criticism for what is not. Interestingly, everyone complains the one who does not benefit and even the ones who directly benefit for example through a hike in salary. Instead of spending time to give discourses on the budge, I believe it will be better to put pressure on the government to implement the right policies and make use of what is good in the budget for the welfare of the country.<br />

Although Nepal is bestowed with immense resources, people;s lives are crippled in the absence of their proper and optimal use. It is similar to a situation in which a person is stranded on a boat in sea, dying with thirst, because he does not know how to remove salt from the sea water. Nepal is the second richest country in the world in terms of water resources a hackneyed statement and has a huge potential for hydro power generation that can meet a large part of the demand in South Asia. Having a huge market in both north and south of the border, upon the failure of fishing the money in river that is flowing away every day, people are forced to live in the darkness. The rains could not wash away the power cut woes of Nepalis. Even during monsoon when the rivers are flooded, Nepalis are facing black-out every day. I blame the government and its failure to invite foreign investors for developing hydropower projects if it cannot generate electricity itself.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
We don't have to roam around the globe to find an investor. There are a lot in our neighbouring countries that are willing to develop power projects in Nepal and sell the output in their countries. What they are demanding is a stable policy that welcomes and ensures their investment. But our statesmenâ are so professional player of the dirty game called politics that they tend to succeed every time in chasing away potential investors. As a result, they are seeking other appropriate destinations like Bhutan. Water flowing out of Nepal is money flowing away from the country. The more it flows the more we lose. And our policy makers are happy to see the beauty of waves in flowing water. They turn a blind eye to the resources being wasted.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The more we delay, the more we lose. What is the use if Nepal produces 40 thousand megawatts of electricity when India and china have developed enough power to meet their need? And, that time is not very far. Then, I think our country will be proud to import from these countries to minimise load-shedding hours. Without any delay, the government should welcome foreign investors with open arms to develop big projects in Nepal. When we are busy giving phony speeches on nationality, it will to too late to say, Now I am going to develop thousands of megawatts of hydroelectricity. By then, we will have no market to sell our products and politicians will be happy men.<br />

Tax it to Discourage it<br />
<br />
</span></div>
<div>
When Nano, the cheapest car, was launched in Nepal many thought motoring will be affordable for middle class people too. So was the business motive of Tata while launching Nano in Nepal. The Nepal government's taxation policy has something else to tell. Every year the government is hiking the tax rate on the automobiles which make vehicles beyond the imagination of many middle-class people. When the cheapest car comes to Nepal, it is still expensive to majority of the people because of high taxation. While selling the car in Nepal, there is 240 per cent increment in the price over the price in India. This adds extra cost to those who dream to own a car.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Auto business personnel are expecting a decline of more than 40 per cent in the vehicle business compared to last year due to the crisis in the financial sector and the increasing tax rate. It is positive for a government to discourage non-productive investments and discouraging private vehicles, to some extent, helps in minimising the traffic on the narrow roads of cities like Kathmandu. However, the automobile sector is generating a huge chunk of revenue for the country and the government should seek an alternative source to make up that if it is serious about discouraging vehicles import in the country.<br />

Budget Baggage to Complain<br />
<br />
</span></div>
<div>
Right after the budget is presented in the parliament by the Finance Minister, nobody is satisfied without criticising it. Critiques forget to consider what is good in the budget. They rightly pick up the flaws. Obviously, the budget determines where the economy will be heading in the new fiscal year but it may not necessarily be a baggage of rubbish. It is rare to hear appreciation for what is good along with the criticism for what is not. Interestingly, everyone complains the one who does not benefit and even the ones who directly benefit for example through a hike in salary. Instead of spending time to give discourses on the budge, I believe it will be better to put pressure on the government to implement the right policies and make use of what is good in the budget for the welfare of the country.<br />

We don't have to roam around the globe to find an investor. There are a lot in our neighbouring countries that are willing to develop power projects in Nepal and sell the output in their countries. What they are demanding is a stable policy that welcomes and ensures their investment. But our statesmenâ are so professional player of the dirty game called politics that they tend to succeed every time in chasing away potential investors. As a result, they are seeking other appropriate destinations like Bhutan. Water flowing out of Nepal is money flowing away from the country. The more it flows the more we lose. And our policy makers are happy to see the beauty of waves in flowing water. They turn a blind eye to the resources being wasted.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
The more we delay, the more we lose. What is the use if Nepal produces 40 thousand megawatts of electricity when India and china have developed enough power to meet their need? And, that time is not very far. Then, I think our country will be proud to import from these countries to minimise load-shedding hours. Without any delay, the government should welcome foreign investors with open arms to develop big projects in Nepal. When we are busy giving phony speeches on nationality, it will to too late to say, Now I am going to develop thousands of megawatts of hydroelectricity. By then, we will have no market to sell our products and politicians will be happy men.<br />

Auto business personnel are expecting a decline of more than 40 per cent in the vehicle business compared to last year due to the crisis in the financial sector and the increasing tax rate. It is positive for a government to discourage non-productive investments and discouraging private vehicles, to some extent, helps in minimising the traffic on the narrow roads of cities like Kathmandu.

Although Nepal is bestowed with immense resources, people;s lives are crippled in the absence of their proper and optimal use. It is similar to a situation in which a person is stranded on a boat in sea, dying with thirst, because he does not know how to remove salt from the sea water. Nepal is the second richest country in the world in terms of water resources a hackneyed statement and has a huge potential for hydro power generation that can meet a large part of the demand in South Asia. Having a huge market in both north and south of the border, upon the failure of fishing the money in river that is flowing away every day, people are forced to live in the darkness. The rains could not wash away the power cut woes of Nepalis. Even during monsoon when the rivers are flooded, Nepalis are facing black-out every day. I blame the government and its failure to invite foreign investors for developing hydropower projects if it cannot generate electricity itself.</div>

We don't have to roam around the globe to find an investor. There are a lot in our neighbouring countries that are willing to develop power projects in Nepal and sell the output in their countries. What they are demanding is a stable policy that welcomes and ensures their investment. But our statesmenâ are so professional player of the dirty game called politics that they tend to succeed every time in chasing away potential investors. As a result, they are seeking other appropriate destinations like Bhutan. Water flowing out of Nepal is money flowing away from the country. The more it flows the more we lose.
