Kathmandu, Oct 6 : Finance Minister
Dr Prakash Sharan Mahat has said cooperation and collaboration between
government and private sector is essential to address unemployment problem in
Nepal.
Addressing an interaction organized
by Nepal Training and Employment Entrepreneurs' Federation here Thursday,
Minister Mahat viewed professional and skill-based trainings should be provided
based on market need. Only demand based training can create jobs and contribute
to national economy, he argued.
He stressed that Federation could
produce competent workers in the wake of exodus of Nepalis to foreign land for
employment. It is worrying that country has shortage of both competent human
resources and employment opportunities. Minister Mahat commented that although
many institutions including Labour Department, Department of Foreign Employment
and private sectors were providing trainings, they were yet to be
result-oriented.
On the occasion, Federation
Chairman Achyut Nepal informed that Federation was providing skill-based
training with the partnership of government so that gap between demand and
supply sides of human resources could be fulfilled. (RSS)
