Some local levels in the district have started making young people who have returned from abroad entrepreneurs. This is the first time they have been provided with entrepreneurship training. Tatopani and Sinja rural municipalities in the district have started providing entrepreneurship training to young people who have spent a long time in foreign employment to apply their experience and skills in their home country.
Sinja rural municipality chair Purna Prasad Dhital said, ‘Some young people have spent a long time abroad. Efforts are being made to make them entrepreneurs so that they can use the skills they have learned in their home country. This will provide them with opportunities to get jobs in their villages.’
In the first phase, Sinja and Tatopani are going to make 20 young people entrepreneurs. Tatopani rural municipality chair Nanda Prasad Chaulagain said that they are going to be mobilized to increase their income by operating small industries and businesses based on local products. He said, ‘There is a saying that young people are unemployed. Now a campaign has been launched to make young entrepreneurs by using foreign skills in the country. Both local levels have stated that they should get in touch with the municipality within 7 days.
‘We will not let the skills and experience of those who have returned from abroad go to waste,’ said Tatopani Chairman Chaulagain. ‘Now there is a plan to create employment in the village and end the situation of having to go abroad again.’ He said that there is also a plan to implement foreign employment experience at the local level and promote entrepreneurship. He said that training has been arranged to encourage youth who have not been able to do anything despite having no experience and attract them to entrepreneurship. For this, coordination is being done with government and non-government bodies for cost sharing. The local level has also taken a policy of providing grants and entrepreneurial loans at concessional interest rates to youth who have returned from foreign employment to establish and operate businesses based on the latest knowledge and skills.
Youth participating in the entrepreneurship training will have to submit an application form, a copy of Nepali citizenship, a copy of one of the following documents as proof of return from foreign employment: passport, visa, or work permit, and a recent passport-sized photograph. Selected youth will also be provided with interest-free loans in coordination with the municipality and organizations. It is also stated that priority will be given to youth who have received training in other development and employment promotion programs of the municipality.
