TANAHU: Former Assistant General Secretary of the Nepali Congress and ex-Education Minister Govinda Raj Joshi has stressed the need for overhauling reforms in the educational sector to check the rising trend of brain drain.

In lack of anticipated reforms in the education sector the trend of youths going abroad has continued, he said while inaugurating the Silver Jubilee ceremony of Tribhuvan Campus in Bhanu municipality-11, Manechauka of Tanahu.

Joshi said that quality and vocational education was the need of the hour.

The brain drain has been on the rise due to an increment in unemployment in the country, he said, calling for the governments to create an environment to retain youths in the country.
