In my opinion, we can achieve unprecedented economic growth in the coming decade since all circumstances has created favourable environment for the growth. Even if the political stagnation is not ended, economic growth and development activities should not be halted due to vested interest of some political parties or leaders. People should not suffer due to inefficiency of the political leadership and the problem of over politicisation of economy should be ended.
Politics is all about making people happy and prosperous and economic activities help to achieve this aim. Domination of political agendas and lack of employment opportunities will create frustration among citizens and ultimately the situation may create financial disorder. All political parties should be aware of all these facts and let the economy to take its own course.
Engagement of local people in development activities should be ensured to change the approach of development. I think, micro entrepreneurship should be accelerated for economic prosperity. The government should encourage grassroots people to involve in the entrepreneurship. It is worth mention here that agriculture, hydropower and tourism sector are all set to take off to boost our economy. We have tremendous potential for the development. Successive government has been earmarking sufficient budget for the development of agriculture sector creating more opportunities to the farmers. The state should also bring a convincing policy to utilise remittance money in the productive sector.
The government should focus on poorest of the poor section to achieve sustainable development. Economic growth provides opportunities where people can realize their hopes and desires for themselves and their children. I want every people can see their future in this country. Nationalism is not all about political slogan but also collective effort to make the country prosperous. Together we can make this country one of the happiest in the world within next five years or a decade.
