Kathmandu. MetLife Nepal and the School of Mathematical Sciences (SMS), a leading life insurance company in Nepal, have entered into a partnership to start a scholarship program aimed at producing future actuary professionals of Nepal. <\/p>\n
Although actuarial science is very important in the insurance and financial services sector of Nepal, there is a lack of skilled manpower in this sector.

However, the number of skilled manpower in this sector is still limited in Nepal.
