Kathmandu, Aug 26: The Youth Association Nepal (YAN), the youth wing of CPN-UML, has pledged to use and promote the home-made items in their formal programmes throughout the country.
At a programme organized by the YAN here on Thursday, the leaders of the Association have expressed their commitment to garner a majority for CPN-UML in upcoming elections and take the rein of the government again.
They held their views that although CPN-UML was hailed for introducing grand and popular projects, including economic development oriented programmes during its nine-month leadership; the Party-led government was brought down in lack of a majority.
Speaking at the programme, CPN-UML Secretary Yogesh Bhattarai underscored the maximum utilization of the rich resources of the country.
Similarly, Nepali Congress central member Bishwa Prakash Sharma stated that expenditure in consumption was on the rise although the country receives more than Rs 6 billion of remittance yearly from more than 1.9 million Nepali migrant workers abroad.
Likewise, Secretary of Ministry of Labor and Employment Bishnu Prasad Lamsal spoke of the need to lessen the dependency on the import of the foreign goods and increase the homemade ones.
FNCCI President Pashupati Murarka shared the private sector which earlier contributed some 14 per cent to the country’s GDP now had shrunk to 5 percent owing to the decline in industries.
Present at the event were YAN Vice-President Dilu Panta, YAN former President Mahesh Basnet, constitution expert Tikaram Bhattarai, LP Sanwa among others who univocally concluded that the political instability had contributed to the youth unemployment.
They also urged the government to capitalize on the remittance sent by the migrant workers abroad by investing some portion of their remittance in the hydro electricity projects. RSS
