Database of science and technology is very important for a country. UNESCO publishes status report of the countries based on the inputs of the representative nations and provides guideline and financial support to create national database on the science and technology. The status report prepared first and updated on regular basis to include current statistics seems to be very simple task but in fact it is a very complicated and hectic one. Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) has entrusted Nepal Academy of Science and Technology to carry out national survey on scientific infrastructure in terms of defined indicators. The project team would like to sincerely thank the ministry for financial support. Special thanks are due to monitoring committee members who constantly provided valuable inputs and suggestions for the project. The project team would like to extend gratitude to Prof. Dr. Hom Nath Bhattarai, Vice Chancellor and Prof. Dr. Dillip Subba, Secretary of NAST, Dr. Ram Hari Aryal, Secretary and Mr. Arjun Karki, Joint Secretary of MoST for their valuable suggestions to carry out this project.

The project was initiated in FY 2007/08 and has continued to FY 2009/2010. In this year, all the activities defined under the scope of study have been completed. Since, the work of updating the status is continuous process, the project team requests the ministry to continue financial support for this project in the years to come in a regular basis.

Executive Summary

A study in S&T Status of the Country has been conducted by NAST with the financial support of MoST. The main objective of the study is to undertake a comprehensive study on the status of science and technology of Nepal to create database containing various indicators of S&T that will project countries S&T capability. During the study various indicators such as institutional profile, S&T human resources, R&D budget, S&T equipment, PhD personnel were considered to be important for the scope of the study.

The whole study was carried out during three fiscal years i.e. 2064/065, 2065/066 and 066/067 covering eleven months. In the fiscal year 2064/065 data were collected from Ministries and Departments, Universities and affiliated institutions within Kathmandu valley and Eastern part of the country. In the fiscal year 2065/066 and 066/067 data were collected from different authorities and companies, remaining government organizations, higher education institutions and CTEVT and institutions in mid-western and far-western development region in this fiscal year.

During this study altogether 230 S&T institutions were surveyed. Among them 144 were government institutions, 55 were higher education institutions, 23 private/non-profit institutions and 5 business enterprises and 3 others. Data shows that highest 18% institutions are involved in research and development activities followed by technology transfer and development (15%) and lowest i.e. 1% are involved in manufacturing, 5% institutions are involved in policy formulation/ implementation which mainly includes Ministries and Departments. Regarding the publication of S&T related statistics and journals 55% of them are publishing it either in the form of journal, annual report, progress report, proceedings etc. and 45% does not publish any type of S&T related publications. Highest number of government organizations is involved in research and development activities comparing to the other sector. Educational institutions are also involved in other activities such as research and development, technology transfer/ development, trials and survey.

Government investement in S&T is only 0.31% of GDP in the FY 2064/065. This investement percentage has been calculated based on the total S&T budget of 15 major

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST government research organizations. The real investment on R & D is low and comes about 0.175 % only in the same fiscal year.

This study has revealed the total number of PhD personnel reaches 1066 in different fields of science and technology. Discipline wise the highest number of PhD personnel is 237 in Agriculture followed by Engineering 213.

Human resources in various subjects of S&T in Nepal have increased remarkably. At present the total number of S&T human resources is 44,044. Out of them 24,580 are working in government institutions 6,852 are working in business enterprises and only 6,639 are working in private/nonprofit organizations remaining have either migrated to other countries or unemployed. The total number of middle level S&T human resources that CTEVT has produced so far is 41,010 Technical-SLC levels and 4,234 Diploma level in different disciplines such as health science, agriculture and engineering. Forty nine large industries were also surveyed during study. Among these 61% have their own R&D units and 39% do not have such unites. Most of the industries have their R&D unit as a quality control laboratory. The origin of technology adopted in most of the industries is from India however, in several industries integrated technology from different countries are also adopted.

During the sector wise assessment of the equipment, most of the government institutions (74%) have not sufficient equipment for present need. In case of higher education institutions, 71% have not sufficient equipment.

Introduction

Nepal is a land locked and least developed country. It is necessary to give priority to science and technology (S&T) sector for the overall development of the country. As many statesmen and scientists have said, S&T excellence plays a key role to the economic and social development. National spending on S&T is very important for the overall development of a country. UNESCO and other relevant organizations have clearly indicated that to envisage any kind of development of S&T, a minimum investment of 0.23% of GDP is necessary, UNESCO has been constantly urging developing countries to make adequate investments in S&T, together with appropriate policies and plans in the long term perspectives. It is also very necessary to avoid duplication of research in countries where resources are scarce. To address these issues it is important to have an updated status report on S&T to know the strengths, weaknesses, lacunas, shortcomings, problems and priorities.

Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) involved in S&T development over two decades and have been undertaking various policy and assessment studies. In 1987, the academy had prepared a comprehensive report on the status of S & T. In 2006, NAST carried a survey and published a report on Science, Research and Technology in Nepal and was also involved in the formulation of a 20 years S&T perspective plan which is still included in the 10th five year plan. In the changed context and emerging situation it is logical to assess the prevailing S & T status to identify the constraints and tackle issues prudently.

Then Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology (MoEST) and now Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) proposed to undertake/ commission a comprehensive joint study with NAST to prepare the current status report on S & T of the country. It will be a comprehensive report/data base for formulation of future plans and programs on S&T. The report will be useful for policy makers and planners to formulate appropriate plans and policies relating to S&T, they will be apprised with the status and the ongoing development processes in the field of science and technology. The findings of this study will provide valuable informations concerning science and technology.

1.1 Objectives The main objectives of the project is to undertake a comprehensive study on the status of Science and Technology of Nepal to create a database containing various indicators of S&T that will project country's S&T capability and help policy makers and planners to formulate rational policies for the faster economic development by adopting suitable technology and current scientific advancements.

