In Ghorahi there was a compulsion to do farming only in dry areas and Akashepani. After collecting water, we proceeded to create development, employment and prosperity. At present, 43 artificial reservoirs have been constructed in Ghorahi, surface and lifting and underground water recharge is also being done. There are fish in those reservoirs. When we brought people from Pokhara to fish, we got fish up to 11 kg.
Hotels and shops are open when tourists come to see the reservoir. Young people who want to go abroad are now earning a lot of income by farming vegetables at home. He stopped going abroad from us like before. The wells and deep borings have not dried up as the land has been recharged by the reservoir water .
If we can stop big rivers, we can make use of water, stones, gravel and sand . If we block the river from the front, we can use stones, gravel and sand for 12 months because the Gegrans will get stuck. Fish can be reared by making a dam . It can create employment and make people self-reliant. In the field of sanitation, we are moving towards the production of fertilizer and gas from waste as we can make seals from garbage. We have paid attention to separating the waste from re-use and etc. . Work is being done through many toll development organizations to separate digestible and non-digestible waste at home.
There is no dung on the roads of our municipality. We have managed the cattle left on the road by taking them to Chaklighat. We have made the road free of stray cattle. We have made the roads human-free in coordination with social welfare organizations. We have managed the street beggars, house to house beggars . We have declared a child-friendly city. No orphan should have to steal to survive. The hotels do not have child labor environment and we have made it child labor free . Coordination with Shanti Balgriha, we have arranged everything from health, education.
In a village in Ghorahi, there was a situation where patients had to be carried on their heads. First, it was difficult to bring pregnant women sisters . We have reached many places including Baseri. There is a situation where an ambulance can go to every toltoll. Ghorahi understands that health is the basis of prosperity. For the health of the citizens, we have provided blood for free in any case within the municipality.
Cataract surgery is free. We are going door to door to check the health of senior citizens monthly. Women are suffering from cervical cancer . Cervical cancer screening is free. Regularly every week on Thursday at Rapti Health Science Institute, the employees of the Municipality conduct regular checks under the Institutional Family Planning Program.
For sanitation, we are collecting revenue at a lower rate than the other four municipalities. However, there are some complaints in the area of cleanliness. The work has been done to regulate the citizens without increasing the rate . If the map has been passed, there is a concession on the tax rate . Earlier, they were getting a discount in the revenue because they did not pass the house map. Since the tender was given to the private sector, the contractor has taken it up . Those who were taking free benefits earlier are complaining today. Earlier, we used to spend a lot on sanitation, but today we are earning from it.
The local government must complete the work that can be completed during its tenure. In terms of roads, the aim was to connect each ward to the pitch road and create an environment where the municipal office comes from the pitch road. One of our ward is located in a hilly area.
where there weren't even street tacks . After I was elected, I worked to open the road leading to Saiga via Masina Katuwakhola . Apart from that, there is a road pitch from 18 wards to the municipality. No one has to walk from his ward in the mud to come to the municipality. There is no road track and there is no ambulance. The road may be blocked due to rain, but there is no situation that the road has not reached.
When union and state governments do not act on time, there are many public complaints and local level heads still have to listen to those complaints . The lack of development in the system has caused problems. The government is changing time and time again. The problem of budget decrease after the coming of another government due to the contracts and contracts signed by one minister remains the same . The road goes through a hole. The road is blocked. Local government cannot work there. State and federal government will continue to work. This is the problem of country development.
Union and state should complete the work started and the municipality should also do its work. It is important to say that the good governance, development and prosperity of the country is ours rather than what the union, state and municipality have done. If not, one accuses the other. It is necessary for all the three governments to be active and move forward. The municipalities are going to fully implement the 22 rights given to the local government by the constitution.
The state has made a law to uplift the Dalit community. Belonging to the state or government is the right of a citizen. One woman participating in each ward does not mean that all Dalits are represented and developed. Allocating the budget for basic issues and bringing programs is the main issue . Land related problems, employment, development and other various problems are the main issues to be resolved . The local government is committed to implementing the rights guaranteed to Dalits by the state and the constitution.
is the main basis of educational reform development . 93 community schools and 76 institutional schools both fall under the authority of the municipality. The number of students in public schools in Ghorahi was decreasing and the number of teachers was increasing. Now we have worked to match the posts of teachers based on the number of students .
What was once a primary school has now become a secondary school. But the leadership was being done by the primary school teacher . After we were elected, we managed the principal in a hierarchical manner . For educational reform, we emphasized on the quality of the students rather than the number. We proceeded to make a model school .
We have started the examination of class 8 at the inter-school level . It is necessary to increase the mentality of students that I am weak, I have to study . We are also creating an environment for the teacher that the students are weak in their subject and should be taught more .
We have been organizing Mayor's Cup Football and Deputy Mayor's Cup Volleyball to discipline the youth and guide them to the right path. We have developed sports development committee and are conducting many types of games. Ghorahi sub-metropolitan city is being developed as a sports hub.
