काठमाडौँ। सरकारले मन्त्रालयहरूको सङ्ख्या घटाइ बेग्लै विज्ञान, प्रविधि तथा नवप्रवर्तन मन्त्रालयको गठन गर्नुलाई यस क्षेत्रमा नयाँ पहलका रूपमा हेरिएको छ। विज्ञान र प्रविधिको खोज, अनुसन्धान, आविष्कार, प्रवद्र्धन तथा विकासलाई संस्थागत बनाउने उद्देश्यसहित बेग्लै मन्त्रालय गठन गरिएको छ। विज्ञान तथा अनुसन्धानको क्षेत्रमा नीतिगत अस्पष्टता र बजेटको अपर्याप्तताका कारण दक्ष जनशक्ति उत्पादनको उचित वातावरण अभाव र प्रतिभा []
