Nepal's tenth five-year plan has sunsetted in July 2007 and Nepal is lagging behind in achieving the number of telecenters to be established in rural areas of Nepal. In order to take the Telecentre movement forward, one of the biggest hindrances has been identified by the Second National Conference on Rural Telecentres, Swaabhimaan 2063 as the lack of political will and commitment at a time where the political situation was fluid and changing.
