 Nepalese Young Entrepre­neurs’ Forum (NYEF) is set to host the sixth edition of the ‘Made in Nepal’ exhibition in the Capital from March 16.

Issuing a press statement last week, NYEF officials said that the three-day event aims to promote entrepreneurship and domestic goods and services. The event will display prod­ucts like garments, automo­biles, handicrafts, agriculture, leather, furniture, travel and tours, cottage industry, herbal products, fashion designing, music and movies.

With the slogan ‘Afno Bhanya Afnai Ho’, which is a repeat of last year’s edition, the idea, according to the organiz­ers, is to reinforce the percep­tion that Nepali products can also be on a par with interna­tional products.
