It was wonderful to read about Bal Krishna Kasula's extraordinary feat ('A Bhaktapur brick-layer', #222). His efforts in earthquake resistant construction technology has proves he is a real asset to the country. However, it seems that his expertise is getting promoted outside the country more than within. There are many like him. Their skills should be used by Nepalis people first. NSET and the government should also provide people like Kasula support so they are able to further improve their skills.
