bishnu,
pls. read the response before answering.
u talked about RNA and peace keeping mission. Response is limited to RNA, its HMG budget allocation and that;s it.
[ there is no need to digress to importance of foreign remittence to nepalese economy]
[ 100-200 soldiers deployed for a year u must be dreaming dude!!! . there are at least 6000[ may be even more] RNA's deployed in UNIFIL, congo, serbia, .. ... total of 8 fronts ]
budget allocated by HMG for Royal Nepalese Army[RNA] is roughly NRs 9,00,00,00,000
# of army personnel : 50,000 [ CIA facts.]
average salary of 1 army personnel : NRs. 5,000/month = Nrs. 60,000/yr
total salary = NRs. 3,00,00,00,000
Retired and Pensions for army personnel [ roughly 100,000 [minimum]]
total pension payments = NRs. 6,00,00,00,000
u got the fact now... the money allocated by HMG for army is gone paying salary only.
u want to know how much army makes in the UN deployment? here is an estimation:
UN pays roughly from $1500 to $3500 per month per soldier. RNA gives depending upon ranks $300 to $700. on an average they make a solid $2000/month/soldier. Average deployment period of 6 months with 8000 active soldier deployed $192,000,000/year =
NRS 13,44,00,00,000
do you get the picture how much money ???
actual figure is much more than this.... i am just giving u an idea how RNA covers its expenses.

but as always,
what do i know? (o:
