Nepal, the second richest country in water resources is full of nook and crannies with small to big springs, from little ponds, lakes to massive rivers. Though, because of the structural mapping and situation of Nepal, being a landlocked country and one of the 25 poorest countries in the world- it is still dependent on India for electricity supply.
Time and again news and articles have reported that more than half of the electricity in Nepal is brought from India. I believe that anything is running in a circle like a world is a circle and is interconnected from every point; similarly, if Nepal government’s approach is of cyclic approach and coordination and partnership based, then, Nepal would be exporting electricity than importing.
Despite knowing that various political and social factors play role in letting Nepal walk towards a prosperous economy- also because of cross border politics and safety surrounded around and in Nepal. Though having said that, a strategist working on development should develop any and all sort of strategies to boost up loan and grants for these sort of projects.
Intercountry partnership for rural electricity planning and utilizing youth force in its development is of utmost importance- because although there’s a supply of electricity from India, yet only 65% of people are only getting the benefit of electricity.
There are lots of countries in the world, those that are getting light through an innovative medium not utilizing hydropower.
Green power technology, organic electricity generation, organic mega flow batteries, energy from agricultural organic waste, generation from landfill gas, energy harvesting through phosphorescence, Bioluminescence might be another option. These sorts of options should be listed down by research and development. Developing university totally focusing on energy development or courses on energy development for every school should be taught.
Since the change in era, change in thought process should also happen, from education to exposure, to research to development, all of it should focus on upgrading the constant and utilizing the already existing organics.
The land and people of the nation is always there. Though we borrow every other stuff in our country; we always have to rethink and keep on analyzing what we already have.
Utilizing the resource pool of scientists that are in Nepal- from veterans to upcoming, we can analyze the thermoelectric effect in an organic molecule. Various ingenious ways to generate electricity should take place. From wind and solar power to peak oils, various different ways of generating energy and electric power should be developed in house experts can be hired as freelancers utilizing the online medium or any other in a governmental transaction if our very own resource isn’t necessary.
I have had heard bike powered energy generation when a cycle while cycling by a professional cyclist can generate various watts of electricity. So turning even your crank into something that can generate power can be talked upon with experts.
Basically, the idea is keep moving and finding out the alternatives yet being rooted with the mother earth for getting the basic necessities for human beings and us Nepalese in particular.
Well! I am clearly not stating that hydropower shouldn’t be considered, but what I am actually trying to say is analyse various options of electricity generation too.
Like it is said “Let there be light shared amongst us”
