It is my pleasure to introduce myself; Ms. Aakriti Acharya, from Nepal who is very much interested to pursue Masters in International Relation at your University. A chance to come to China and study in one of the most renowned university "Renmin University” means a new chapter in my academic as well as professional life. I am hopeful of being able to contribute towards the development of my nation with the tools and theories learnt in the duration of the course. I have completed my Masters in Business Administration from Kathmandu University School of Management, Kathmandu, Nepal. I have done different projects and presentations during the two years of study which has boosted my self-confidence and has broadened my knowledge. I have also lead many teams while doing the projects which have developed leadership and team building capabilities within me. I have worked in the field of entrepreneurship development program for several years where I have helped people with business ideas establish a viable and thriving business by linking them to investors and providing them proper guidance and trainings. After completing MBA and working for few years as a Programs Manager, I now aim to develop my strategic management skills using the application of modern research methods. I also wish to learn how to effectively lead change, make strategic decisions, solve organizational problems more systematically and strengthen my creativity. Recently, I have had the opportunity to visit China for a 3 week seminar and I feel very blessed for this as I got chance to meet different people from different walks of life and witnessed what impact the development of a Nation has on its citizens. I observed that the growth and development of the manufacturing and service sector has led to the growth and development of the country. But in Nepal; there is a lack of understanding of the importance of these sectors and its impacts. There lacks enough study and research in the field, which shall form a bed rock for new policy formulators and leaders. We have all seen that the two giant neighbouring economies India and China are booming, and our economy is mere dragging itself. While businesses are shutting down and bearing the brunt of unstable government and short sighted economic policy here in Nepal; the output of manufacturing and service sector are on an all-time high in these Nations. Nepal’s decade long political instability has shown nothing but the lack of commitment, knowledge and effort which has hampered the development and given pain to the citizens. Now more than ever; Nepal needs to learn from China about the policies and regulations relating to development and requires a major paradigm shift in the way it looks at the National development. I will be really honoured if I get chance to study in one of the most rapidly growing Nation, understand the reasons behind the rapid growth and conduct research on how that experience can be used in the development of my country. Also, being a woman from a developing country, I believe I can become a voice for many girls who are less fortunate than me and add a needed dynamics to the classroom. I have a firm belief that this will not only be an opportunity to study Chinese experience in development but also a chance to look back at my own country and think and hopefully lead a change in the future. I am fully committed to my career path of working towards the development of my county and the opportunity to study there will be a positive step.
