CIVIL INSIGHT 2018 Q. What message would you like to give to the aspiring future engineers in Hydropower Development? There is a high potential for hydropower in our country with large market coverage for ongoing (under construction) hydropower projects (more than 200 in number) and more projects at planning phase (300-400 in number). Currently, hydropower engineers having 4-5 years of work experience have high demand on average. So, working in the hydropower sector has great scope in Nepal. “Right man in the right place at the right time is necessary.” INTERVIEW 99 Q. Would you like to impart any message for the general public? Every individual should contribute towards the development of Nepal rather than just depending upon a single individual. A righteous decision needs to be made while choosing the right person for leading the development works. Nepal has a great future ahead in the energy sector and hydropower is the only source as an economic driver which can uplift the economic status of the country in the long run. We have planned to end problems like load shedding in the upcoming days. Please keep providing the support for effi cient utilization of energy with no wastage.
