Governance, उद्यमशीलता, देश, विदेश / एन.आर.एन
Nepal is facing a silent crisis—its young population is leaving. Every day, thousands of young Nepalis migrate abroad for education, employment, and better opportunities. While remittances strengthen the economy, the long-term impact on the nation’s future is becoming deeply concerning. A Nation Growing Older, Faster Villages are emptying. Schools in rural areas are closing due to a lack of students. Farmlands are left uncultivated. With youth leaving in large numbers, Nepal’s population is gradually aging, creating a society where fewer working-age citizens must support more dependents.

Kathmandu Water Crisis: Why Nepal’s Capital Faces a Future Water Emergency

Irregular rainfall, falling groundwater levels, and drying natural sources are reducing available water, while daily demand keeps increasing. Unplanned urban growth has also damaged natural water systems. Concrete expansion has reduced rainwater absorption, and traditional water sources are disappearing. This crisis...
