Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is an experimental and unconventional US foreign assistance agency, which aims to fight global poverty. Nepal signed the MCC agreement in 2017 and according to the MCC agreement, the MCC Nepal Compact consists of two major projects:

  1. 300-km 400 kilovolt electricity transmission line
  2. Upgrading a 100-km east-west highway.

However, citizens of Nepal are currently divided into two groups, one in favor and against MCC. NepalNews talked to a few of the youths of the nation to hear what they thought about the agreement and also about the violent protests that are happening surrounding it.
