What are the challenges faced by engineering services in Nepal?

Engineering services in Nepal face several challenges. One of the main issues is a scarcity of skilled engineers due to the brain drain phenomenon, where qualified professionals seek opportunities abroad. This leads to a shortage of experienced engineers and hampers the overall development of the sector. Additionally, inadequate infrastructure and a lack of modern equipment further hinder the engineering services. Limited access to funding and investment opportunities restrict the implementation of large-scale engineering projects. Moreover, the country's geographical location in a seismic zone poses a constant challenge for engineers, who need to design and construct structures that can withstand earthquakes. Overcoming these challenges requires focused efforts to retain and train skilled engineers, improve infrastructure, attract investment, and develop robust seismic resistant designs.
