What can be done for to enhance the ICT Revolution in Nepal?
Related to country: Nepal



• National/Regional/Zonal/District/VDC/ ward/small village level ICT(Information Communication Technology) Taskforce should be formed

• Establishing CIC is the best way to implement this Taskforce development

• According our more than three years of experience in this field, the best approach for success is following the notion of “By the Community for the Community and with the community”. It means Lets try to ware them with the importance of ICT in individual’s life and motivate them to be interested to take this initiative themselves.

• “The One and only alternative for Development of Nepal is through ICT”. Proper use of ICT enables all the areas of development to happen in an easier, simpler and scientific way.

• A rigid policy and action plan should be prepared by the detailed research of the Remote areas of Nepal. Plans and Policies prepared just by considering the success stories of other countries are not sufficient. We need to identify the key areas where ICT can help the life of Villagers easier and better than before. Providing Computers, Internet, telephone, fax and photocopy machine to villages is not only sufficient. Important thing to analyze is what in particular community take can benefit from these resources to enhance their business and other works.

• Government should try to use the Resources of School and Colleges of different parts of Nepal.

• Still there is a lack of ICT awareness through Mass media e.g. Newspapers, Television, FM, Radio etc. They can play very important role to support our mission of “ICT Revolution in Nepal”.

• Every Village should be encouraged to prepare the village profile every year. Also the concept of “senior people Experience book “(“ब्रिध्ध अनुभब पुस्तिका”) should be implemented in every village of Nepal. The knowledge is in our villages, with our grandfathers/grandmothers/Fathers/mothers/brother/sisters living in their villages. They are the ones who know about the village history/Geography etc. We need to document that precious knowledge from them. This knowledge will help Government or any organization to carry out development activities. CIC,Dhital ,CIC Mayatari, CIC Bayatari and CIC Kaskikot are implementing this concept.

• Government can take the bottom up approach for the preparing plans and policies only if there is CIC in every village. Indeed the Village community plans for their village development and forward it to the Government. Then only can our country feel the pace of Development. We are proposing the government from village level about the areas of development for particular villages through the Community Information Centers (CIC). This should be implemented everywhere villages of Nepal.

• Conferences /Seminars/ Workshop should be organized in the grass root level. The organizing these kinds of programs should be handed over to the Community themselves. If there is a security problem then the government should call all the people/Organizations/Business/Industries/ Academic Institutions to volunteer in ICT revolution activities in their capacity. So this can happen more spontaneously by the notion of “By the community for the Community and with the community.” Government need not make budget and security as the major barriers. Rather Government should empower all Nepalese to help voluntarily in this initiative. Not only should the Government, Every individual must feel the equal responsibility to develop their own villages through ICT. The best thing about ICT is even talking about it also is beneficial.

• I also like to call upon all the political parties of Nepal to raise ICT issues to their party members. It’s high time that our political leaders also speak about the importance of ICT for development of Nepal. If only we could make them feel the importance of ICT /CIC they are the ones who are frequently having meetings and programs in Villages. Rather always giving speech about the same old stereotypes. They must give speech for the awareness of ICT. Indeed they should also take the initiative to establish CIC in every villages of Nepal. However these CIC shouldn’t be politicized and used for particular Party benefits. Every Political parties one of the Top Priority should be to create ICT/Knowledge revolution in Nepal.

• Government should make a policy reform for mandatory Community Service in Remote areas for the partial fulfillment of their Degree. If only two educated youths out of 200 can contribute in this initiative. Then we can think of “One CIC per Village” (“हरेक गाॐमा एॐटा सामूदायिक सूचना केन्द्र”) .Nepal Rural Information Technology Development Society (NRIDS) is also taking the fresh graduates for voluntary service in CICs. But this should be implemented all over Nepal.

• We are now conducting awareness campaign in Grass Root level and also preparing for the District Level ICT conferences and workshops.

• NRIDS is conducting Information Brothers and Information Sisters (सूचना दाई र सूचना दिदि) Program. Foreigners as well as Nepalese whoever comes to volunteer in CICs they are honored as Information Brothers and Information Sisters of NRIDS. Our Information Brothers and Sisters are inside and outside the county. Outside the Country they are in Australia, Japan and America. The concept is not to expect funding/donations from them. Motive is to transfer the knowledge they have to the community; promoting the village tourism; introducing the villages to the world.

• NRIDS is an organization having a potential team of IT Engineers. The team members are voluntarily working for “Establishing CICs in remote Villages of Nepal”. The Concerned authority should utilize the experience/Expertise of Engineers like us who are working day and night for the development of Nepal through ICT. It is important to involve many youths dedicated for this kind of movement from the initial planning to formulation of plans and Policies.

• NRIDS’s working modality is Collaboration with small groups such as Aama Samuha /Youth Club/organizations and government agencies for the Long Run.
