We are poor because our economy is mostly based on Agriculture. Production and consumption from non agricultural sector is not enough to lift our Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or Gross National Income (GNI). The per capita income is a standard measure that we use to judge nation average earning power. It is also used to interpret living standard of people in such country. According to world bank data, Nepal's per capita income for 2007 (GNI per capita which is gross national income divided by mid year total population) is only US$340 compare to US$46,040 for the USA. Even Bhutan has US$1770 per capita income and India has US$950 per capita income. We know our nation is very poor compare to the developed countries because we could not keep up with the industrial technology and information technology revolution. For sure, we are lagging far behind in terms of our productivity efficiency and so is earning power. These are the facts. We know already that nobody has to remind us we are the few poorest countries in the world. Its obvious poverty is everywhere in Nepal. 

How do we come up with the solution for this very challenging poverty issue? The question to be asked and need to ponder for solution. We show our real face when someone come up with the innovative and creative ideas to tackle with certain issue. We are just good at pointing finger and complaining other than trying to encourage and support to someone who is trying to find a solution.