1.2 Scope & Limitations of the Study 1.2.1 Scope Pertaining to UNESCO guidelines database of scientific indicators of a country must be compiled regularly/periodically in order to assess overall development of the representative country. S & T capability and development of a nation are complementary rationales, it is important, therefore, to compile S&T profile by regular survey of the defined set of indicators. UNESCO's S&T database section compiles the database in

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST association of the authorized agency of the member countries, and updates it annually. Thus, compilation of S&T database is obligatory and it has many relevant scopes, such as;

S&T database reflects capability of a country, and it can be correlated to the national development It helps in formulating and implementing policy, and maneuvering development strategies precisely UNESCO database on science and technology includes S&T profile of the member countries, and the profiling is based on the inputs provided by the authentic source of the respective countries In this regard, Ministry of Science & Technology has been appropriately coordinating the survey of S&T database by mobilizing infrastructure of Nepal Academy of Science & Technology UNESCO's S&T database gives position of a country in terms of development at a glance

The following indicators have been incorporated in the present study in order to project scope of the study: a. Institutional Profile b. S&T manpower by qualification and occupation c. R&D budget (capital and current) d. Inventory of scientific equipments e. Profile of PhD personnel

1.2.2 Limitations The present S&T status report is based on field survey of scientific organizations, academic institutions and industrial installations. The survey conducted in accordance with the UNESCO guidelines, incorporating defined indicators to compile S&T database. Apart from including defined terms with respect to UNESCO's guidelines, this study has incorporated some more S&T related indicators, which will be advantageous in evaluating the overall condition of the S&T sector. The limitations of this study are mentioned

Survey of government S&T organizations was limited to the national research organizations and departments and central departments of universities as well as affiliated colleges that provide higher education Survey of the industrial installations conducted within the industrial estates and corridors, and only large industries have been covered List of Ph.D. Personnel and S&T manpower in general compiled on the basis of available primary and secondary sources, even by our best efforts some names or other details may be missing in the list The survey conducted for the compilation of the various data is partly sampling and partly census by nature

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST

R&D spending of NGO's, INGO’s and private organizations have been excluded, only the budget of government funded major organizations have been included to find out total national R&D expenditure as GDP variable The project has been completed with a moderate budgetary provision, and in a short time period

1.3 Systematic Work Plan Order of formation of statutory body, the project team and work plans to complete this project are shown below; 1. Monitoring Committee formed by the MoEST/MoST 2.

1.4 Methodology of the Study More than 300 different institutions including Ministries and Departments of the Government, Universities and affiliated institutions, industries and several institutions located in Kathmandu Valley were contacted and visited time to time to collect the information. Similarly, information were collected from specified institutions through field visits and filling questionnaires by the team members. Field visits for this purpose were made to the major cities and industrial centers covering Biratnagar, Dharan, Dhankuta, Birgunj, Hetauda, Bharatpur, Pokhara, Bhairahawa, Butwal, Nepalgunj, Surkhet, Dhanghadi and Mahendranagar. In total 230 institutions have been surveyed during the FY 2064/065 to 2066/067. The detail activities carried out during these FY were as follows.

1.4.1 Activities carried out in FY 2064/065

Identification of the indicators Following indicators were identified for the study • Institutional profile • S&T human resources by qualification and occupation • Budget of the organization with special reference to R&D Budget • Availability of S&T equipments

Reframing the scope of study The Project team carried the survey by covering the following national bodies,

• S&T related ministries and departments • Universities and affiliated institutions • Large scale industries located within industrial states

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST

Persons with bachelor degree in technical and health sciences and master’s degree in basic and natural sciences have been considered as S&T human resource for the purpose of this study.

Formation of a Study Team and Preparation of Questionnaire The study conducted by NAST & MoST by visiting and contacting various S&T organizations and academic institutions of the country. A study group/team formed under the leadership of Dr. C. Regmi, Senior Scientist of Special Class. The team also comprised of five members including a representative of the ministry of Environment, Science & Technology. To develop proper methodology for conducting this study an experienced advisor was commissioned in the first phase of this project.

The study team constitutes mostly of NAST scientists have undergone orientation regarding survey methodology and assigned various tasks afterwards. A structured questionnaire based on various considerations regarding the objectives of this project and the educational background of the respondent was prepared for data collection.

Review of planning documents National development planning documents were studied and the summary of each plan about the science and technology has been prepared starting from Sixth Five Year Plan to the present Three Years Interim Plan.

Development and testing of Questionnaire Questionnaire for the survey was developed by a three member team comprising Dr. C. Regmi, project coordinator, Dr. M. K. Koirala, project advisor and Mr. M. B. Khadka, representative of the MoEST. An eight pages questionnaire was prepared covering different aspects of institutional profile, S&T human resources by qualification and occupation, Budget of the organization with special reference to R&D budget. Availability of S&T equipments and Profile of Ph.D. personnel has also been included in the survey. The content of the questionnaire was discussed in meeting of project team, technology sub-committee of NAST and monitoring committee. After proper revisions it was approved finally by the monitoring committee. Questionnaires were revised according to the respondent organization in 2010.

Data collection At first, a list of institutions selected for respondent was prepared based on the following criteria.

1. Government organization directly related to S&T 2. Universities and institutions providing higher educations 3. Large Industries within the Industrial Estate 4. Metropolitian and sub-metropolitian cities 5. National level NGOs and INGOs related to S&T

Questionnaire was forwarded to organizations/institutions/industries along with the formal letter requesting to avail the data as per the reqest. More than 200 different organizations including Ministries and Departments of the Government, Universities and afiliated institutions (Agriculture and Animal Sciences, Engineering, Forestry, Medicine and Science and Technology), NAST, National Forensic Laboratory, central and regional level divisions and centres of NARC etc. and large scale industries of Dharan, Birgunj,

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST

Pokhara, Hetauda and Biratnagar were contacted and visited by the team members to fulfill assigned tasks.

