In the name of development, the idea that a large part of the donor's technical assistance money is spent on the salaries of foreign consultants is still raised in public from time to time. For years, government officials have also been unaware of the problem of appointing foreign consultants in development projects and taking large amounts of aid themselves. The planners have been saying that the figures of aid received from abroad are visible, but the benefits received by the country are minimal.

Even three decades ago, this problem was almost the same as it is now. Officials of the government formed after the 2046 change used to speak publicly about foreign aid abroad even in the 50s. But the effort to control it was not much. 

The message of how foreign aid is being used in Nepal's development was taken from the photo of Nepal's Kaligandaki Valley taken by Tony Hagan in 2010. In his book, he kept a photograph of a broken wooden plank along with a damaged suspension bridge near the hot spring in front of the Nilgiri mountains in the Kaligandaki valley . He showed this bridge in his book and said that the bridge prepared by local labor and technology is more sustainable than the bridge built with foreign aid. 

Hagan, a Swiss citizen who has been contributing to Nepal's development efforts for a long time, was presenting the issue of the collapse of the bridge built with foreign aid and the displacement of people from the bridge built by the locals as an example. In his message delivered in 2050/051, he criticized the misuse of foreign aid saying that the style of development was four decades ago. In his book, he gave a symbolic example of the failure of foreign aid in the development of Nepal by putting a photo of a broken bridge. 

In a study prepared by the National Planning Commission at that time, it was mentioned that the country's ability to use the technical support of foreign lenders and donor countries is not sufficient. But the process of receiving foreign aid did not stop. In the 40s and 50s, the data showed that Nepal received foreign aid equal to 5 billion rupees annually.

According to the study of the Planning Commission, there was a tendency to impose foreign aid more than the local demand. In particular, the officials of the Commission accepted the plan that the plan and procedure of the money received would be made in the design of foreigners and the management of the purchase of goods would be arranged by them. Khemraj Nepal, the spokesperson of the commission, claimed to have made a strategy of not taking technical support from loans for the social sector.

The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank are the organizations providing technical assistance in Nepal. According to the annual report published from Manila at that time, the Asian Development Bank provided 16 technical assistance worth 300 million to Nepal throughout 1993. Almost 50 percent of the aid was returned to their own country by the advisors of the aid donor under the tax facility.

20 percent of the amount received was used to train local manpower abroad. The remaining 10 percent was spent on deploying local technology. Member of Planning Commission Dr. Vinayak Bhadra said that there has been a development of reliance on foreign aid in areas such as electricity. Even though foreign aid was taken, experts said that it was not properly utilized. 

Bhadra said that priority should be given to skilling the local manpower and transfer of technology. The spokesperson of the Commission claimed that Nepalis have been hired instead of foreign consultants. Spokesperson Nepal informed that they have started hiring Nepali consultants in the fields of drinking water and health projects with the support of the Japanese government, crop projects with the help of the Asian Development Bank, UNICEF budget studies, and quality tourism partnership projects.

At that time, 2 to 3 thousand employees were trained abroad every year. For that, 1 billion was spent annually from the projects . But what kind of training do they have? Is it an inspection? Is it a conference? Will you get a degree? The allocation was not done. So far, no government agency had the data on how many Nepalis have received training. The news prepared by journalist Narayan Wagle was published by Kantipur on 9th Baisakh, 2051 under the title 'How much is the country's development from foreign consultants?'.
