I believe not everyone has to be in policy making in order to contribute in development of the country. There are many aspects how an individual can contribute in nations development like environmental, social and judiciary.
Environmental: In fast few years the pollution in the Nepal has increased, air is so polluted in kathmandu that it is hard to breathe. So as an individual we can walk instead of taking vehicles if the distance is short and use horn only when it is genuinely required. Similarly, garbage management is the biggest problem of the country. we can contribute to lessen the burden of garbage management by utilizing the perishable garbage by dumping in open space in our houses. The biggest contribution will be if we start throwing trash in dustbins instead of anywhere, we have been contributing in making our country look dirty by throwing wastage wherever we like. The biggest contribution would be to keep our surrounding clean, if everyone keeps their respective surrounding clean country can be clean with no government funding.
Social: We Nepali’s are limited only within the family and relatives but what we have to learn is to encourage social clubs which are established for good cause like Child club, youth club and senior citizen club. Kathmandu is becoming congested day by day and we no longer can afford to buy open space, so we have to start doing things in group for example opening library for kids in collective effort, running cleaning campaign and in short, coming all the neighbor together and be social to exchange information and ideas. Doing this helps people in getting updated of country’s current affairs and schemes, say some hydro company is opening shares, how is “X” school better for kids, how “Y” policy of government is helping citizen. In short, being social brings positive change in people due to demonstration effect with the spread of positive information.
Judiciary: Many of us know run that government runs out of our tax paid money, but very few of us know about the services that we, as a citizen, deserve from the money we paid. When we go to get service in government offices, we need not have to bow at government officers to get service. It is their obligation to provide us service because they get salary out of the money we paid as tax directly or indirectly. The awareness about civic sense has to increase among people, hope one day kids will be educated about civic sense in school. The next thing is paying the tax, and being abide by rule like traffic rule, standing in queue where we are supposed to stand. Moreover, we have to focus more on becoming logical than emotional while making decisions . In short, we have to focus on being more ethical. Lastly, Never forget to vote if you are inside the country.
