  1. There isn’t a day when maitighar mandal is free from protest, every day kunai na kunai group le birodh garira hunxa. And it will only going to rise. Soon more people will join hand and bring this system down, then we will rise again with new hope and new system, free from oppression. So it seems like it is going down at the moment, but there’s light at the end of the tunnel

  2. 30M. paisa jamma gardai ho. India ma settle hune bichar cha. Cost of living low and standard of living high cha tyaha. job opportunities ni. Nepal ko aas hatyo aba ta.

  3. I am in my 40s and I have been seeing a trend in this subreddit about frustrated youths trying to flee the country. Youths have always been frustrated, doctors were always attacked,there was always a mindset that country is heading towards doom, leaders have always been corrupt. Social media and wide access to online forums have made it more apparent.

    Feel free to go abroad if you have means to do it. You might make it big, or live paycheck to paycheck. There is no guarantee. Or you can stay back and do something that will earn you a living and have the privilege of living in your motherland, with your family.

  4. Oh I remember as a fresh graduate thinking I’d do so much better about healthcare. Such a young mind at 24. Then I worked for 5 years in rural Nepal in the district hospitals and realized how nothing I did would make an impact because I was just me, I just had knowledge but no resource, no manpower, no medicines. And I almost got beat up by the people there because the ambulance got stuck in the landslides and I couldn’t refer a serious infant that passed away in my arms. I shall never forget the pain, the heartbreak when I lost that baby. And the horror when they raised their fists against me. I lived my whole life in ktm, ghar ko kancho chori, lastae pulpulyeko and then I served for 5 freaking years in the community as a government doctor and then I quit and moved to the states, got into residency and now I’m amazed by the technology, the support, the validation and thankfulness by my patients. There is a limit to which someone bends, then you break. And you pick up the pieces and find home in foreign places. I miss home, I miss my family but I don’t miss the work conditions and the way they made me feel.

  5. It’s nowhere near as bad as people are making out there in the general public. Obviously there are problems, it will be full of up and down waves but 26 here, I am content with living here and continuing what I am doing.

  6. Nepal has become much better in the last 10 years. It’s certainly not in the ideal state as of now, but the country is not “doomed” as many people put it. FOMO and lack of security, financial and physical, is the reason many people are leaving the country. While it’s not a good thing, it’s not bad in the current situation either. It’s better to work in a foreign country rather than stay at home, unproductive in your own country.

  7. Not a 25 year old but our professor told us that Nepal only has around 25-30 years until it fully falls. The increase in older population and the decrease in the working population would be so vast that the nation would have a hard time providing necessities for everything. Even developed countries like Japan are struggling with this problem. The amount of working population leaving the country every year will stress the country out. As the current working population will start to retire after 25-30 years, the working population would have to look over both the young and old population which will stress the economy of the country. But if the government somehow manages to fix this problem, Nepal would be one of the best countries to live in. There is a 70 : 30 possibility.

  8. We need a dictatorship like Singapore had, Lee Kuan Yew thats the type of guy we need. If I was one, I would send probably 100s of top officials into death sentence in first week. Then we will have proper authority in workings.

  9. Nepal vaneko dhani bau ko chora chori lai matra aananda ho
    kamauni leh dhutto kamayera purkhau purkha lai pugni sampati jogaisakey tyo sabai 2 numberi garera ho kna vaney nepal ma asal kaam garera corerpati banxu vanney sapana chai narakhey hunxa.
    Tanna paisa kamaunu cha vaney thagera matra ho nepal ma.
    China bata saman lerayera becham vanyo sabai saman ma marne gari tax hanxa
    faida khayera bechna sakidaina. tei saman arko leh bhansar ma tuccha ghus kuwayera sasto ma chiraucha
    Garo cha nepal ma garo

  10. Living in Nepal is like playing game in hard mode. No insurance, no Job security, underpaid, low living standard, common people are the only victim of inflation, corruption and nepotism at its best!!

  11. As an NRN who visits every summer to see relatives, I just wanted to point out something people tend not to bring up.

    Can Nepal even develop? Like really, how is Nepal going to develop? Landlocked, bad infrastructure (and expensive financing needed to fix this), a poverty struck population without the confucian ethics, no natural resources, a stagnant agricultural sector, etc…

    I just don’t think, with the current paradigms in developmental economics, that Nepal can actually make the jump to begin with. At best, Nepal can train workers in high skilled jobs, and send them over abroad and take that remittance money (i.e invest in human resources) but even this would be excessively difficult.

    There are no answers, let alone easily implementable ones. My parents/uncle knew this 30 years ago when they left Nepal, its still the same shit today.

    Hope is good if it’s in anticipation of something real, but let’s not get high off copium.

  12. Too much brain drain. We need the people who go overseas to come back and reinvest in the country and develop from within. Corruption, poor infrastructure management and greed are the reason why so many of us choose to leave. We need a new generation of politicians who can change the trajectory.

  13. When has nepal not been on a crisis? From a small age i have seen this problem that problem in many aspects of nepal. Who does this benefit – The super rich and the politicians. I am not saying nepal won’t face problems because of huge amount of youth leaving but that the impact isn’t as huge as it will be. After a few years we will be talking about another crisis like it will doom our country then a few years later to the next. That just is the status of our country – crisis.

