The Maoist civil war has directly impacts on the industrial sectors of the country, which enforced youths to run away from the country in search of secured life in foreign land and now in the recent years, remittance has become one of the major economic pillar of the country. The tourism and agriculture sectors can drag out the country from dependency and make self-reliant.
