Minister Bhattarai said that a prosperous nation can be built only with quality education. Mentioning that education workers have an equal role in making policies related to education, she emphasized that everyone should help from their respective places.

We have reached a state of becoming.' She claimed that she started the discussion of the Education Bill only after she took charge of the ministry.
