New Education Minister Pledges to Fulfill Election Promises, Citing Party Manifesto as Roadmap

Kathmandu. The newly appointed Minister for Education, Science and Technology, Sasmik Pokharel, has assumed office with a resolve to fulfill the promises made to the public during the elections. While taking charge at the Ministry in Singha Durbar on Friday, he clarified that the work would be guided primarily by the manifesto published by the Rastriya Swatantra Party (RSP).

Pokharel, who also holds the portfolio for the Ministry of Youth and Sports, assured that the government would be fully focused on implementing the one hundred commitments mentioned in the party's manifesto. Minister Pokharel stated that the mandate given by the people through the elections has made them extremely responsible, and he committed to not letting the voters' trust be broken.

He put forward a strategy to focus on tangible results, achievements, and infrastructure development in the education sector, rather than just planning. The main objective for the next five years is to materialize the party's promises through every ministry, and his plan is to move forward in coordination with all ministries for this purpose.

He stated that the construction and strengthening of physical infrastructure would be prioritized for the development of both the education and sports sectors. Claiming that radical changes would be brought to both education and sports by focusing on results-oriented work rather than administrative hassles, he asserted that improvements felt by the public would be made during his tenure.

He expressed his determination to streamline state mechanisms and move forward by transforming the points in the manifesto into an action plan.