1.4.2 Activities carried out in FY 2065 – 066 The project has been continued in the fiscal year 2065/66 to complete the task and update the profile of various institutions/organizations/industries in defined terms. MoST has funded this project consecutively on the merit and importance of the status of S&T in Nepal. Brief accounts of the activities are mentioned below;

Data collection from Authorities and Companies S&T information from National Authorities such as Nepal Electricity Authority, Nepal Telecommunication Authority, Drinking Water Authority and several other companies that have bulk of S&T human resources could not be collected in FY 2064/65. Without inclusion S&T data of these institutions, the purpose of preparation of data base might not be considered accomplished. Therefore, one of the major activities performed in this Fiscal Year was data collection from these authorities and companies.

Data Collection from Remaining Government organizations Despite of several attempts (requests) made to collect information from all the S&T related Ministries and line agencies, some of them have not provided any information. There are some other government organizations such as Ministry of Local Development, Ministry of Education etc that are not directly related to S&T but have a bulk number of S&T human resources. Both types of organizations were requested for the same.

Data Collection from Higher Education Institutions Data have been collected from Universities and Institutions and Central Departments only. There are several campuses and colleges that are providing higher education on S&T in the country. Information on such institutions has to be incorporated in the S&T data base.

Data collection on Technicians (Middle level S&T human resources) No attempt has been made so far to reveal the status of institutions then produce the middle level S&T human resources and about the status of such human resources in different S&T organizations. This is a very important aspect of S&T data base. Therefore, information on production of middle level S&T manpower was collected from CTEVT.

Data collection from Mid Western and Far Western Development Regions Due to time and financial constraints, S&T institutions located in Mid Western and Far- Western development regions were visited and requested to provide necessary information in this year.

1.4.3 Activities carried out in FY 2066-67 To make the Data Base on S&T useful document on S&T status in the country it is most desirable to complete the following activities that could not be covered during FY 2064/65 and 065/66 also due to both financial and time constraints to complete in F.Y.2066/67.

Data collection from NGOs and INGOs There are several NGOs and INGOs working in the field of S&T. During the previous year’s S&T data were not collected from NGOs and INGOs. Without inclusion S&T data

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST of these institutions, the purpose of preparation of data base will not be considered accomplished. Therefore, in this fiscal year was data collected from these organizations.

Data Collection from Airlines and other Remaining Authorities In the previous FY data were collected from various authorities such as Nepal Telecom, Nepal Electricity Authority etc but, collection of S&T data from Airlines and other authorities was still remaining. Therefore, in this fiscal year data data was collected from these authorities.

Data Collection from remaining Higher Education Institutions There are several campuses and colleges that are providing higher education on S&T in the country. Information on such institutions has to be incorporated in the S&T data base. In previous FY data were collected from these institutions but, there are still remaining some important S&T educational institutions within the Kathmandu Valley and also outside the Valley. So, in this FY data was collected from all of these institutions.

Data collection on Technicians from Middle level technical institutions First attempt has been made to collect and include the middle level S&T human resources in the FY 2065/066 but, due to time and budget constraints it is not completed. The status of such human resources in different S&T organizations has significant value. This is a very important aspect of S&T data base. There are several institutions to produce middle level human resources in the country.

Collection of data from remaining government institutions Despite of several attempts (requests) made to collect information from all the S&T related Ministries and line agencies, some of them have not provided any information yet. During this FY all these remaining S&T information from various institutions were collected.

Development of a Comprehensive data base At the end of F.Y. 2066/67 a Comprehensive data base on identified indicators was prepared incorporating the data collected in three years. A system will be developed that will allow to update the status on regular basis. The report consists of following three parts and follows UNESCO guidelines as far as possible

Part I: Institutional Profile It covers Historical Background, Review of National Planning Documents, Institutional Profile and R&D budget.

Part II: Science & Technology Human Resources It covers S&T Human Resources including PhD Personnel with their discipline.

Part III: Science and Technology Equipments List of equipments available in different laboratories costing more than one lakh rupees has been prepared. Analysis on the frequency of use, adequacy and urgently required equipments is still ongoing.

Historical Background

The chronology of Science and Technology in Nepal has been prominently included in the status reports prepared so far, the present work incorporates the historical background on the merit of two well marked era (viz. 1951 AD – 1990 AD & 1990 – 2007), that has witnessed many upheavals transforming country's political system. Government of Nepal implemented development plan in 1956, however, S&T development was genuinely kick- started in the early 60's, in 1961 Food Research Laboratory was established and many more laboratories came into existence in the government sector later on to accelerate development activities.

Similarly, in 70's education sector revamped with the establishment of many academic and technical institutes. RECAST (1975) and NCST (1976) was established in quick succession to safeguard country's interest by launching applied research and formulate national policies on Science and Technology.

In 1982, RONAST was established by royal charter with a clear mandate to usher the country into modern scientific age by promoting research and adoption of advance technology in collaboration with reputed foreign agencies. To strengthen agricultural sector National Agricultural Research Council (NARC) was formed by reorganizing existing research laboratories in 1985.

Finally, Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) was formed in 1996 and consolidated further by adding environment portfolio to it in 2005, changing the name as Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology (MoEST) later. S&T manpower in the country has risen appreciably, NCST (1995) compiled a manpower directory enlisted 8,231 personnel, however, a new survey by NAST in 2006, the number surged to more than 28,000 under 18 subject headings. The present survey by Joint Study Team in 2008 and 2009 found that the number has swelled to more than 34,000.

