Kathmandu University (KU) to Organize Academia Industry Meet 2023
Nepal's economic landscape is currently facing significant challenges, marked by limited employment opportunities and a declining quality of life. The industrial sector, vital for economic stability, struggles due to insufficient government support and lack of investment. This scenario has led to a concerning trend of "brain drain," with students moving abroad for better educational and career prospects.
