Finance Minister Rameshwor Khanal has expressed his commitment to bring the Shaheed Dashrath Chand University of Health Sciences into operation within his tenure. Minister Khanal, who arrived in Dhangadhi to inaugurate the Sudurpaschim Festival, said it was unfortunate that the university had not been put into operation despite the completion of its construction.
He said that the necessary appointments and processes for the operation of the university will be taken forward immediately. ‘Even if it means changing the working procedures, we will try to get the university operational as soon as possible,’ he said.
Finance Minister Khanal said that although the operation of the university falls under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, he cannot shy away from it. He said, ‘I will keep in regular contact with the Minister of Education and get the university operational at its full capacity as much as possible.’
He mentioned that there are few large projects in the Far West and that even completed projects have not been operational due to government neglect. ‘The pace of development should be rapid in line with its geography, natural and cultural heritage and population, but the Far West has fallen behind because the government did not give priority,’ Khanal said.
Finance Minister Khanal mentioned that although the Far West has great potential in the fields of electricity generation and tourism, the state has not been able to move forward in utilizing it. He said that his goal is to complete the Dodhara-Chandani border checkpoint and prepare the foundation stone for large projects during his tenure.
Meanwhile, Pushkar Raj Ojha, president of the festival organizer Kailali Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said that the festival has made a significant contribution to the social, economic and tourism sectors of the province. According to him, the festival has played a role in boosting the economy of the Far West by encouraging industrialists and businessmen.
Chandra Dhakal, president of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry, claimed that the country's 'largest tourism infrastructure' is in the Far West.
Informing that the Rajkanda-Chisapani cable car under construction in Lamkichuha Municipality will be operational from next Baisakh, he expressed confidence that it will greatly contribute to tourism development.