Chronological background of development of S &T in Nepal can be documented in a number of ways. Phases of major breakthroughs could be highlighted to mark historical events and turning points in the passage of time. Modern science and technology era started only in twentieth century in the country; three distinct phases can be recognized to complement the development of S&T based on the political systems to understand historical background at a glance:

1. Rana Era (before1958 AD) 2. Panchayat Era (1959 AD-1989 AD) 3. Democratic Era (1990 AD-2009 AD)

Science education at intermediate level was started in 1919 A.D., upgraded to bachelor level in 1945. Master's program was offered only in 1959, at first department of mathematics was started and other faculty of sciences was gradually opened in the 1960's by the Tribhuvan University. In the begining, science education initiated to fulfill required technical manpower for various developmental activities and medicos to facilitate health services.

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST

In the Rana Era, Prithvi Bir hospital was built in 1890A.D. it was the first institution in Nepal. A hydropower station built in 1911. Likewise, some other scientific landmarks worth mention, a clock tower, railway, ropeway, jute mill and suspension bridge came into being in this era by foreign technical assistance. The following institutions were established subsequently during the years mentioned,

1924: Agriculture Office 1934: Civil Medical School (Paramedics) 1939: Department of Livestock Services 1942: Training school for Sub-Overseers 1947: Forestry Training Institute for Rangers

Post Rana Era was followed by a brief democratic spell and taken over by Panchayat system of governance. The Panchayat Era ended in 1991 A. D. after massive people's rally forced the rulers to give up autocratic model of governance. Departments established during this time period are,

1955: Department of Forest 1956: Department of Soil Sciences 1958: Department of Geology & Mines 1958: Departmrnt of Survey 1958: Central Beareau of Statistics 1959: Tribhuvan University 1960: Department of Medicinal Plants : Botanical Survey and National Herbarium : Balaju Yantrashala 1962: Department of Hydrology & Meteorology 1963: Butwal Technical Institute 1964: Royal Drugs Research Laboratory 1965: Departments of Post Graduate Studies in Natural Sciences, T.U. 1966: Central Food Research Laboratory 1968: Lumle Agriculture Research Centre 1972: Royal Drugs Limited 1973: Department of National Park and Wildlife 1974: Department of Soil Conservation and Watershed Management 1975: Nepal Telecommunicaton Corporation Natural History Museum 1976: National council for Science and Technology Nepal Bureau of Standards 1977: Research centre for Applied Science and Technology Butwal Engineering Works Limited 1980: Department of Drug Administration 1981: Water and Energy Commission Herbs Production and Processing Company Limited 1982: King Mahendra Trust for Nature Conservation Department of Ayurved Royal Academy of Science and Technology 1985: National Forensic Laboratory 1989: Centre for Technical Education and Vocational Training

Various scientific organizations organizations were established in the Panchat Era, mostly with the economic and technical cooperation by the friendly nations. Academic institutions were also established during this period. However, having many contradictions, autocratic panchayat system failed to survive. Democratic rule restored once again after about thirty years after widespread protests all over the country. The wheel of development moved with a spurt in academic institutions in private sector, unprecedented growth in education sector registered during this period. Similarly, government organizations were established to meet national priorities in the so called Democrati Era, some of them worth mention are listed below:

1992: Environmental Protetion Council 1993: B.P. Koirala Institue of Health Sciences 1995: Ministry of Population and Environment 1996: Ministry of Science and Technology Purbanchal University High Level Information Technology Commission 1997: Pokhara University 2004: National Academy of Medical Sciences Nepal Medical College Kathmandu Medical College

Ministry of Environment, Science & Technology has been reorganized into Ministry of Science & echnology and Ministry of Environment recently in 2009 A.D.

2.1 Development Plans In Nepal planned developmental strategies was adopted in 1956 A.D. with inception of First Five Year Plan (1956-1960). At the outset primary indicators of socioeconomic growth like basic need, education, employment, rural development, distribution of equity etc.were incorporated. Science & Technology explicitly adressed only after twenty five years in the Sixth Five Year Plan (1980-1985) and gradual addition of more ambitious projects in the subsequent Plans, planners envisaged country’s progress by linking development with S &T ventures through establishment of the organizations to meet developmental challenges and lead the nation to a new dawn. Thus, post Sixth Plan period be considered as the beginning of the promotional era of the S&T in the country. It would be logical to reproduce the main features of National Plans in the context of science and technology to understand the phases and process of Plan and progress.

2.1.1 Sixth Plan (1980-1985) The National Council of Science and Technology (NCST) came into existence in 1976 A.D. A national level science convention was organized by NCST in 1978 to chalk out science and technology policy by consensus, the convention recommended inclusion of S&T policy in the Sixth National Plan (1980-85) and in this way science and technology was duly incorporated in the plan outlay for the first time. However, the Plan targeted agricultural productivity and emphasised upliftment of underprevileged sections of the society, education and health was put high on agenda to benefit the social sector.

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST

Development of S & T capability and its application to create awareness among the masses prominently featured in the Plan.

2.1.2 Seventh Plan (1985-1990) Key features of the Seventh Plan were fulfilling basic need of the people by harnessing country’s internal resources on sustainable basis, enhancement of growth rate by employing proper development of agriculture and industrial sector and also by natural resource management. Apart from the management of other potential resources, water resources mentioned as the most important because of its potential, as it has vital use for power generation, irrigation, industries and most importantly for the drinking purposes. Education and S&T oriented public awareness has been stressed, further improvisations of traditional technology and development of appropriate indigenous technology was also emphasized. The Seventh Plan focused on the attainment of Asian living standard for the common people of the country. The main objectives of the Plan were:

1. To develop S&T capability par with economic and social development, 2. To expand the use of S&T by creating awareness amongst the people on its potential and multiple utility in upgrading living standards

2.1.3 Eighth Plan (1992-1997) In the Eighth Plan critical admission of lack of coordination between the scientific organizations was obvious, failure in dissemination of information about appropriate technology and improvisations of traditional technologies thwarted the expected rise in productivity. It was acknowledged that interdisciplinary linkage of S & T oganisations to sustain the developmental activities was not up to the expectations of the Seventh Plan.The objectives of the Eighth Plan were:

1. To develop S&T in a way that it would support allround development viz. rural development focussing agriculture, cottage and small-scale industries by upgrading available scientific and technological capabilities, 2. To encourage the import of foreign technologies that has a direct bearing on the country's economic development and prosperity.

