Road Infrastructure
Development challenges have rocked Nepal for the past few
decades. The major problem is the lack of a well development
road infrastructure. This prompts lack of enough connections
thus derailing economic growth. Although this problem can be
linked to the economic and political situation in the country, its
implications are socially felt. Lack of roads in the country
affects the citizens’ social interactions (Spector & Kitsuse,
2017).
Poor roads affect other development projects. Good
infrastructure is at the core of a robust economic and social
system. The lack of infrastructural development can be closely
attributed to the political transition which has closely inhibited
growth. According to Spector and Kitsuse without economic
growth, Nepal is likely to continue enduring the poor economic
and social situation. Recent developments in the country have
shown signs of a change in preferences. The government has
embarked on improving the road infrastructure seeking to
improve other aspects of the society. Lack of road infrastructure

2. is an issue which affects the societal in all aspects including
economic, political; and social ways. Poor roads are therefore
an imperative social issue which the government of Nepal
addresses.
Infrastructural development undertakes a critical job in
interfacing individuals everywhere throughout the world. It
likewise gives its vital commitment to the financial
development of a nation. It is significant as it develops and
builds up a nation. As streets are a critical resource, it is
important to keep up it with the goal that the roads can improve
the country in all aspects. Roads are the least expensive and
helpful method for transporting merchandise and individuals
starting with one spot then onto the next. They are truly
adaptable when contrasted with the other type of transport. The
vehicles can be ceased anyplace and whenever if needed. Roads
assume a job of feeders to railroads. Without the great streets,
railroads can't gather adequate produce to make their activity
conceivable. Infrastructural development shows the extent to
which some government projects can vantage social situation in
a country. Well-developed roads are an indication that a country
has growth in both economically and socially. Therefore, road
foundation is the most critical of every single open resource,
(Chaturvedy, 2017).
Studies by Chaturvedy demonstrate that enough keeping
up roads foundation is basic to safeguard and upgrade those
advantages. Be that as it may, an overabundance of
extraordinary support has caused irreversible disintegration of
the roads together with other social aspects of the society. In
the event that deficient upkeep is completed, roads can require
supplanting or significant fixes after only a couple of years,
(Bhandari, 2014) That disintegration spread over an
infrastructural framework in all respects rapidly brings about
taking off expenses and a noteworthy money related effect on
the economy and citizens. Such implications affect the social
aspects of the society. Lack of good roads is a social problem
since it forms foundation to other societal problems.

3. Nepal is affected by some Issues, for example, savagery,
political unsteadiness, joblessness, ecological contaminations
and so forth. Be that as it may, completely, the three noteworthy
societal issues in Nepal are poverty, violations and ecological
contaminations. These issues are directly connected to the
country’s poor infrastructure. As in numerous other creating
nations Nepal has high poverty rate (Chaturvedy, 2017).
Countless come up short on the deficient wellbeing and
sanitation offices and are malnourished. Hence, they are
unskilled also. Numerous individuals either have occupations
that don't pay enough to endure or are jobless. According to
Kezdi death rates are high among kids and individuals regularly
can't discover sufficient personal accommodation. The nation
needs proper and reasonable profitable exercises or more
businesses to give occupations to individuals. Since numerous
legislature and non-administrative associations are limiting
neediness in Nepal and notwithstanding making contrasts in
improving the life of numerous individuals, (Kezdi, 2016). This
could be taken as the positive activity.
It is contrasting that; crime stand second position as another
serious issue of my nation. Since wrongdoings can be
characterized from various perspectives, for our motivation we
characterize it as a demonstration deserving of law. It can take
numerous structures, for example, sorted out wrongdoings like
dacoit, gold pirating, fear based oppression and so forth. Thus,
the little scale violations like taking, prostitution, gift, murder,
assault and so on; as is commonly the situation in numerous
nations around the globe. These violations are expanding in a
disturbing rate and in this way expanding instability and dread
among individuals living in my nation. Besides, the issue
numerous nations face and numerous administrations are tested
with choosing what sorts of strategies to execute to avert crime
(Bhandari, 2014).
It is imperative to understand the social problems described
above in Nepal; understanding that these issues are caused by
lack of good infrastructure aids in solving major problem. If an

4. individual looks at lack of road as a social problem, he/she will
understand that this issue causes such problems as discussed
above. For this reason, lack of roads is a huge social issue since
it gives birth to other problems within then society. Statistics
have shown that countries with better roads have lower crime
rate, lower prostitution levels, lower child motility and a more
functional social system. Roads improve the economic situation
of citizens. Economists postulate that infrastructural
development especially roads is an indication of growth. Having
said this, Nepal must address poor roads as social factor to help
improve the situation of its citizens.
