Global challenge is a complex scenario
that echoes the deficiencies of our society and its development practices.
These deficiencies are results of our psychological, social and economical, cultural,
political, and legal practices which create differences among the societies and
individuals.
In normal words the global
challenges are categorize in following types:
1. Poverty
2. Training
and Education
3. Lack
of proper infrastructures
4. Lack
of proper rules and regulation
5. Attitude and perception
6. Technological
differences
Highlighting that global challenge differs
according to place and people with the availability of resources and
facilities. It may sound as an understatement but reality always bites.
Especially in the third world developing scenario, the relativity of lack of
standardization and outrage of malpractices makes it more complex and
complicated regarding global challenges and how things are done. Everything
needs to be done single handily or make it work where corruption, networking,
favoritism, political manipulation etc work as a tool in getting things done.
More or less I think it’s human nature to makes things work and the only thing
that differs in people and societies is just the way the people think and that’s
the major challenge.
I believe the most important global
challenge is the psychological aspect that is related to human perception or
thinking, it is one of the greatest challenges to overcome change and development.
As human race from their origin have been very adaptive but at the same time
their behavioral attribute of adaptation has resulted in thinking more about
the safe side and trying to avoid risk at minimum. This attitude has not only
developed into a psychological barrier but has transformed into an essential
part of their cognitive process. They generally resist change and new things so
whenever there is an idea of change they resist that effort. To bring change
first one has to be very clear about the idea. It is said that the world can be
changed with just one idea or spark. When that spark ignites it has to be flourished
with proper visions and efforts then only it spreads and one after the other it
spreads and takes the form of social transformation. So the social aspect needs
to be very clear and worked on. It needs to be well groomed and understood
regarding its use and implication, has to be prioritized at the top most
level.
For e.g. when Galileo ,
opposed the idea of the earth being flat he had to face pubic disgrace and
people even called him insane, he didn’t back out he further did his research
and proved the reality and later he was recognized for vision.
Nepal being an under developed country faces
economic, traditional and geographical challenges. Its economy suffers from
poverty, political manipulation, unemployment, illiteracy etc. More or less development seeks proper
infrastructure and capable human resource to drive the energy which certainly is
lacking in Nepal. The aspect of its strategic location facilitates its
feasibility in utilizing its location but with the unhealthy political
practices and the lack of visionary leaders, Nepal lacks in creating better
core policies in facilitating development activities and if present further
lacks implementation. Similarly, in such scenario, an
entrepreneur has to play multi-dimensional roles. He has to work as a promoter,
investor and the manager in the process of his business development. The aspect
of his struggle ranges from one end to another from social to moral to
psychological to physical. It may seem easy looking at it from the other side
but in this part of the world to start a business is like to start a new life
where he has to start from zero making his own way.
Basically, he encounters
problems likes:
Ø Limited
access to capital
Ø Corruption
and bureaucracy
Ø Low
level of confidence
Ø Low
return from industry investment
Ø Lack
of education and training
Ø Political
instability
Ø Lack
of effective policy
When an entrepreneur thinks
about starting something, it just comes out from one idea leading with his
confidence and believes where he brings together the requisites like men,
materials, machines, money and managerial ability. Then he further processes
the requisites with other needed application; his motivation relies in the
aspect of various infrastructures, governed by the different administrators
leveling it from the organizational opening process to the adaptation of his
idea in the market. In such scenario the absence of expertise or other resource
may create hindrance in the over all process but the major role is played by the
government where it not only acts as a facilitator and smooths the business
development process.
Basically, when we looking at
this part of the world, where there is poverty, unemployment, illiteracy
problem, lack of infrastructure etc the perspective about the global challenge differs
accordingly. It may sound different but yes it’s true the idea of global
challenge depends and differs according to countries to different factors of
economy, political status, core policies etc. I think it cannot be generalized
as in most of the countries where they have funds they lack expertise, and in
others where they have expertise they lack proper policies, in some they even
lack infrastructure and effective sector
so there are tones of issues regarding global challenge but only one
tool to overcome them all. It’s the power of believing in your-self and
changing the world. You just need to believe in an idea and put the better
efforts and then things do change.
People say wining is the only side of the game but I say and believe
loosing is yet another part which is more valuable than winning where you learn
by your experience, where you get the desire to stand up once again to prove
yourself and relentless do the effort in creating a substance for your identity
and to bring change.
One thing that I have learnt
from my experience is there fear in change and development but beyond that
there is success which needs to realized and thought of and until and unless we
reach out with proper efforts nothing will happen. So it better to try and move
forward and make mistakes and gain knowledge rather than to stay behind and
feel lacked.
