Science and technology in Nepal

Science and technology in Nepal is a relatively small, but emerging sector. The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is a governmental body of Nepal responsible for overseeing the development of education, science and technology within the country.

Nepal is a developing country, that deals with problems like poverty, illiteracy, and unemployment. Consequently, science and technology are not prioritized by the government. The lack of quality education from Nepalese university causes students to go abroad to study and half of them do not return.

Nepal was ranked 109th in the Global Innovation Index in 2024.