2.1.4 Ninth Plan (1997-2002) The overall objective of the Ninth Plan came was poverty aleviaton, empowering people socially to usher the masses into national mainstream of development. Perspective Plans have been formulated for the high priority sectors like Agriculture, forestry and Energy. The following objectives was set in order to achive plan outlays

1. Applied Science & Technology would be brought in for sustainable economic, social, cultural and environmental perspectives 2. Acceleration of rural developmental activities by promoting and advancing traditional technologies 3. Advance technology transfer in the country for the production of quality goods to find market internationally to balance foreign trade deficit

The Ninth Plan's strategy to achieve the developmental objectives, a number of ambitious endeavors have been formulated, it focused on increasing agricultural and industrial productivity by the application of modern techniques and revamping existing infrastructural capabilities in the various sectors. Furthermore, other important measures

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST like mobilization of existing manpower, encouragement of research agencies both in government and private sectors to provide suitable technology have been incorporated.

2.1.5 Tenth Plan (2002-2007) Very first of the new millennium the tenth plan incorporated sustainable and broad based economic growth, social sector development, targeted programmes and good governance as the major themes. In adition to various developmental goals measures of poverty alleviation is highly priortised element of the plan. It was envisaged to reduce the current number of people living under poverty line from 38% to 10% by 2017. objective of the tenth plan is stated as " Development of science and technology and its use in achieving sustainable and overall development of traditional technologies that can contribute in the rural development including research and development of appropriate technology and to extend necessary support to make children, women and deprived section of the society self reliant and economically strong." Strategies have also been formulated to accomplish targets, the main strategies and related policy and programmes (P&P) are mentioned as below: 1. Ensuring maximum utilization of available resources and means in the science and technology sector and to arrange additional infrastructures for institutional /organizational strengthening P&P: Arrangement of additional infrastructures and institutions in the science and technology sector. 2. Developing and adopting appropriate technology through the mobilization of private sector in the development of science and technology and import of appropriate foreign technology. P&P: Mobilisation of private sector for the development of science and technology. 3. Developing of a mechanism to conduct research and development activities in a competitive manner among individuals, communities and institutions engaged in science and technology. P&P: Establishment of a mechanism to conduct research and development activities. 4. Contributing in the socio-economic development of people through the development of knowledge and skills in the science and technology sector and sustainable use of natural resources and means.

2.3 Assessment of plans and policies Strategies to implement successive Plans and policies to speed national development through proper applications of advancement inscience and technology may be evaluated on the basis of performances and achievements. Some important issues have been incorporated in the Plans, environmental concerns are addressed rightly by framing laws to workout integrated environmental management. Rural information centres have been established in various parts of the country. Moreover, science & technology policy has been revised to incorporate legal aspects in order to regulate institutional mechanisms including Biotechniology Policy, Rural Energy Policy, Electricity Trading Act and Regulation. DNA fingerprinting technique was consolidated in phases. Alternate energy sector strengthened by the policy updates. Renewable energy study policy and procedures have been implemented for the purpose.Despite the constant refrain technological advancement and adoption of appropriate technology to uplift industrial sector and produce quality products to enhance competitiveness and have a fair share of international market was obviously unfulfilled. Poverty alleviation by generating employment opportunities was also not upto the expectatios. Crisis of power has been detrimental to the expected growth, industrial sector was in tatters. Goal of rural development was also badly affected by the political conflicts.

Geological aeromagnetic & seismic survey was able to trace some promising sites for petroleum & natural gas in southern parts of the country.

3.1.10 Department of Soil Conservation and Watershed Management Soil erosion and watershed degradation are major challenges in Nepal. The government initiated soil conservation and watershed management programs in 1974 through the Department of Soil and Water Conservation. Since its establishment, the department has been planning, implementing and monitoring soil conservation and watershed management activities based on the principles of integrated watershed management. The long-term policies are: i. Maintain ecological balance to reduce occurrences of landslides, desertification and conservation of watershed resources and ii. Management of watershed to support the resource base of agriculture and hydrology. The Department is planning to provide services to all 75 districts within the 10th Five Year Plan period. At present, it serves 55 districts of Nepal.

The main objectives of the Department are to maintain an ecological balance by reducing pressure from natural hazards such as floods and landslides through proper watershed management and to assist in maintaining land productivity by implementing soil conservation activities. The department has 42 district soil conservation offices to plan implementation, monitoring soil conservation and watershed management activities. The department of soil Conservation is engaged basically in the stabilization of natural and cut slopes through afforestation and reforestation and conservation of check dams and other low-cost structures.

The Bagmati Watershed Projects is one of the projects run by the department of soil conservation. It is helping the local people of the Bagmati watersheds in slope stabilization and controlling the soil erosion. After the disaster of 1981 in the Lele- Bhardeo area, the Bagmati Watershed Projects was actively engaged in the stabilization of the landslides debris flows and gully erosion.

