ROLE OF METROLOGY IN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF NEPAL
S. R. Joshi
Abstract:
The least developed countries of the world whose internal developments are uneven and diversified may not be able to sustain in a globalised world if their products can not compete with the products of developed countries. Further, the competitive strength of a nation in global development is measured through production and market flexibility, information flow, sound financial base, adequate legal framework for business and commerce, skilled personnel and modern style of management process. The export items of those countries are very much confined to traditional commodities with less export value. Hence, in order to develop an industrial sector as an important means of earning foreign currency by improving the quality, productivity and the production of exportable items, one should have an organization responsible for the promotion of industrial development through setting standards and certification of industrial products along with Transparent international measurement traceability to promote import substituting and export promoting industries on the basis of competitiveness.
