The scenario
In Nepal, most of the important information is locked or their availability is fragmented and heterogeneous. Systematic archival of data is not available via a single-window, and when it is, drawing useful information from it is challenging.
The current initiatives, unable to engage a big majority of stakeholders, have shown limited success. The mass, which is meant to be benefited from such initiatives, has remained isolated from public knowledge and potential benefits that it could bring along.
