History of computer in Nepal
At that time British Government helped to develop manpower of NCC. In the meantime Nepalese students went to India, Thailand and USA for the computer education themselves. In 2039 B.S., microcomputers such as Apple, Vector, Sins, etc were imported by private companies and individuals. Many private companies like Computer Consultancy (CC), Management Information Processing System (MIPS), Data System International (DSI), etc were established. Such private companies started selling computers and training people in other to produce manpower in Nepal itself.
Nowadays, computers with faster processing and larger storage are found cheaply in Nepalese market. Students are given computer education from school level. At present Computer Association of Nepal (CAN) is the governing body of nepal.
Now the world is progressing much more in science and technology. This is the 21st century where the demand of the technology is more. Information technology made the world smaller and smaller because people can access the whole world from one part of the world. They can shop and get information of the world with one click.
Our country Nepal is quite developing in Information Technology. Nowadays in Nepal different college have started teaching information technology courses to the students. From these courses, student can compete with the international market in IT field. Nowadays, from class II computer education are given to the students in some schools. But the education system of our country is aged. The courses that have been collapsed from the international market are being used in our schools and colleges.
To participate in international market, our education system should be changed and the new system should be raised. From class II to Bachelor level students get bored learning all this history, generation, computer system, and other replicating courses. The market based computer course should be taught in the schools and colleges, so that the unemployment problem can be solved to some extent. If the students get the market based IT course then they can even work in single PC at home and they can earn for their own.
We want to suggest the IT education system of Nepal should be changed and new course should be started which helps the students like us to established our own IT career and work for the country and the unemployment problem of the country can be solved somehow by the youth of the country. Some universities should provide the online graduation course so that student can work while studying. Some of our college say that the student can study in morning class and work in day but after joining the college the morning classes run up to 12PM-2Pm and who will give part time job to those student who have to work and study by the money collected by their work. If such colleges run the online courses, student can learn the course while they are free from the work. We should change the education system of Nepal. If student cannot get the market based courses, how can they work in the market though the course they have learned. So we have to think about that unless the education system of the Nepal is modified, the economic and social status of the country cannot build up.
There is not a long history of computers in Nepal.Nepal hired some
types of calculators and computers for it's census calculation.Following
list shows it's history in Nepal.· In 2018 BS an electronic calculator
called "Facit" was used for census.· In 2028 BS census IBM 1401 a second
generation mainframe computer was used.· In 2031 BS a center for
Electronic Data Processing ,Later
renamed to National Computer Center(NCC),was established for national
data processing and computer training.· In 2038 BS ICL 2950/10 a second
generation mainframe computer was used for census.· Now-a-days probably
each and every institutions,business organizations,communication
centers,ticket counters etc are using computers.
The history of computer in Nepal is not that old since Nepal has not given any contribution in the development of evolution of computer. It was in 2028 B.S. when HMG brought IBM 1401 (a Second Generation computer) on rent for Rs. 1 lakhs and 25 thousand per month to process census data. Later the computer was bought by National Computer Center (NCC). In 2038 B.S., a fourth generation computer was imported with the aid of UNDP and UNFPA from England for 20 lakhs US dollars. Its name was ICL 2950/10. This computer had 64 terminals and it is kept in museum now.
