Participants Speak

arthalaya, school of entrepreneurship and economics, is the best package for young entrepreneurs, who have the zeal to do something in the near future.

-Rajneesh Bhandari

Arthalaya has helped me turn into a free thinking individual. Coming to arthalaya, I have realized that the traditional education I have received had taken me in a very narrow lane in terms of thinking. But with the lecturers, activities, and discussions in this program, I have exceeded my own expectation in terms of growth in knowledge.

-Sarita Sapkota

In spite of giving the country and the government all the workloads, we learnt from Arthalaya that to bring economic revolution in the country, government should create an environment feasible to public who want to invest in business.

  • Freedom and equality: when are they mutually exclusive?

    by Sarita Sapkota | 02 September, 2010

    In the article 'Seven Principles of Sound Public Policy', Lawrence W. Reed stated his first principle as "Free people are not equal, and equal people are not free". Not referring to equality as the equality before law and purely taking it in a sense of material wealth, many people I know find the statement agreeable but somehow they don't like the sound of it and in a political setting like ours, its only predictable.
