Highlights

  • In the society, the youth were given the knowledge that they should earn money, but the state could not provide the knowledge and place to use the skills. Is remittance to the state only important or also youth power?

While walking or looking out of the bus window, you can see a lot of young people carrying large bags and delivering food on bicycles. One mind thinks that the youth who came to Kathmandu with various dreams have got partial employment. Another mind also thinks that the number of people preparing food in kitchens in the city is decreasing?

The number of ordering food has also increased. There is no opportunity to interview the young people who ride bicycles to deliver food or lunch orders to their homes or offices. What is their job for the sake of earning a living? And, ask what are your hopes or dreams for the future. However, it was not possible. You will get a chance to regularly talk or listen to the young people who have found employment through Pathao or Indrive. It seems like a

, Kathmandu is a city with a lot of motorbikes. Now a motorcycle or scooty has added employment to the youth. Men and women are involved in this job. Many people take this service because it is faster for passengers and the fare is lower than taxis. I myself often travel to different places by taking the service of such motorcycles. There are some riders who reach their destination by gossiping a lot. Some quietly take the passengers to their destination.

A driver is seventeen-eighteen years old. Studying class 12. He wants to go abroad to study IT. But he was telling that he joined the riding service because his father could not afford his expenses. According to him, not all passengers are honest. It is his experience that this profession seems to be easy even though some customers reprimand, do not come to the destination on time, cancel the confirmed trip, but it is very tough. However, his goal is to go abroad.

reached out to talk to a motorcycle service provider the other day. That young man was also very gossipy. After 30 years, he has been arranging the process for a year to go abroad. He said that he is working in this profession to earn money until the visa comes. He was telling that he also did hotel business, some of his friends were working as doctors and some as food experts. He said that he was educated and had done various businesses for livelihood. The family consists of a small child and a wife and mother. He was telling that he was going to go abroad on the advice of his family and friends because business in Nepal was not satisfactory. They were saying that no job is organized and safe here. Perhaps he was sharing the experience of eating Hunder in his old age.

For the middle class like him, the corona epidemic had a big impact. Those who started their business by taking a loan from the bank with their house, are now under a lot of stress. Existing businesses collapsed, new jobs could not be created and young people like him chose to migrate abroad. He said that even though the land he owns is half the price, he has been paying off the debt by selling it. He was also riding the motorcycle at high speed. It seemed that he has political wisdom. He also told the general complaint that Nepali people are suffering because of the tendency of the leaders in this country.

'It's enough for everyone to eat themselves. What a good job the Mayor of Kathmandu has done. Work should be like this. If it was a party, how many people would have to participate, but after independence, no one should be offended,'' he argued. I hummed in my heart - it seems that the youths are made only by Kathmandu metropolis. It was impossible to ignore the fact that something new was seen when the youth led. But I also felt that the habit of believing and reacting immediately to what is in front of the youth, without trying to analyze the rest of the world, is developing. Another thing also kept playing in my mind - our ideal political parties and their leaders have left the people's concerns behind. Shouldn't the parties indulging in power lust and corruption be serious about raising the issue of people's livelihood?

The motorcyclist was saying that since his home is in Terai, the heat is rising, he misses his little children and thus he is worried about how to go abroad even after leaving his family. It can be inferred from his words that our young generation is indifferent towards their society, family and leadership. They are developing a negative feeling towards all these. There is no work in Nepal, after having to suffer, there is an intention to go to a better and more orderly country.

After everyone goes abroad, even those who say they live here are asked why they did not go abroad. Such a state of mind is really making people want to leave the country. In our society, the youth were given the knowledge that they should earn money, but the state could not provide them with the knowledge and place to work hard and use their skills. Therefore, instead of traveling abroad, the mood is getting ready to go abroad forever or until the fruitful life.

Is only remittances to the state important or youth power too? Isn't there a need to find the root cause of young people going abroad? Many of them are forced to go abroad even after their old age. Some have a desire, some have to study abroad. Some will settle there. In this way, our country will only be of hopeful parents who are suffering from the same chronic disease! There is a situation where the youth themselves have to find opportunities and create opportunities. The fact that the state should employ the youth by operating large factories and stop the youth power in the country has only added to the problem everywhere. The future of our society is also in confusion like this youth.
