Abstract | Nepal being a small country is unfortunate in terms of its overall progress, particularly in economic development. It has suffered a lot because of Maoist insurgency which has largely destabilized the country’s progress. Upon restoration, the country’s political parties were not able to tackle the problems largely due to their ineffective leadership and absence of appropriate vision. However, international donors are providing assistances for the development of country. Political instability is one of the factors which have led this country to fall into the trap of current stage of destitution and a strenuous effort is needed to bring this country out of vicious cycle of poverty1 . Poverty is increasing in Nepal; as it has been shown by mass exodus of youth from this country in search of employment in the third country. A few years back youth exodus was in the order of less than thousand people per day; now reportedly it has crossed more than 2,500 youths2 per day who leave the country. This is because the country does not have any youth employment programs, no industries and other development activities which have forced the youth to disappear completely from the country |
