CHAPTER II
INTRODUCTION OF THE INDUSTRY
2.1 Background
Nepal, a country in South Asia, lies between the two emerging giants of the world – India
and China. This provides with a unique competitive advantage. It has preferential market
access and good economic relations with both these two fast growing economies. Though
Nepal is small in area, it has a market size bigger than that of many developed and
developing countries because of its relatively large population of more than 27 million.
Likewise, the increasing inflow of remittance has increased the consumption capacity of
the people. Nepal's GDP in 2017 was USD 24.47 billion.
Nepal has evolved in lots of ways in term of business. Upon the exclusion of
International relations, this country has emerged its own line of traditional business since
the medieval era. During the times where industrialization had not landed upon the
country's lap, it run its own basic industries like, woodwork, pottery, Nepal paper, etc.
These items still have not lost their charms. Currently these industries play a crucial role
in terms of original traditional business. With the commencement of private sectors, the
economy of the country leapt forward. Upon the vital call, people shifted their resource
interest towards private sectors more. Government based industry were found to be
lacking modernization. Their traditional ways of dealing with the service provision were
over powered by the private sectors. Comparatively, people preferred their services
rendered by the private sectors. The economic domain altered towards Private sectors;
whether it is Airline, Communication etc. (fncci, 2017)
Nepal became 147th member of the WTO IN 2004 and has preferential trade agreement
with both its neighbors, China and India. Nepal is also the member of SAARC and
SAFTA. Involvement in various multi and regional forums has provided Nepal with free
and preferential access to international market.
20
Various important sectors of economy in Nepal are :
Nepal is an agricultural country having more than 60 percent people directly engaged in
farming. Farming is subsistent in nature and crop is mostly integrated with livestock. It
consists of food crops, cash crops, other crops, livestock, forestry, fishing etc. Nepal is
richly endowed with agro-biodiversity. Rice, maize, millet, wheat, barley and buckwheat
are the major staple food crops. Similarly, oilseeds, potato, tobacco, sugarcane, jute and
cotton are the important cash crops whereas lentil, gram, pigeon pea, black gram, horse
gram and soybean are the important pulse crops. Nepal is also famous for orthodox tea,
large cardamom, turmeric and zinger too. Most Nepalese farmers grow diversified crops
in order to hedge against erratic and uncertain weather and other unfavorable agronomic
conditions. Livestock is one of the important sources of cash income of the farm
households. The cash needs of the farm families are mainly met through the sale of milk,
yoghurt, cheese, ghee, Chhurpi, meat, egg and live animals and poultry. Generally, farm
families in mountains raise Yak or Chauri (Himalayan breed of cow) and sheep, in hills
cow, sheep, goat and rural poultry and in Terai buffalo, cow, goat and poultry. Poultry
husbandry is emerging enterprise in Terai and hills. Fresh water fish culture is another
emerging enterprise in Terai whereas rainbow trout in the hills and in the lower
mountains.
Nepal lies in the center of the 2,500 km Himalayan belt, which has favorable geography
for various mines and minerals. With almost 83% of its territory in mountainous regions,
Nepal is a developing country with vast natural resources including water, minerals,
forests, and a myriad of agricultural products and medicinal and aromatic plans. Nepal
has an abundance of minerals required for industry and construction, including the most
abundant, limestone, coal, talc, red clay, granite, marble, coal, gold, and precious and
semi-precious stones (tourmaline, aquamarine, ruby and sapphire)
21
2.1.2.1 Recent updates in this sector
1. A large deposit of uranium has been discovered in Upper Mustang region of Nepal.
Preliminary research suggests that the deposit is spread over an area 10 km long and 3
km wide could be of highest grade. These findings have also been confirmed by the
International Atomic Energy Agency,
2. A large deposit of uranium has been discovered in Upper Mustang region of Nepal.

km wide could be of highest grade. These findings have also been confirmed by the
International Atomic Energy Agency,
3. A large deposit of uranium has been discovered in Upper Mustang region of Nepal.
Preliminary research suggests that the deposit is spread over an area 10 km long and 3

International Atomic Energy Agency.
As the manufacturing sector represents a major portion of the industry in Nepal, the
development of this sector is important to the government in terms of generating
employment opportunities, promoting trade, enhancing national income growth, and
alleviating poverty. It also offers economies of scale, technological progress, output
growth, productivity, positive spill-over effects and efficiency in terms of resource
utilization (compared to the agricultural sector, for example). The structural
transformation of Nepal’s economy over the last decade has brought with it significant
growth in the service sector, compared to the manufacturing and agriculture sectors.