3.1.11 Department of Hydrology and Meteorology It is a government organization working under national or central level coordination. DHM has mandate from government to monitor all the hydrological and meteorological activities in Nepal. The major activities are: collect and disseminate hydrological and meteorological information for water resources, agriculture, energy and other development activities, issue hydrological and meteorological forecasts for public, mountaineering expedition, civil aviation and for mitigation of natural disasters, conduct special studies required for the policy makers, promote relationship with national and international organizations. Hydrology section deals with; river hydrology where it conducts a nation wide study and analyze water level and discharge of different rivers and lakes. It also processes and validates hydrological date collected from basin along with management of current meter calibration, Sediment and water quality section carries out sediment monitoring of river and regular monitoring of sediment stations, snow and glacier section has established high mountain monitoring stations for estimation of snowmelt from high mountainous regions, it also collects and processes the rainfall, water level and discharge data through different flood stations during the flood season. It has also established flood stations along with their management. The climatology section

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST deals with collection of meteorological data, studying, analyzing and publishing them, study and investigate about climate change, collection and publication of air pollution data, preparation of climate atlas of Nepal and preparation of crop calendar of different weather

3.1.12 Department of Survey The department was established in the year 2014 BS under the Ministry of Land Reform and Management. It is working in the field of research and development on survey along with the production and dissemination of Geo information.

3.1.13 Department of Roads The department of roads is actively engaged in the study, design, implementation, monitoring and mitigation of natural hazards along road corridors. The rapid expansion of roads during the lasts four decades had made an adverse impact on the physical environments in Nepal. A large number of landslides and excessive soil erosion are triggered off by the unsound road construction practices. In the past, many roads were built unplanned: they followed fault zones and crushed zone, and were environmentally disastrous. More recently, department of roads has realized the importance of study on the terrain evaluation before the final selection of the alignment of any road. Engineering geological study and hazards mapping have now become a routine work for planning and design of the mountain roads.

The Road Floods Rehabilitation Projects (RFRP), the first and second road improvement projects, the Araniko Highway maintenance Projects (AHMP) are some of the important projects run by the department of Roads. They have done a quite large volume of work on landslide stabilization, particularly along the Araniko Highways and Kathmandu – Mugling section of Prithivi Highway. The department of roads also has the maintenance and rehabilitation control Unit (MRCU) and which has initiated a programme of monitoring of slopes by the help of a database created for the Naubise-Mugling section of the Prithivi Highway (Health, 1994).

3.1.14 Department of Water Induced Disaster and Prevention Water Induced disasters technical center (DPTC) was established in 1991 with the main objectives of strengthening the capability of Government of Nepal to cope with water induced disasters through technology development, provision of training and establishment of database. The general objectives of the department are; implementation of programmes of river and river basin conservation, develop related appropriate

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST technology, conduct research activities related water induced disaster prevention develop human resources (through trainings) information systems and necessary tools to raise awareness of communities so as to mitigate water induced disasters. Main activities related to watersheds management with emphasis on soil and flood bank erosion control, studies on landslides and debris flow and prevention and river training. There is a strong component of in-country training to various professionals in the related fields also. The center has a modern experimental laboratory on hydraulics at Godavary and a training center at Kathmandu. The department is presently undertaking studies in various parts of the country on river training works, study and monitoring of landslides along the Kathmandu – Trishuli road and at Butwal. Regular training courses to the engineers and overseers are being conducted.

3.1.15 Department of Irrigation The department of the Irrigation has mandate to plan, develop, and manage irrigation systems in the country, in addition to formulate policy in irrigation sector. It has district irrigation offices in the 75 districts, 5 regional offices and a number of central level projects. There are about 550,000 ha of irrigable land in the hills. Most of the hill irrigation projects in Nepal have severely suffered from canal failures by landslides and inadequate engineering geological investigations are the main causes of such failures (Sharma, 1981). In recent years, there is a great increase in demand of hill irrigation projects in country. The problem of landslides and seepages will further aggravate the situation if proper investigation and construction methods are not enforced. The seepage along the canals is also becoming a major landslide-triggering agent in many areas. The department of Irrigation has prepared a survey and mapping manual (DOI, 1990) for irrigation projects in Nepal, which also includes the geo-technical studies for canal routes and headwork.

The department has been conducting research activities on the stability of irrigation system in the hills and has come out with following findings. The vegetation cover of hills along the canal length is destroyed because of the unavoidable hill cutting along the inner bank and deposition of loose soil along the outer bank seepage

The gentle slope along the outer bank of a canal provides better alternatives trail for the people and their pets in steep hills. Thus increased access accelerates the rate of denudation of vegetation cover along and around the canal length. Stability of hills along the canal length is altered during construction activities, which include excavation, blasting and feeling trees. It also carries out such studies during the construction of irrigation canals in the country.

3.1.16 Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) The Nepal Authority is one of the institutions directly involved in the permissibility, feasibility, and details studies on the hydropower projects of the country. During the various stages of the study, the Authority carries out the slope stability of the dam sites, reservoirs sites, and the powerhouse’s sites.

3.5.1 Research Activities carried out in Educational Institutions Regarding the research activities in the academic institutions, Tribhuvan University carried out research works as a part of dissertation works. It has 11 central departments. These departments have Master’s and PhD programs. Besides these, some of the TU constituent campuses and affiliated colleges have started Master’s degree programs. Thus, researches are conducted as a part of dissertation works in these facilities. As the departments have lack of well equipped laboratory facilities, most of research activities are field based description and survey type.All the four institutes of Tribhuvan University, viz. Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Institute of Engineering, Institute of Forestry and Institute of Medicine have also been running graduate programs. These programs offer research facilities to its students at Bachelor and Master’s level as well as Ph.D levels. In the case of Kathmandu University, it is carrying out research activities in the school of sciences and School of Engineering. It has also established Aquatic Ecological Center, Disaster Managements and Sustainable Development Center and Natural Products Chemistry Laboratory to carryout research activities in respective area. Similarly, academic research activities are also carried by Purbanchal University and Pokhara University in connection with dissertation.

Research carried out in various department and institutions at the university is mainly limited to the M.Sc and PhD programs. There is very little research activity in the campuses/colleges where such programs are not conducted. Most of the science campuses/colleges do not have basic infrastructure and the necessary environment to conduct research works although there are some qualified teachers to conduct research works. In addition to the student-related research works, some teachers carry out their research works with grant received from different national and international organizations. The major academic institutions that carried out research activities are as follows.

