Nepali Congress Discusses Role of Engineers with Center for Democratic Engineers Nepal

Kathmandu. A discussion program was held between the Nepali Congress and its well-wisher organization, the Center for Democratic Engineers Nepal (CIDE N), at the party's central office in Sanepa. In the program organized by the Nepali Congress, serious discussions were held on the role, rights and interests of engineers and future strategic plans.

In the discussion organized at the special invitation of party president Gagan Kumar Thapa, a deep deliberation was held on the role that technical manpower can play in the country's development, good governance, and sustainable infrastructure construction.

At the program, CIDE N president Rabi Bhushan Jha stated that it is necessary to ensure the effective presence of the intellectual class, especially engineers, within the Nepali Congress.

President Jha urged the leadership to prioritize the selection of competent, experienced, and technically backgrounded individuals as candidates in the upcoming local and provincial elections.

He said, 'The goal of prosperity cannot be achieved without the meaningful participation of engineers from policy-making to implementation levels. Therefore, the party must give space to technical leadership.'

Expressing solidarity with the issues raised during the discussion, leader Gagan Kumar Thapa expressed his commitment to ensuring the representation of engineers and the technical sector in various structures of the Nepali Congress, from the central working committee onwards.

Thapa said that the representation of this sector would be addressed through the amendment of the party's statute. Representatives from CIDE N at the central to provincial levels participated significantly in the program.
