Transformation areas are identified: PM Prachanda

Kathmandu, April 25: Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal 'Prachanda' has said areas for constructive transformation were identified for the implementation of development plans.     

The PM informed that 13 areas of transformation were identified for the implementation from coming fiscal year.     

Addressing the concluding meeting of the National Development Council on Thursday, PM Prachanda viewed traditional style would not work to achieve development results.     

"The 16th periodic plan has finely identified the major agenda and challenges before Nepal's development process," he argued, adding that these agenda and challenges would be gradually addressed via policy and programmes and budget as well.     

The PM further argued the periodic plans must implement the transformation areas in order to achieve the ambition of 'good governance, social justice and prosperity'.     

The Head of the government also stated that the 16th periodic plan had incorporated estimate of necessary resources along with the strategies required to implement the plans.     

He underlined the need of collective responsibility, congruity among policy, policy, programmes and budget, and robust coordination and cooperation among three tiers of governments.     

The Prime Minister sought assistance from all sides including private sectors and development agencies to enforce the 16th plan effectively. Optimum use of available resources by maintaining fiscal discipline is equally imperative, the PM reminded. (RSS)
