In this episode, we dive deep into the challenges and failures of National Pride Projects in Nepal. From mismanagement and lack of accountability in Nepal projects to the monopoly of contractor companies, we explore why government projects in Nepal are not progressing as planned. The discussion highlights critical issues like bureaucracy in Nepal, frequent employee transfers, and policy enforcement gaps that hinder the success of infrastructure initiatives. We also shed light on the Budigandaki Hydropower Project and the Rs 5/liter tax you’ve been paying for its development. Discover why projects like the Naghdhunga tunnel project and Sichai project Nepal face delays and how the removal of milestones in government projects is impacting progress. The episode delves into how blacklisted contractors in Nepal and the lack of accountability laws in Nepal allow big contractors to manipulate the system. We also discuss the process of selecting Nepal’s infrastructure development projects and the political influences that lead to delays. With insights into policy and politics in Nepal, we provide a comprehensive overview of why project deadlines in Nepal are rarely met and how the monopoly of government contractor companies in Nepal creates inefficiencies. Watch as we discuss real stories, from blacklisted companies to national policies that shape the future of Nepal’s development projects.
