People's Right to Development.

People's Right to Development.
· Madhav Pd Adhikari

Nepal is a developing country with a population of 25 million and relatively poor per-capita resources. It is suffering a long insurgency and the underdevelopment for a long time. The right to exist and develop thus historically became the urgent demand of the Nepali people. There are not any indications which give the basic policy of continually improving the people's right to existence and development on the basis of economic development
Only the sustained, quick and healthy growth of Nepalese economy can change the level of Nepalese overall social development and conspicuously improved the right to existence and development of the Nepalese people.
The incomes of urban residents have increased steadily. Nepal's urban residents are close to living a comfortable life according to their level of consumption. The majority of rural residents have not enough food and clothing and their consumption patterns have been decreases. There is also unequal economic development between rural areas and urban areas because of natural conditions and bad governmental Policy.
Nepal should taken basic principle for developing her economy considering to both efficiency and fairness. While some areas and some people have been developed then government should give the priority for the poor areas and people, so that all the people in the country will ultimately become prosperous. Therefore, the government should to help the hilly areas to develop their economy, raise the living standard of the people.
The state should help poor areas build an infrastructure of water, electricity and roads, improve the ecological environment and basic production and living conditions, and build stable and high-yield farmland despite drought or excessive rain.. Various circles and people's organizations in Nepal forced to play an active part in aiding the poor in different ways.
Even so, the work of aiding the poor in Nepal is still a long-term and arduous task. At present, 35% of people do not have enough food and clothing. Most of them are living in the mountainous area, desolate, high and cold areas, and in hilly region where only scatter villagers are stay and in areas where endemic diseases rage. More must be done to help these people get away from poverty. More arduous circumstance confront to the government.
At present, Nepal is drawing up the tenth Five-Year Plan and three year plan for National Economic and Social Development. Objectives have taken to enable the Nepalese people to realize their right to existence and development on a higher level and broader scope than before.