  14. ​

    Let’s strive for a simple, happy life: a husband, wife, and two kids in Kathmandu. Rent will cost you at least 15k for a decent 2BHK. Food at home will require a minimum of 25k. You need to send the kiddos to school. Assuming you enroll them in an average private school, it will cost you between 5k to 10k per child, totaling 15k (average 7.5k per child). Assuming you have a car, fuel and maintenance will be around 5k per month. Let’s allocate the rest to miscellaneous expenses (internet, phone bills, insurance, occasional shopping, medical expenses, entertainment, travel, etc.) and budget 15k a month for this.

    That is 75k per month just to maintain a decent lifestyle in Kathmandu. Yes, you can try to be frugal with your expenses, but let’s avoid that for now. This may vary in smaller towns, but your monthly expenses will definitely range from 25k to 50k to sustain a good standard of living.

    Earning 75k a month, and accounting for a 10% to 15% yearly increment while adjusting for inflation, you will end up with no home, no investment, and a small emergency fund when you retire.

    My personal belief is that Nepal isn’t headed for doom; it is already doomed at least for our generation, but it is not yet at rock bottom. I don’t think my generation (born in the 90s) will see much hope, considering that 80% of the youth are eager to go abroad, holding their passports in their right hands, waiting for a visa.

  15. A guy in early thirties here!

    It’s not, trust me! It might not have been better, but it’s at least the same. Unstability is just attached to our political system, and it’s been there since 2007BS. Youths are flocking out of the country, as we are getting to know more about opportunities in foreign land. That’s not bad. They will send back more money to Nepal, and that’s already happening right now. If you are old enough, you can remember the days of civil war, bandhas, and chakka jams almost once every week.

    The question might be: Is the economy getting worse? May be right now it is, but so is the situation in many parts of the world. It’s just a cycle. It’ll get better. Things might change, business that can not thrieve might go out of existence, but new ones, new kinds, will pop up.

    What should you do (if you are asking that)? My answer is to do what you want and what you can. If you want to go abroad and afford to do so, go ahead. If you are finding Nepal fun and nice, keep enjoying. You’ll hardly find a laid-back country like Nepal if you leave. It’s just that you have to enjoy the tides of unstable government and forever happening political drama.

  16. Khai Nepal ma bhako manche sabai baira jadai chhan. Sabai Sathi haru le gadi chadeko iPhone chalako dekhera sabailai Jana maan lagcha.
    Nepal ma kei nagarera ama bau le kamako khayera basne bani. Ama bau ko paisa le na afulai iPhone aune na naya gadi.
    Fast forward: choro/chori bidesiyo. Sabai kura safa. Sabai ramro. Aba afai mehenat garera kamayera afulai j maan layo tei Kinne.
    Fast forward some more: Family bata tadha huda feeling of loneliness, depression, anxiety.

    Pick your poison.

  17. Just to give you some positive info: if kulman is allowed to work for many years. There is plan to produce atleast 10000 MW electricity. This would double if not triple the gdp of this country.

  18. As a 30 year old graduate, im afraid our country is doomed. When i look at our infrastructures, i can see that our planning, execution etc is not upto the Standard. Everything goes here, there’s no accountability. You’ve been served stale food at a restaurant, your complaint to the owner is scoffed at. You’re standing in a queue at a government office, someone will get ahead of you through deceptive means and you can do nothing about it. The system of rewarding the loyal, modest or hardworking is absent from our Society. You’re working and happy in your country, you relatives or friends make fun of you for staying in Nepal.
    A family’s social status is judged by whether they have sent their children abroad or not. If your staying in Nepal, there must be something wrong with you. Thats the mindset that we’re living with. Even educated boomers think like that.
    I dont think i can stay in this corrupted Society. Looking for a way out of here. Its my opinion, yours may be different.

  19. I’m from the UK and spent 5 months teaching music in Kathmandu last year. Thanks to the impossibility of gaining a work visa in Nepal I couldn’t stay any longer (and was legally a tourist whilst i was there). I fell in love with the country and the people were the kindest and most humble I’d met. The dedication and determination of the students and the Nepali music scene in general was incredibly inspiring, but seeing how much they are all being f*cked over by poor government and corruption breaks my heart.

    ​

    A number of my students (and former students of the school) wanted to study music in Europe and the USA. A handful have gone on to do that, but the amount of time they have to spend applying compared to students from countries with better international standings is crazy. Even if you get accepted in to the school you then need to get the visa, and often funding too.

    ​

    The younger generation in Nepal are much more awake about problems in their country than a lot of other countries i’ve been too, because it’s so bad, so i just hope they can fix things in the years to come because the current establishment is destroying the country with each day it stays in control.

  20. I think the problem with Nepali youths is they don’t do “mehenat” enough. I have some friends who did literally nothing when they were in college. 2-3 backpaper diyo basyo, internship ni garena ani they are saying Nepal ma ta job ra salary nai chaina aba bahira janchu. I’m talking about IT industry
