Me

                                               

Hey, I'm Puran Prasad Adhikari a physics student at Tribhuvan University, a social activist, and someone who reads probably more than is considered reasonable.

I serve as Volunteer Director and Treasurer at Saraswati Kendra Nepal, where I get to channel my belief that showing up for your community is one of the most meaningful things a person can do.

At my core, I'm an existentialist. I believe we arrive in this world without a preset manual, no hidden purpose stamped on us at birth. There's no single "right" way to live — and honestly, I find that liberating rather than frightening. It means we each get to construct our own meaning, choose our own direction, and walk our own path — without needing it to match anyone else's expectations or blueprints.

Life, to me, is less about finding a meaning and more about building one — deliberately, honestly, and on your own terms.

Bridging Skills and Opportunities in Nepal’s Digital Generation

We are living in a world where being skilled is no longer enough. Today, people also need to be seen, connected, and able to present themselves to opportunities. In many ways, this is becoming one of the biggest realities of the modern world, especially for countries like Nepal. Nepal today is changing. The younger generation is more educated, more aware, more ambitious, and more globally connected than ever before. There is clearly a generation shift happening. Young people are learning new skills, exploring technology, studying online, building ideas, and trying to grow beyond traditional limitations. But at the same time, there is also a silent struggle that many youths are facing. The tragedy is not always the lack of talent. The tragedy is that many talented people remain unseen. In Nepal, many young people have skills, creativity, ideas, and potential, but they often do not know how to present themselves to the market, opportunities, or employers. Sometimes the opportunities...

Nepal’s Demographic Dividend: Why the Skills-Employment Gap is Turning Opportunity into Burden

As a Master's student in Economics at Tribhuvan University, I often analyze data that shows Nepal is currently sitting on a golden opportunity. With nearl y 62% o f the population in the working-age group (15–59 years), the country has one of the highest potentials for a demographic dividend in its history [1] . According to recent reports, Nepal needs to create around 6.5 million jobs by 2050 to fully benefit from this young population. If we succeed, this could significantly boost economic growth, increase productivity, and improve living standards. However, the reality on the ground tells a different story. Every day as an education counselor, I meet talented, motivated young people who are full of potential but remain underemployed or unemployed. The main reason is not a lack of degrees — but a serious mismatch between the skills they possess and the skills the market demands. Many graduates come out with strong theoretical knowledge but lack effective communication and present...
