4) Educational, Health, Infrastructures (Drinking water, Transportation, Communication, Road, Electricity, Industrial, Agricultural) Nepal's record in improving the liviing standards of a majority of its people is abysmal. Nepal is among the bottom five in the world bank's annual development report. Almost 40%(according to nepali goverments claim) of the Nepali population live below a reasonble poverty line. Nearly 60%of Nepali are illiterate. Infant morality is 48 per 1000 births. On all infrastructure indices we are wll below, forget South Asian counterparts we are in level with failed states like Ethiopia! Our goverment spends less money for health, education and other basic infrastructres than the cumulitive pay for bureaucracy. On top of it we nailed our own coffin by raising Royal family and palaces expenditure in expence of Nepali ppl. Nepali bureaucracy has self-serving style to determine peoverty. Medical journals and WHO has said that a healthy persons need 2200-2400 cal. a day not to be considered malnutritioned mean u need the min. above amount to be fit and healthy person. Now our goverment have taken this statement and determines the poverty line. That is if u are thrown foodgrains that can deliver that much energy a day than u areno longer poor. Given the rise in food garin production and goverment investement by the ways of subsidies, it is no wonder every successive goverment is able to crow that poverty levels are coming down.
