i want to add few things here, when people makes plan then they do it so theoretically, i think thats wht happen in every sector of nepal so the progress is not possible as it should have been, so i think before we plan anything we should first see whts going on practically, so beofre we put anything to government survery to suport it should be key, I believe changes should take place gradually not all at once that will create a disturbance in system. So before we put anything ahead of the government we should have something as a evidence to support our plans.
