My Experience is little bit different in Nepal. It is an excellent idea to go back and work in Nepal. This is not to discourage anyone just sharing honest experience. In early twenties I passed "LokSewa" twice and both case I didn’t join the Bureaucracy. My decision to appear in "Loksewa" was just to prove myself that I am capable. Instead I joined an Organization which offered me a 5 yrs contract (it was a Nepali Academic ORG with 10% more salary that that of the govt.). In that org. I was instrumental in establishing a National laboratory(I was tasked). Once the laboratory was established, there was a political appointment to the head of the lab. I became second person. I continued working, after 5 yrs there was another political appointment and I became third person in lab. In my late twenties I was instrumental in Nepal working hard here and there and was involved as a founder member of two professional organizations. These two organizations could not do that well but functioning to date to some extent. These two were not money making org. we had to generate money to operate them. I was the first to generate (commercially) the operating money for one of these organizations. But when it was time to make a visit to Japan they called the meeting without informing me and one of them went to Japan. In the mean time I was also involved as an active founder member of one NGO which was able to make money in its first year without us investing a rupee, as it was non profit NGO we were supposed to invest this money in other activities. We did that, second yr it generated more money, then the real play started. After second yr. president of the NGO who was almost 10 yrs older than me started to play foul. I thought who cares, so second yr I started another branch of that NGO and this time they agreed to make me the head, but this guy tried everything possible (indirectly) to make me fail. But that didn’t happen, I was successful as usual. All these I did in my late 20. Unfortunately because of unavoidable personal circumstances, I left Nepal for about 5 yrs after handing over the second org also to the same guys. At present, the laboratory is only national laboratory of its kind with international recognition. Both NGOs have become money making machine; their collective property is about 200 million rupees. Both of these NGO are now converted to Public Company (I do not know how they manage to do that) and my friends are enjoying the money. When I visit Nepal I always visit those places. PPl working their respect me very much. Workers in NGO (now so called NGO) tell me how much money that organization is making and request me to return and join the organization. What they don’t know is other founder members have already made me legally week in that regard. I wanted to share this just to make ppl aware of real life hard fact what usually happens in Nepal. Please do not take this for anything else.
