In a bid to create employment opportunities in Nepal, the Nepal Government has come up with an \u2018employment program\u2019 that won the appreciation and praise of Nepal\u2019s youth wing representatives.<\/p>\n
Recently, the Nepal Labor, Employment and Social Security Ministry (MoLESS) has begun collecting various opinions from stakeholders including youth leaders from various political parties on the upcoming employment scheme.<\/p>\n
Nepal Youth Leaders Opinions & Suggestions<\/strong> \u201cSuch schemes have been introduced in our neighboring countries, but never before in Nepal. In the absence of such government efforts, even educated people are migrating abroad and are forced to take up menial jobs,\u201d said Singh<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n He adds that the government should create jobs opportunities for the youth based on their geographical regions.<\/p>\n Similarly, Nepal Congress – Youth Wing Nepal Tarun Dal Uttam Chapagain suggested that the Nepal Government should give equal importance to vocational training under the program.<\/p>\n \u201cUnemployed youths should be provided with skill-based training so that even uneducated people can have income opportunities and earn respect for what they do. As an agricultural country, the program should generate jobs in the farm sector,\u201d said Chapagain<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In addition, Nepal Communist Party\u2019s Youth Association Nepal (YAN) President Ramesh Poudel emphasized on the need for creation of a \u2018Development Force\u2019, which can be used for \u2018big developmental projects in the country\u2019.<\/p>\n \u201cSuch force should be developed under this program so that they get to work and contribute to nation-building. Also, various scattered programs of giving employment to youths should be merged into one,\u201d adds Poudel<\/span>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Scope of the Employment Scheme<\/strong>
\nSpeaking at a recent survey program for youth leaders, Rashtriya Janata Party-Nepal Youth Leader Ranjeet Kumar Singh called the program a \u2018first-of-its-kind\u2019 program in Nepal, where millions of youth opt for foreign employment.<\/p>\n
\nThe ambitious project aims to create a minimum of 100,000 jobs<\/a> in the country, per year and will engage Nepal unemployed youth in agriculture, forest & environment, animal husbandry and reconstruction, among the total 11 sectors.<\/p>\n