Globally, investment in Research and Development has increased significantly over the years and has now reached to almost 1 trillion dollars. US alone has the highest 400 billion dollar investment and accounts for 40 percent of global R&D investment.

The budget for basic research, applied research and technology development activities is far less than apparently indicated. Most of the budget allocated for the institution is spent for providing salary to the staff. In Nepal, however, there has been a regular growth of research and development budget in different sectors. Engineering, medical and agricultural sciences are three major fields of sciences where the bulk of research budget is allocated. The country has made huge investments for building necessary infrastructures for the Institutes of Medicine, Engineering, Forestry and Agriculture.

Figure 4 gives the sector wise funding source of the organization. The major funding source of the government S&T organization is not other than government itself which comprises 74% of the total fund. However, some government organizations also receive complementary fund from donor agency, by self generation and other sources. Out of the total budget allocated in the S&T related government organization only a small amount is spent on research and development activities.

Figure 4: Sector-wise funding source of the organization

Data shows that most of the higher education institutions receive fund from self generation followed by government and shareholders. Business enterprises only get funds from self generation and shareholders and the main source of fund for private/ nonprofit organization are from self generation followed by shareholders, government and donor agency.

The Budget allocated for four consecutive years, viz. 063/064 to 065/066 shows the budgetary growth rate was not satisfactory. During certain years, substantial budget can be seen in some institutions such as in Department of Water Induced Disaster Prevention (DWIDP) and Department of National Park and Wildlife Conservation (DNPWC). These are either because of consolidation programme of the institutes or because of certain extra activities conducted during those years.

The percentage of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) devoted to R&D over the three year period is presented in Table 6. From the observation, Nepal’s research spending for the period has been about 0.375% of GDP and it is in increasing tendency. It may be due to the allocation of budget for the construction of infrastructure such as laboratorys and buildings.Though it is in increasing condition (Figure 5), Nepal’s share on R&D out lays in GDP is very low compared to other developed and developing countries.

S&T Human Resources

5.1 Production of S&T Human Resources Human Resources in various disciplines of S&T in Nepal have increased remarkably within last thirteen years from 1995 to 2008. Disciplinewise, Engineering showed the highest number of manpower followed by natural science and medical science. Today, the country produces highly skilled manpower including Ph.D. holders in natural sciences, medicine, agriculture, engineering, forestry, etc (Table 8).

By occupation human resources are divided into five categories (Figure 6) viz managers/ administrators, researchers, technicians, teaching staff and supporting staff. During the survey of S&T institutions, supporting staff, which include security, clerks, drivers, etc are found to be very high followed by technicians which include persons with middle level educations and trained persons etc and researchers. Among the 230 S&T related organizations surveyed only 5,123 persons are involved as researchers comprising male 4724 and female 399. The male-female ratio was found to vary markedly in the organizations. Number of female is very low in every activity as compared to their male counterparts in every sphere of the organization.

5.3 Human Resource by Qualification Table 9 shows the distribution of number of persons by academic qualification. Data shows that the S&T related organizations have the highest human resources in the corresponding order of Master level (2603), Bachelor level (2338) and Ph.D. level (437). Ratio of female is low in academic qualification in every sector.

Higher education institutions have highest number of Ph.D level human resources followed by Government and private/ non-profit organizations (Figure 7). By academic qualification, the number of masters' level holder human resources is comparatively high mainly due to involvement in ever expanding higher education sector.

Among the organization surveyed, data show highest level of bachelors' degree holders (1718) in government organization followed by masters (1214) and Ph.D. degree (125) holders. Higher education institutions have highest number of masters' degree holders (894) followed by bachelors (308) and Ph.D. degree (247). The trend is similar as higher education institutions in business enterprises and private non-profit institutions. However the number of PhD holders is very low and difference between numbers of masters' and bachelors' degree holders is also very low.

5.4 PhD Personnel in Science & Technology Nepal Academy of Science and Technology (NAST) has been striving to develop the status of Science &Technology in Nepal for more than two decades. It has carried out various policy and assessment related studies ever since its establishment. It had prepared a comprehensive report on the status of Science & Technology in Nepal in the year 1987 and also published a report on Science, Research and Technology in 2006. Manifold increase in manpower in Science and Technology related sector has been recorded by a recent survey conducted by NAST. The study was carried out in collaboration with Ministry of Science and Technology (MoST) and a profile of S&T in Nepal has been prepared within a short period. This study was carried out from Jan to June, 2010 on the basis of primary and secondary sources through the questionnaire as well as personal contacts. The primary data were collected through questionnaire with the help of concerned person or the organization/institution where he/she is affiliated. The secondary data were collected from secondary sources such as list awardees of Mahendra/ Nepal Bidyabhusan by Ministry of Education and Culture, list of members of Engineering and Medical Councils, etc.

Statutory body of the project on S&T status decided to prepare a profile of PhD degree holders of the country to identify experts in the various faculties of Science & Technology. The project team developed a questionnaire for the PhD personnel with a motive of extracting chronicle containing names of awardees of Mahendra /Nepal Bidyabhusan provided by Ministry of Education and Culture. It would have been more objective to include the title of the PhD dissertations of the concerned personnel in this

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST report, which is scheduled to be done in future to give a better shape to the profile. In the next phase of this survey the list was updated using various reliable sources. It is planned to incorporate more information to make it a complete database of PhD degree holders of Nepal in the field of Science and Technology.