However, a knowledge-based economy cannot be sustained unless it is adequately
supported by a growing manufacturing economy.
The manufacturing sector in Nepal can be broadly classified into three sub-sectors:6 fast
moving consumer goods (FMCGs), industrial goods, and consumer goods. FMCGs is the
22
largest of these sub-sectors. Due to limited electricity (although this has become more
reliable since 2016) and lack of an enabling environment for manufacturing enterprises,
industrial goods constitute a relatively small portion at this moment; however, this sub-
sector is expected to grow as the economy matures and the enabling environment
improves. A detailed description of each sub-sector is provided below.
Food and beverages – Sugar, grains, mill products, oils and fats, dairy products, soft
drinks, spirits and beer
Tobacco – Cigarettes
Fabricated metal product – Cast iron, steel, structural metal products, tanks, reservoirs,
containers of metal and other fabricated metal products
Non-metallic mineral products – Clay building materials, porcelain and ceramic products,
cement, lime and plaster, articles made of concrete and plaster, and cut, shaped and
finished stone
Basic metal – Basic iron, steel, precious and other non–ferrous metals
Plastics and rubber products – Plastics and synthetic rubber in primary forms, rubber
tyres and tubes, re-treading and materials for rebuilding rubber tyres, and other rubber
and plastic products
Textiles – Fabrics, pashmina, yarn and other textiles (except for apparel)
Electronics – Wire and cable, dry cell batteries, electric motors, generators and
transformers, television and radio receivers
Furniture – Wooden furniture
Leather and allied products – Tanned/processed leather (mainly wet blue) and leather
goods such as saddle, handbags, gloves and belts
23
2.1.4 Construction sector
Nepal Constructions Industry is fast growing service industry in Nepal. Sound Political
system and policies helps to create good environment to grow. Constructions equipment
and materials market have grown by double after the great earthquake of 2015. Nepalese
Construction Industry contributed around 10 to 11 percentages to GDP and it uses around
35 percent of government budget. It is estimated that this sector is creating employment
opportunities to about one million people so it generate employment next to agricultural
sector in the country. Similarly about 60 percentages of the nation’s development budget
is spent through the use of contractors (Federation of Contractors Association of Nepal).
In the last two decade, there has been considerable progress in the construction industry.
During the period, the Nepalese contractors have been able to develop their management
skill, improve working capacity, financial and technical capabilities, and acquire suitable
construction equipments.
The leading brand constructions equipments are easily available to purchase and to rent
like: JCB, Komatsu, Case, Caterpillar and Tata construction deal with equipment like
excavators, loaders, rollers, backhoe loaders, wheel loaders, etc. Likewise, Doosan,
Hyundai, Kawasaki, Mahindra and Ashoka also have introduced various construction
equipments. The major chunk client for equipment are contractors, while real estate
developers, hydropower and mining projects, government departments like the
department for road, department of irrigation, brick industrialist etc .
The service sector is an important part of the economy. In the present time, it is the main
sources of income of the people living on this earth. Most of the people in developed
country are involved in services. People are engaged in the governmental organization,
non-governmental organization, international and domestic organization, and other
private sectors. The process of taking money by doing work or providing facilities to the
people is known as service.
24
The service sector is providing employment opportunities to the many people which help
to decrease the unemployment problem from the country. In the context of Nepal, many
people are unemployed and moving to foreign countries for the employment
opportunities because of fewer industries in our country. Trade and commerce of our
country are also not in good condition. Looking for all these problems, service sectors are
established in our country. People are getting employment opportunities in various
sectors like private hospitals, restaurants, schools and colleges, and banks, hotels, etc.
which also increase the economic status of the people and its nation. But day by day
population is increasing rapidly due to which the state of employment problem is
existing. People go foreign countries to earn money to run their life and they send the
money into Nepal as remittance which also helps to increase the per capita income of the
nation. In the context of Nepal, agriculture and the industry are the backbones of the
nation but service is also another important part of the economic activity. The importance
of the agriculture is decreasing day by day because of the leading role of services sectors
in the country. Nowadays many people are running their livelihood from the service
sector and also upgrading their living standard. Nepal's government is getting much more
tax from the service sectors which increases the per capita income of a nation. So, in the
context of the Nepal, service sector plays very important role in running the people's'
livelihood and a nation. (Investment Board Nepal, 2018)
In between 1936 and 1949 a number of industries, particularly in the fields of cotton
textile, sugar, match, hydro power, rice and oil mills, and cigarettes were set up in the
south eastern and eastern Terai region. Between 1945 and 1949, the prevailing war-time
inflatory conditions and scarcity of goods in the market provided a rare opportunity to
these enterprises to make high profits. After the Second World War, the demand for the
goods produced in Nepal went into decline along with the profits which resulted fall in
confidence in industries and shutdowns.
