This qualitative research was conducted to identify the methods and process of employee selection in Nepalese organizations based on internet technology with a convenient sample of 20 spanning a total of 574 minutes of the interview. The data were recorded in virtual audio interviews and analyzed in the framework of content analysis. The methods adopted to select employees in the industry turned out to have seven themes: interview, written examination, assignments, headhunting, referral, and outsourcing. The conclusion is that Nepalese companies adopt some systematic techniques for hiring but they are not scientific enough not to risk loss caused due to wrong hiring decisions.

The United Nation's SDGs set out 17 goals with a more holistic approach towards development. Mental health-related targets move implicitly around goal 3: Good Health and Well-being. In low and middle-income countries like Nepal, mental health issues pose challenges for development. Tracing mental health-related SDGs in light of national strategies and related resources can depict an existing picture of mental health and a way forward. The main objective of this study was to provide an overview of how explicitly mental health-related SDGs and their targets are traced in the national context of Nepal, along with the existing challenges. Secondary literature review was used as a part of the study. The three mental healthrelated specifi c SDGs targets in Nepal were to reduce mental health problems, the suicide rate, and to increase the life satisfaction of women aged 15-24 by 2030. The existing challenges in achieving the mental health-related SDGs targets are limited resources, socio-cultural barriers, ineffective mental health legislation implementation, and the challenges posed by natural disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic situation. Scaling up the budget allocation, adequate investment in human resources, increase mental health literacy, and proper research communication among policy-makers is needed to achieve the SDGs in Nepal.
