2024. It is the first operator to provide 4G LTE service in Nepal on a technology-neutral
frequency band of 1800 MHz as standard for 4G in Nepal. To date, 4G is available in all
seven provinces in Nepal. In July 2019, Nepal Telecom successfully tested VoLTE service for
the first time in Nepal, and it will be available for users starting May 17, 2021. According to

2.1 Manpower planning
Manpower planning, also known as human resource planning, is a critical function within
Nepal Telecommunications Corporation (NTC). It involves forecasting the corporation’s fu-
ture staffing needs and devising strategies to meet those needs to ensure the organization
can achieve its objectives.
• Optimal Use of Human Resources: Ensuring the efficient use of existing employees by
aligning their skills with the organization’s needs.
• Training and Development: Identifying training needs to equip employees with neces-
sary skills and knowledge.
• Succession Planning: Preparing for future vacancies in key positions by identifying and
developing potential successors.
• Forecasting Demand and Supply: Estimating the number and types of employees re-
quired in the future and assessing the current workforce’s capability.
• Gap Analysis: Identifying the gap between the current workforce and future needs.
• Action Plan Development: Formulating strategies to bridge the gap, which may include
recruitment, training, and redeployment. Monitoring and Evaluation: Regularly re-
viewing the manpower plan to ensure it aligns with organizational changes and market
conditions.

2.1.3 Challenges in Manpower Planning
• Technological Changes: Rapid advancements in telecommunications technology require
continuous updating of skills and knowledge.
2.2 Hiring
Hiring is a crucial component of NTC’s human resource strategy, aimed at attracting, select-
ing, and onboarding talented individuals who can contribute to the organization’s success.
During our visit to the NTC office in Babarmahal, we focused on understanding the hiring
process. The Human Resource Manager provided detailed insights into the entire process,
including the conditions for job vacancies, the frequency of openings, and the number of
positions available.
• Number of Positions: The number of seats available varies based on the specific
needs arising from technological advancements and operational demands. For example,
the rollout of 5G technology may require hiring additional engineers and technical staff.
8
• Interview Process: Structured interviews are conducted to assess technical skills,
problem-solving abilities, and cultural fit within the organization. These interviews
may involve multiple rounds, including technical assessments and behavioral interviews,
to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of each candidate.
• Skill Matching: Aligning candidates’ skills and experience with job requirements
to enhance productivity and job satisfaction. NTC seeks candidates with relevant
technical skills and experience to meet the demands of their operations.
• Cultural Fit: Assessing candidates’ alignment with NTC’s values and organizational
culture. It is important that new hires can integrate smoothly into the existing team
and uphold the company’s standards and values.
9
• Access to Information: Providing clear and accessible information about job vacan-
cies through NTC’s official website, Gorkhapatra Daily, and public service commission
(PSC) websites.
• Retention: Attracting talent is only part of the challenge; retaining them in a compet-
itive job market is equally important. Ensuring job satisfaction and providing growth
opportunities are critical for retention.
• Regulatory Compliance: Adhering to labor laws and regulations during the hiring
process. NTC must ensure that their hiring practices comply with all relevant legal
requirements to avoid any legal issues.
• Technological Adaptation: Ensuring that new hires can quickly adapt to new tech-
nologies, such as 5G, which are essential for NTC’s operations and service quality.
2.3 Training
After hiring employees, particularly engineers, at the NTC Babarmahal branch, various
training programs are provided to ensure they are capable of working in different branches
of the office and maintaining telecommunications equipment. These training programs are
conducted at the Babarmahal training center just before handing over the job responsibilities
to new hires.
10
• Continuous Professional Development (CPD): Offering opportunities for em-
ployees to pursue further education and certifications relevant to their roles. CPD
programs help employees stay updated with industry advancements and improve their
career prospects.
11
2.3.3 Importance of Training
• Skill Enhancement: Ensuring employees have the necessary skills to perform their
roles effectively. Training programs help employees develop both technical and soft
skills.
2.4 Salary/Incentives
The salary structure for employees will follow the standard government pay scale as illus-
trated below in( figure 2.3). However, working in the technical field at NTC (Nepal Telecom-
munication Corporation) offers additional benefits. As a public corporation, NTC allocates
a significant portion of its revenue for organizational and government use. Employees can
earn additional compensation through performance-based bonuses if the company achieves
profitability.
In addition to the base salary, employees may receive incentives such as bonuses, stock
options, and allowances for training and field visits. These benefits, combined with oppor-
tunities for career advancement and professional development, contribute to a potentially
lucrative compensation package. For those with extensive experience and higher positions,
monthly earnings can reach substantial amounts.

6. Conclusion
The case study of Babarmahal NTC provides valuable insights into its organizational struc-
ture and operational practices within the public sector. The hierarchical structure ensures
clarity in authority and efficient management of specialized departments, contributing to a
stable and regulated environment. However, this structure also introduces challenges such
as bureaucratic delays, which can slow down hiring and decision-making processes. For in-
stance, the lengthy recruitment cycle has led to delays in filling critical technical positions,
potentially impacting project timelines and organizational efficiency. Despite a competitive
salary structure and performance-based incentives designed to boost motivation, there is
a need for more robust career advancement opportunities and improved work-life balance
policies to retain top talent effectively.
To address these challenges, Babarmahal NTC must implement strategic and innovative
solutions. For example, integrating digital recruitment tools could streamline the hiring pro-
cess, making it more agile and responsive. Expanding training programs to include modern
technologies and industry best practices will ensure that employees are well-equipped to han-
dle evolving job requirements. Moreover, enhancing recognition systems, such as introducing
employee awards and feedback mechanisms, could significantly improve job satisfaction and
motivation. Addressing salary competitiveness by regularly reviewing compensation pack-
ages against industry standards will also be crucial. By adopting these measures, Babarmahal
NTC can overcome its current limitations, enhance operational efficiency, and foster a more
dynamic and motivated workforce, ultimately driving organizational success and growth.
