Introduction
Youth migration in Nepal for foreign employment is high in comparison to south Asian countries. The lack of industrialization, lack of governmental support in the agricultural sector and financial insecurity in investment push youth forward to migration. Youth are educated but due to a lack of practical skills, their education remains unproductive. If they wish to run their own income-generating activities, they do not have skills. Meanwhile, a large number of Indian people come with skills to Nepal and get good opportunities.
It is our perception that Baiteshwor RM also has high migration for foreign employment. Their major destination of them is the Arabian countries. Some of them move to Japan, Australia, and European countries. However, they are often undermined in payment considering their hands-on skill.
This training proposal is focused on training 30 youth in different sectors.
- 10 persons for electric technicians
- 10 persons for a plumbing technician
- 10 persons for AC maintenance
Nowadays, a plumber or an electrician charges NRs. 30,000 per floor in Kathmandu for their services. AC technicians also earn good earnings based on cases.
In order to conduct the training, we have already assured the fund of NRs. 560,000.00 from Samundra Belgium. Individuals will participate with a total of NRs. 70,000.00. This proposal is submitted with great expectations from NRs. 770,000..
