international level................hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!! first we have to come up at local and regional level then we can talk about international level.

we are so good at blame game and finger pointing. okay, do you know who is the minister for science and technology? do you know RONAST? it is on nepalnews.com webpage. you can find all the ministers and some even have biodata. check it out.

nepal is an open area for all kinds of research and studies but we don't have resources. we don't have 24/7 electric power to fuel our computers (we still use hands down omputers) and other infrastructures are also weak. our leaders are old school types. don't know what the heck is going around??

first thing is we have to have strong manpower and strong infrastrutures.

another thing - there are proffs who has done great researches in fragile ecosystems of nepal but their paper hardly comes out.

i have started to do something different. i did a research in nepal and going to publish that paper in 'Remote Sensing of Environment' - an internationally reknowned journal. u don't have to be in nepal to do something. u can use resources of developed country to develop ur country.

hope you have the answer now.
