Technology adoption in Nepal

If we look after the technological status of the country, it is far below par. Although there are abundant engineers who can do better, they are under shadow due to no realization of their capacity. We need to praise the works from the entrepreneurs or startups or innovators who have done something for the IT usage.

But still, the overall adoption and usage are not satisfactory. There have been very little works done from the government bodies to date. Let’s take an example of Smart city, lawmakers, bureaucrats & political parties have spoken a lot about it but they don’t know what is the first step to go for the Smart City.

We hope the appointment of Mr. Asgar Ali will result in some changes in technology adoption and the usage of some platforms for making people live better. The appointment of experts from a different field in such post regardless of ideology is a good sign and key to the achievement of prosperity dream that we all have.
