( I have been doing research on current and proposed projects, which if constructed as planned, will definetely uplift Nepal to developing countries of Asian standards.) Some of these are: 1) Multipurpose & reservoir styled Upper Karnali Hydropower Project 2) Arun 3 (In a condition that electricity will be supplied to eastern region of Nepal as per demand.) 3) west Seti storage Hydropower project (750 megawatt) 4) Budigandaki storage Hydropower Project (600 megawatt) 5) Tamakoshi 3 Hydropower Project (600 megawatt) 6) Midhill Highway linking east west Nepal 7) Kathmandu-Terai Fast Track 8) Kathmandu-Hetauda Tunnel Way 9) North-south corridors (linking Tibet to India via Nepal) 10) Chemical fertilizer plants in various part of Nepal 11) Developing Lumbini as makka-madina/vatican of Buddhists 12) Upgrading Pokhra and Bhairawa airport to regional international airport. 13) Developing at least 5 Dhulikhel Community Hospital style healthcare facility in every zone of Nepal 14) Merging government schools and colleges, upgrading them with necessary facilities and human resource. 15) Developing Agro based industries like meat/dairy/herbs/spice processing plants in each and every districts of Nepal according to their specialties. Ex. eastern (Ilam) is known for tea/herb whereas farwestern regions(Doti) for herbs (Yarshagumba). If government can develop processing plants in public private people partnership (4P) model, no kidding these plants will create employment for 1000s. Deprived won't have to go to India to become bahadur and khancha. 16) Government subsidy to people who want to buy modern agruculture equipments like tractors, trucks, harvestors etc. 17) Construction of Sikta, Babai, Naumure irrigration projects on time so that 1000s of hectar of fertile Terai land can be irrigated. Doing that 4 cycles of cultivation can be done easily throughout the year. (Now its hardly twice) Jay Nepal

Liked your Plan..it will definitely work. Please share some idea about funding and involvment of general public into these projects.

Not to be confused, these projects are not my plan, some of them are already under construction and some in the pipeline. Mobilizing national capital (i.e from Banks, Cooperatives, EPF, Insurance companies, Public Investment Fund) is not enough to implement these projects. Successful financing of these projects demand foreign direct investment (FDI). 2 Models of Financing: 1) Khimti HEP Model: Kimti was primarily financed by foreign investment only where investing company later became the owner of that project. Though the investing company became malamal, due to narrow and corrupt mentality of the then water resource minister, secretery and hakims Khimti model was a major failure given Nepal Electricity Authority is suffering huge loss (in millions) every year from purchasing electricity produced from Khimti. 2) Chilime Model: Chilime HEP was financed, designed, managed and operated by nepali company. One of the best parts of this project is to include investment from local people (by providing them stocks). Doing that local people were financially benefited and also felt the sense of ownership (due to this they didn't made unnecessary demands and obstructions to project). This Chilime model is fairly successful compared to other HEP constructed in Nepal. Chilime was a small size project (only around 22 megawatt) so less money was required. To construct megaprojects like West Seti, Budigandaki, heavy industries we can use this chilime model with FDI included in it. But the owner of any of these projects should be nepali company.