The total number of public limited companies and proprietorship firms registered before
1950 reached the figures of 59 and 299 respectively.
In Nepal, development plans were implemented only from 1956(2013 B.S.). The First
Five-Year Plan was implemented in 1956-61. In order to encourage and assist the
development of private industry, an Industrial Development Center was established in
1957 which was converted to Nepal Industrial Development Corporation in 1959. In the
same year, Nepal Factory and Factory Workers Act was also passed to allow industrial
development. In the plan period Private Firm Registration Act, 1957 and Industrial
Policy, 1960 was announced. Balaju Industrial District was also established in the plan
period.
In the Second Three Year Plan (1962-65) eleven public enterprises were established i.e.
Birgunj Sugar Factory, Janakpur Cigarette Factory, etc. In the private sector sugar, metal,
handicraft, hotel, soap, biscuit and sweets industries, etc. were established. Patan and
Hetauda Industrial Estates were established in this plan period.
26
The Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Five Year Plans also emphasized the need to
attract private sector investment in industries.
During Eight plan HMG adopted privatization, economic liberalization and open market
policies. Keeping in mind the condition of public enterprises, HMG initiated privatization
efforts from the Eighth Plan. The new revised industrial policy (1992) has been greatly
liberalized and made transparent. Foreign Investment and Technology Transfer Act (B.S.
2050) was reviewed to attract foreign investment and to emphasize the transfer of
advanced technology and efficient management. The Ninth plan (1997-2001) continued
to emphasize on privatization and economic liberalization. The core objectives of the
Tenth plan (2002-2007) is to accelerate the pace of industrialization through increased
participation or private sector and to create additional employment in both rural and
urban areas to reduce poverty.
Trade plays an important role in the economic development of a country. In the early
stage of economic development, Nepal's trade was limited with India and Tibet alone.
During that period the major exports from Nepal comprised rice, timber, herbs and
medical plants, and handicrafts, and the major import items were cloth, salt, medicines
and kerosene oil.
The year 1923 was a momentous year for the country. A 'Treaty of Peace and Friendship'
was concluded between the Government of Nepal and the Government of Great Britain.
As per the treaty, Nepal could carry on import trade free of duty via India. Thus, this
treaty was a landmark for Nepal to diversify its foreign trade.
India and Tibet, autonomous region of China are the traditional trading partners of Nepal
before 1950. With the formation of democratic government, Nepal and India signed a
trade treaty in 1950. Nepal's trade with overseas countries started only from 1956 after
the implementation of First Plan. As modernization was ushered in the country after
democracy development of trade also grew tremendously. In order to promote exports an
exporter's exchange entitlement scheme was introduced in 1961. Under this scheme, raw
jute was exported to a third country for the first time.
27
Nepal pursued trade diversification policy since early 1960s, which got momentum from
Fourth plan. Nepal has been successful to diversify the trade at least country wise. In
fiscal year 1974/75 India's share in total trade of Nepal was 82.2 percent, while that of
other countries was mere 17.8 percent. But in fiscal year 1997/98 India's share in total
trade was mere 31.o percent while the share of other countries increased to 69.o percent.
However, in 2000/2001, India's share in total trade of Nepal came to 41.6 percent while
the share of other countries remained to 58.4 percent.
Since Eight plan, Nepal turned to open market economy and then adopted the policy of
liberalization of foreign trade. In Nepal, new Trade Policy 1992 has been implemented. It
aims to achieve dynamic growth in the trade sector through the creation of more income
and employment opportunities, attain favorable balance of payment situation by
increasing exports and earning more foreign exchange.
At present Nepal has trade agreement with seventeen countries. However, it is trading
with more than 80 countries of the world. The volume of trade has been constantly
increasing due to development of transport and communication, participation in
international trade fairs, membership of international organizations, liberal policy of third
countries towards Nepal. (Academia, 2018)
There are various business opportunities in Nepal and they are described briefly below:
2.3.1 Hydropower
Nepal's hydropower potential has been estimated at about 83,000 MW and its
economically feasible potential is about 42000 MW .There is significant market for
domestic consumption which is growing at an annual rate of 10 percent as well as export
of power to its neighboring countries, especially to India, where the power demand is
growing. Foreign companies like SN power, GMR, Sutlej, Bhilwara, bras power, and
Three Gorges among others are already involved in the power sector of Nepal.
