KATHMANDU – CPN (Unified Socialist) Chair Madhav Kumar Nepal has said the government policies and programmes for the upcoming fiscal year are capable of addressing the current problems in the nation.
Taking part in deliberations on the government new policies and programmes during a session of the House of Representatives (HoR) today, the lawmaker said the fresh government policies and programmes would be a help to address issues like workforce plight, economic recession, high interests rates, lack of agriculture productivity and food crisis and transform the nation.
“The concept of individualism and feeling of superiority hamper the culture of cooperation, making it weaker,” the former Prime Minister said. “Education system is detrimental in shaping the citizens.” He was of the view of choosing only substantial projects and prioritising them on the basis of needs assessment.
The leader also expressed his concern over a delay in the development of Nijgadh Airport in Bara. “The airport is necessary for tourism promotion and economic reforms,” he said, adding that each project should yield-results.
As he said, the priority to sports within from the ward-level is the good aspect of the policies and programmes. He drew the government’s attention towards the lack of timely commencement of roadways projects and the lack of quality maintenance in the implementation.
The leader believed that it was necessary to increase production to have more jobs and to advance towards self-sufficiency. He utilised the rostrum to urge the government to take the world economic crisis into mind while making its plans ahead. “The budget should be for the cause of people and development,” he said rebuking the comments that “fresh policies and programmes are of no gravity.”