The USA boasts the highest number of PhD degree holders whereas China stands at number two. The study conducted by Samsung Economic Research Institute has shown the history of Republic of Korea to understand how a country with poor natural resources managed to attain high economic growth. The significant factor responsible for the success story is excellent industrial workforce. Additionally, increase in people with high level degrees has played a pivotal role. Republic of Korea produced 2,747 PhD holders in science & engineering i.e., 5.6 per 100000 people in 2002. Among the Asian countries, China has a clear cut edge over the others in terms of aggregate number. Japan established itself as a leader in basic sciences; nine Japanese won the Nobel Prize in physics and chemistry. EU countries like Germany, Sweden and United Kingdom tops the list in terms of ratio of PhD degree holders to the population. The USA is far ahead in the aggregate numbers. The ratio of Ph.D. personnel in science and technology was found to be 3.46 per 100,000 of the population in 2008 and increased up to 3.93 in 2010.

5.4.1 Discipline-wise Distribution of PhD personnel Table below shows the disciplinewise distribution of PhD personnel in the country. It shows that Agriculture covers highest percentage (22.23%) of PhD personnel followed by Engineering (19.98%), Botany (10.69%), Chemistry (11.26%), Medicine (7.69%) and Physics (6.57%). Food technology and Public Health covers lowest percentage (0.38%) of PhD personnel.

S&T Equiments

The Importance of scientific instruments in the research and development is a well known fact, wide range of such equipments are procured annually by the various scientific organizations of the country. In fact, the modern R&D activities cannot be sustained without the use of common and sophisticated instruments. Operation and maintenance of the instruments requires skill and dedication, our survey reveals that repair and maintenance of the instruments, even of low profile is a common problem faced by all thus, a comprehensive national strategy is required to deal with this problem. We have prepared a list of instruments of the laboratories under the government of Nepal and educational institutions of the country covered so far by the S&T Status Report Project Team. The list contains name of instruments worth one hundred thousand and more. Present status of the instruments is also accounted for, problems in repair and maintenance faced by the R&D units of the country is grave, the team received complaints on this matter at almost every organization dealing with various scientific equipments for their assigned work. Inter organizational coordination is the best way to deal with the prevailing hardships, and the inventory of the equipments will help in sharing many information regarding the organizational infrastructure and expertise. The S&T Status Report Project Team compiled this list in 2008, and added further information on equipments in 2009 by covering more organizations and institutions of the country. The project team found that there is hardly any capability for the repair and maintenance in the organizations.

NAST established an Instrumentation Centre in 1985 on the recommendations from experts to deal with the repair and maintenance problems of scientific instruments, an identified constraint in the country's scientific organizations. Instruments worth millions of rupees are dysfunctional; some of them might have simple disorder that can be rectified with some attention. Usually, commercial services are not available for such instruments, since it needs exclusive training provided by the skilled experts. The Centre provided repair and maintenance services in the beginning and capabilities strengthened over the years, workers provided with training opportunities in India and some other countries. Unfortunately, instrumentation centre could not flourish up to the expectations; one of the major factors of this is manpower, as most of the duly trained technicians quit for lucrative offers elsewhere. The Centre is currently not in a position to provide full scale repair and maintenance services, it is confined only to some limited services. It's obligatory for the NAST to rejuvenate the Center with a special package and an action plan with the support of Ministry of Science and Technology.

68% of the 230 S&T institutions surveyed, claimed that presently available equipments in their institutions are not sufficient and their work suffer due to this reason and rest 32% respond that the equipments are sufficient for present need.

6.1 Sectorwise Assessment of the Equipment During the sector wise assessment of the equipment, most of the government institutions (74%) have not sufficient equipment for present need and only 26% institutions have sufficient S&T equipment for present need. In case of higher education institutions, 70% have not sufficient equipment for present need and only 30% have sufficient equipment for present need. And private nonprofit institutions (56%) have sufficient S&T equipment for present need and only 44% do not have it.

S&T database Report 2010/NAST‐MoST

Regarding the budget allocation for repair and maintenance of the S&T equipment, 65% of the government institutions allocated separate budget for repair and maintenance and about 35% institutions do not allocate separate budget for repair and maintenance of the equipment and the situation is similar to the private nonprofit institutions but the situation is reverse in the case of higher education institution and business enterprises (Figure 11).

Figure 13: Response on budget allocation for repair and maintenance

For repair and maintenance of the equipment (Figure 13), most of the government institutions hire local technicians for repair and maintenance followed by in-house technical staff, agent of manufacturing company and others. The situation is also similar in the case of higher education institutions but, in private nonprofit organizations same weitage occupies by in house technical staff and equipment manufacturers agent followed by local technicians and others.

Recommendations

1. Since, the preparation of S&T data base is continuous process requiring regular updating of the information, this has to be institutionalized. NAST is the appropriate institution that has to carry out this work in regular basis within the Technology Information and Transfer Program. So, the ministry of Science and Technology is requested to allocate annual budget for S & T database.

2. Since the study covers the budget on R&D of limited institutions (surveyed) only but, detail information on government and foreign investment is required to show the real figure. Special study has to be carried out separately for this MoST is requested to provide financial assistance to NAST in this FY 2067/68.

3. It is most desirable to have the S&T capacity of international Organizations such as ICIMOD, WWF, IUCN etc. so, the study has to be carried out.

4. Several institutions of district level and municipalities have not been covered yet, therefore, MoST is requested to provide financial support to carry out the study.

5. There is no information about the NRN S&T human resources, it is most desirable to keep their records, a separate study has to be carried out involving Non Resident Nepalese Association.

6. Methodology has to be developed to record the retired and expired S&T human recourses.

7. It is most desirable to develop sector wise database of human resources and budget investment.

8. It is also equally important to create a database of Technologies developed by different organizations of the country and technology need assessment for the industries, Technology Information and Transfer Center (TITC) has to be established.

9. Technology Information and Transfer Center has to be designated to carry out above mentioned activities on regular basis, accordingly NAST has to develop capacity of TITC in terms of human resources, equipments and necessary tools.
