Father of Newly Appointed Minister Gita Chaudhary Urges Her to Work for Public Welfare

Kanchanpur. After Gita Chaudhary, 33, from Asaina, Shuklaphanta Municipality-4, Kanchanpur, became the Minister for Agriculture and Livestock Development and Minister for Forest and Environment, her father, Jayaram Dagaura, advised her to work for the benefit of the public.

"Our family is overjoyed by the news of our daughter becoming a minister," said Gita's father, Jayaram. "May my daughter be able to fulfill the responsibilities entrusted to her in a way that brings happiness to the entire nation's people."

Gita, who became a proportional representative from Kanchanpur Constituency No. 2 from the Rastriya Swatantra Party, is the first Tharu woman from this region to become a federal government minister from the Chaudhary community. Chaudhary, who completed her primary level education at Janajyoti Basic School, Jonapur, in Shuklaphanta Municipality-3, completed her secondary level education at Rastriya Ma. Vi. Pipaladi. She completed her Proficiency Certificate Level studies from Shri Krishna High School in Jhalari Bazaar and obtained her Bachelor's and Master's degrees from Kathmandu School of Law and Nepal Law Campus, respectively. Chaudhary is also a lawyer.

"Gita, the eldest among seven sisters and one brother, used to speak out against discrimination and social evils since childhood," said her father, Jayaram. "We are delighted by the news that our daughter, from a low-income family, has become a minister." Gita's father, Jayaram, who has only basic literacy, mentioned the immense struggle he faced educating his children.

"I have been managing household expenses and children's education by farming and, more recently, by working in shuttering," he said. "The success she achieved up to this point is due to her hard work and education."

Similarly, Minister Gita's uncle, Dambar Chaudhary, mentioned the significant difficulties she faced for her education. "She had a habit of not backing down, even if it meant taking loans for her studies," he said. "After marriage, she immersed herself in studies and politics to reach this position."

Chaudhary, who is married to Sunil Chaudhary from SainaMaina, Butwal, has one daughter. Gita's husband, Sunil, teaches at an agriculture campus. Chaudhary, who enjoys being involved in various clubs, children's clubs, and organizations, is also a karate player.

In the 2079 general election, Gita was a candidate for the Provincial Assembly member of Sudurpashchim Province from the Nagarik Unmukti Party. Even as a first-time candidate, she received a respectable number of votes. Chaudhary, who recently joined the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP), was made a proportional candidate from here by the RSP.
