Also it is note worthy that couple of days back Nepal signed a MOU to import 60 MW of electricity from India and 35 hours of load shedding per week probably keeps Nepal on the top of “Dark Country”. I have been wondering what were the insurgents thinking when they stalled the construction of so many development projects during there decade long insurgency.  I applaud the Mao leaders of Nepal, for at least thinking about such an ambitious plan and showing that the development of Hydropower was their first priority l.

             I understand that their insurgency was necessary for the upliftment of Nepal and I have no hesitation to say that the today’s rural Nepal is more informed and more empowered after this so called “People’s War”. However, my concern here and I know many other people will agree to this is what if they had left the development workers and projects out this conflict and concentrate their war some other way.

             Anyways, the end point that I am trying to reiterate is,  if they had kept this optimism about Nepal’s hydropower development  during their insurgency , their target hydropower development at this point of time would have been reduced by 2000 MW ; and probably only 8000 MW more might have been left to achieve the 10000 MW goal.

             I like to be optimistic and think that no other imminent insurgency will occur and push back our development prospective. If all of us are fighting for the development and enrichment of Nepalese life then let’s leave the development process out of the conflicts. I think only if we can be disciplined to leave the construction and development process out of such conflicts only then we can attract the investors. What do you say?
