Skilled - The group of people who are well qualified and trained in a

particular field is known as skilled.

All these three categories are equally important for the development process.
Human resources alone are not enough for the development process. The natural
resources, financial resources and human resources have to come together and
be utilized in a correct manner for development.

A country can be considered developed only when all of its part becomes
developed. For the development of the health sector various professionals like
woman health caretaker, rural health workers, health assistance and maternity
health worker are required. Similarly, other required professionals are nurses,

doctors, lab assistants, pharmacologists, administrative workers, etc.

For the development of the agricultural sector, the required human resources
are farmers, JTA, JT and laborers. In order to achieve development in this
area, the farmers have to be given enough knowledge and training to be able to

understand the requirements of their field. If farmers are trained well, there is
a good scope of agriculture in Nepal. The other types of activities can be fruit
farming, vegetable farming, animal rearing, floral business, etc. It’s not only the
agricultural sector or health sector but there is equal potential for the growth of

other sectors like education, tourism, construction, transportation, media, etc.
We need people having good knowledge and skills in their required fields for
the proper development of these sectors.

In the economical context, our country has produced professionals in
agriculture, trade and civil services but we are still lacking in professions
like medicine, engineering, media, etc. Due to this lack, the speed of the
development process has been hindered. The most important factor that
we need to understand is that no profession is inferior or superior. Each and

every profession has equal importance and contributes to the development of
the country. We need to understand that and respect every profession without
categorizing them into any levels. It’s the responsibility of the citizens to

share their creativity, skill and knowledge honestly to help in the process of
development. The government needs to give opportunity to the people to learn
