Complete one-year preparation package for the Lok Sewa first paper (General Knowledge and General Mental Ability) for Kharidar, Nayab Subba and other posts: syllabus-wise notes, quizzes, mock tests and current affairs.
Nepal began planned development in 2013 BS with its First Five-Year Plan and has prepared sixteen periodic plans so far. Lok Sewa often asks when a plan started, which plans were three-year plans, which plan focused only on poverty and what the current plan’s vision is. This note lists every plan in order with its key points.
With its fast-flowing Himalayan rivers, Nepal sees hydropower as a key to its development. Lok Sewa often asks about the first power stations, the largest projects, the types of hydropower plants and Nepal’s electricity trade with India and Bangladesh. This note covers all of these in one place.
Transport links Nepal’s mountains, hills and Terai, and connects this landlocked country with India and China. Lok Sewa asks about the main highways and who helped build them, international airports, railways, cable cars and trade routes. This note gathers these facts by type of transport.
Agriculture feeds most Nepalis, industry is still small, and trade with India and China shapes the economy. Lok Sewa asks about the main crops, important industries and laws, Nepal’s main trading partners, what it exports and imports, and its membership of the WTO. This note covers these three sectors.
Rising prices, poverty and lack of jobs are three of the biggest economic problems in Nepal and favourite topics in Lok Sewa. This note explains what inflation is and how it is measured, the different ways poverty is measured, and the types of unemployment, with Nepal’s key programmes and survey results.
Economics studies how people, businesses and governments use limited resources to meet unlimited wants.

Foreign aid, remittance from Nepalis working abroad and foreign direct investment (FDI) are three major sources of outside money for Nepal’s economy. Lok Sewa asks when Nepal first received aid, who the major partners are, how big remittance is, and which laws and bodies manage foreign employment and investment. This note covers these points.
National income tells us the total value of goods and services an economy produces in a year. Terms like GDP, GNI, per capita income and HDI appear in Lok Sewa papers, the budget speech and the Economic Survey every year. This note explains each term, the three methods of measuring national income and how Nepal’s economy is divided into sectors.