28
2.3.2 Infrastructure
2.3.3 Tourism
Nepal is well known as one of the best tourist destinations in the world. National
Geographic Adventure has listed it among the top-draw adventure destinations in the
world. Tourism sector is one of the sector with many opportunities in Nepal.
There are ample opportunities for the investors to invest in the commercially viable
mineral commodities in Nepal. Some of the proven economic mineral deposits have been
developed and are being used in industries like cement, industrial lime, agriculture lime,
dead burnt magnesite, and marble industries. Some small scale industries are using
limestone, dolomite, quartz, talc, coal, precious and semi-precious stones, brine water and
so forth.
Since the Government’s liberalization of ICT sector, it is growing at a rapid pace, with
heavy investment coming through FDIs. There is a lot of opportunities for investors in
the ICT sector in Nepal.

Agro enterprise centre (AEC), the agricultural wing of FNCCI was established in
September 1991 under the Cooperative Agreement between FNCCI and USAID/NEPAL.
Within past fifteen years. FNCCI/AEC made valuable contributions in Agro business
development and promotion. Since 01 October 2002, FNCCI/AEC has been reshaped
with more focused mission and vision and is taking a renewed role in representing the
private sector agro business community in the development of agriculture and agro
business in Nepal.
Non-resident Nepali association (NRNA) was established with purpose of uniting and
binding the Nepali Diaspora under one umbrella on 11 October, 2003. In the course of
completing 8years of its existence NRNA has developed into a non-governmental global
organization and a network of Nepali origin by establishing National Coordination
Council (NCC) in 60 countries to represent its interests, concerns and commitments. It is
the duty and responsibility of every nation to promote, represent and safeguard the
welfare of its nationals or people of its origin having foreign nationality and this will
ultimately be in the interest of the nation. The national interest that can be fulfilled by the
Diasporas has not been hidden from the international areas. Keeping all these in mind, the
government of Nepal has given legal status to Nepali Diaspora by promulgating Non-
Resident Nepali Act 2064. For practical purposes Nepali citizens living outside South
Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) member countries other than
SAARC nations are considered as NRNs.

CHAPTER IV
ANALYSIS OF ACTIVITIES PERFORMED
4.1 Background
The involvement as an intern in FNCCI was very fruitful from the aspect of gaining the
practical exposure of the real working environment. Facing various situations in the
organization helped me develop a new insight of how the works is performed in any
organization. It also gave intern various knowledge regarding the business activities
conducted in Nepal. This 8 weeks internship program helped intern link the theoretical
knowledge learned in the class room with real life scenarios. This chapter covers the
activities done during the internship tenure at Human Resource department of FNCCI as
the core focus at Head office, Teku, Kathmandu. The analysis of various activities
performed in Human Resource department in which intern got involved is given below:
Research is considered as one of the most important division for any organization as it
provides valuable information throughout the department. Research and information
division in FNCCI, conducts various research to gain knowledge. They use two method
of information collections, primary and secondary sources. In primary data collection
various research are conducted whereas in secondary data collection information from
various government and non-governmental organization are collected. Information are
taken from genuine organization which provides authentic information. These
information is also evaluated and recorded in a simple and understandable format which
is later required by various departments and business organizations also.
The first and foremost thing internee did in the Research and information department
during the internship was, analysis of Nepal’s trade with SAARC nation in last five years.
The purpose of this analysis was to know how in last five years Nepal’s trade with
SAARC nation’s has changed. The trend of Nepal’s import and export with SAARC
nations in last five years can be analyzed from the following figure:

Figure 2: Import And Export Of Nepal With SAARC Nations
The above figure shows how our import with these nations is rapidly increasing and
export is decreasing. This means our import ratio is way higher than export ratio.
In this department, the major activity intern performed was record keeping of trade of
Nepal with many countries like American countries, South Asian countries, European
countries. Record keeping involves collecting data from Trade and Export Promotion
Centre and updating it in the record of FNCCI. It was very challenging and responsible
task because a small mistake can cause big errors. Intern had to separate each product that
is imported or exported according to their HS code (Harmonized Commodity Description
and Coding System) and then record the value and unit of products imported. At last
using these data, internee prepared trade balance of each country which makes it easier to
evaluate and understand the trade. Various other activities performed in the Research and
information division during the period of internship:

3. Providing and transferring of the data and information from one department to other
departments and supervisors.
