Even a donkey will stop following the hanging food in front of him after a while but Nepalis will still be amazed and hopeful about these make believe things

People should also stop throwing shit, that there is not such major role of govt in development project. It always have been and will always be.

Some of these project are very feasible , like 80 % penetration in cell phone , Internet penetration is true. Meglanchi will be done , but it won't be able to survive khane pani sasthan & can't even fulfill kathmandu's that time. Two fast track will be there but don't know abt quality of those highway. Hrdropower some will be done but I am not very positive abt it, loadsheding will be there for a while in Nepal.

So in conclusion some of these project will be done, not sure abt return and quality of these project. Will these project will make developed country , NOPE, but living condition will be better and lot of us will also start to go back.

Nepal just needs peace and needs to get rid of pollution, people in usa and switzerland would want to make their country Nepal.:) I talk to many foreign people who love Nepal the way it is. We also need to do something about our poverty. 

  

@kiddo
Exactly whatever u said about chopper case holds true for each and everything..
Nepal government does not have that kind of economy to carry out all these infrastrucuture development..My question is where will the funds come from?are we depending on foreign aids on all these?or are we thinking to generate a revenue out in the country and do all these?if we are thinking to generate the revenue does the government support the new and upcoming entrepreneurs.

If someone tells you that with $5 in your pocket you can build a bunglow ,do u think u will believe him just because he showed you hope of building a bunglow with $5 on u.And moreover if you have been dysfunctional for years and have not been doing the kind of job ur supposed to do..do u expect ur friends to pay for u.Not even a bank will pay u if u r so poor that u dont even have assets on u and u did a terrible job on utilizing the money last time.

First thing first..get everyone educated..we forget that literacy rate in Nepal is very low.Before dreaming of making Nepal like Singapore know the world,see and study the developed nation..

At first it seemed that you just wanted to argue your case. But then reading further, there were two points I noted which I found interesting.
First is about money; you are saying there's no money to build these projects. That's exactly what I wanted to point out here...that you guys are just making a comment without understanding what exactly is listed in there. Take Hydropower projects for example, do you know most of the listed ones have feasibility study done and also have identified partners who will be investing on them (GMR for example)? Is there going to be a problem? Yes, it's possible. Even the upper Karnali is having many obstacles erected. But the point is that they are very much possible, not a distant dream!!

Now, the second thing is what you mentioned about fulfilling the basic issue. There's truth to that. We are having issues meeting basic needs of people: energy, water and peace. It only makes sense to focus on addressing these. But the poster doesn't knock those project out of the question; heck it even addresses two issues there: energy and water. We have to be careful about sorting our priorities; many of the fast developing nations like India and China are marching forth but a majority of their population is still under poverty. Our plan should thus gear towards uplifting the whole nation, not just making it easier for the already wealthies. But, that doesn't mean you don't have plans to develop beyond the basic needs.

Again, Udeshya ke linu, Udi chhunu chandra ek.

All,
      Whatever the guy in the poster has outlined is very possible. Because of three very simple reasons.

1) Nepal is not the very very poor country it used to be in the 1980s. Nepal may lack infrastructure but there are enough Nepalis with with the resources and money who can help build the country. The NRN movement is also doing a lot of social/development work and will only increase.

2) Nepal's goverment is not poor these days. It collects about 300 billion a year in taxes and gets another 150-200 in aid. Thats 500 billion.

3) Lastly, the goals in the poster above are not that impossible to achieve. Any country worth its salt produces enough electricity, has highways , railroads and couple of international airports. They're not talking about building a space program, its just about some basic infrastructure that more than a 100+ countries already have. And NO, the completion of the above projects wont turn Nepal into Switzerland or Singapore, may be more like Vietnam or Philippines.

4) Some of the above projects have already began, moving as scheduled or neared completion

-Sikta
-Babai
-Upper Tamakoshi
-Mid Hill Highway
-Upper Karnali
-West Seti
-Kathmandu Tarai Fast Track
-Melamchi
-Pokhara Airport

All of the above projects are scheduled to be over in the next 2-7 years, so even with a little delay 10 years definitely sounds reasonable.

Thanks.

It seems some you have taken offense at my posting earlier in this post.  Perhaps my fault because I might've been too abrupt.  But here's what I meant to say, in simplest terms:

1. The brochure looks good.  All projects are nice to have in Nepal.
2. But it is just a brochure that is more of a wish list.
3. Any of these will come to fruition?  Not likely to impossible.

Why?  Most of these are major projects - airports, railways, trans-himalayan roadways, etc.  Not exactly a private sector venture, so they have to be government projects with multi-lateral aid package.  And we know how these government projects go.  And look at the track record.  Not only during this Mao-badi tenure, but while other parties reigned, while Gyanendra ruled, even while Birendra was the king, you can count major projects accomplished in two hands.  Hence, I say not likely to impossible.

What I see possible and happening are small scale projects, those that can be done individually by families or in cooperation by a neighborhood or a village, or as somewhat larger money making venture that the private sector can invest in.  I don't see any of this on the poster.

Feel free to disagree, but please don't get offended.

This is right down ashishme's alley. His Maoist masters love to hang the carrots like these in front of his nose and he will be pulling his masters wherever they want to go like a loyal donkey.
