Mobilizing The Nepali Diaspora For Nepal's Development
The availability of ever-increasing numbers of highly educated and well-skilled Nepalis in the US, their readiness to contribute towards Nepal's prosperity, and welcoming policies and steps initiated by the Government of Nepal, are all essential ingredients for mobilizing and harnessing the expertise and skills of the Nepali Diaspora for Nepal's development. However, this new era also raises a new challenge – that is, developing a financial resource base that could be accessed on a sustainable basis to harness the expertise and skills of the Nepali Diaspora in a timely manner for specific priority areas.

Economy Warrants Serious Attention
There are problems all over the world and we need not panic looking at our problems, if we have the determination to confront problems honestly.
