Entrepreneurship is the process of new ventures involving creativity

entrepreneurs. In the developing country like Nepal can give the
boom to the economy of country. Nepal is ready to grow because it
is young, energetic, and reaching out to participate in global
economy. There are plenty of investment opportunities here.

development of our nation. The future of Nepal cannot be
dependent on foreign aids and remittance only. If we want to
move forward on a sustainable economic growth, then there
should be enough support and sustainable environment for
new entrepreneurship and innovations.Entrepreneurship is
important because it will not only create employment but it
will create positive impact on the youths. Everyday young and
energetic population are leaving Nepal in search of
opportunities. If all the Nepalese citizens are engaged in

economy. In recent years, the country's efforts to expand into
manufacturing industries and other technological sectors have
achieved much progress. Agriculture is the mainstay of the
economy, providing a livelihood for more than 70% of the
population and accounting for a little over one-third of GDP.
Industrial activity mainly involves the processing of agricultural
products, including pulses, jute, sugarcane, tobacco, and grain.
Nepal, being a country rich in water resources, has
considerable scope for exploiting its potential in hydropower
with an estimated 42,000 MW of commercially feasible
capacity. It also has the potential to promote and grow the
tourism sector as it is fully covered with beautiful snowcapped
mountains, abundant flora and fauna, exiting trekking routes
and rich cultural diversity.
Nepal is more committed towards agriculture sector and the government is
currently focusing on the modernization, diversification, commercialization
and marketing of the agriculture sector. With increasing government support
towards agriculture sector, entrepreneurs can take more advantage from it.
But there is still hope in Nepal towards the path of entrepreneurship. The
sectors like agriculture, tourism and IT have scopes for entrepreneurship. As
per the latest World Bank annual rating, Nepal ranks at 110th position in the
ease of doing business among 190 countries of the world. The many
advantages for promoting entrepreneurship in Nepal like legal support,
favorable environment, major youth population and abundant resources.
