Who also believes, no changes can be made overnight, for this level of change, one has to touch the heart of every national and uphold a system by leading them through a times of struggles.
A thought of a country men is always the betterment of its country and nothing more, there can be more and more ideas and improvement opportunities, when people join and lead the way for the betterment of a nation and its values.
Hence, this is just one of the simple ideas from the simple son of a mother "Nepal".
