Experts have pointed out that for the prosperity of Chitwan, radical changes are needed in the fields of education, health and infrastructure along with tourism. They emphasize that infrastructure and stable policies for the education and health sectors are essential for the development of tourism.

On Thursday, Kantipur Media Group organized 'Chitwan Chintan' at Solti West End Resort with the basic slogan of 'Chitwan's strengths, possibilities, problems and solutions'. Speakers in the program said that Chitwan, which is rich in nature, is also leading human development through tourism, education, health and infrastructure. 

Chitwan is benefiting the country from production, service, industry, trade, agriculture, education and health and tourism sectors. Therefore, for the prosperity of the country, the speakers emphasized that Chitwan should be developed and its potential should be fully utilized. Bahadur Singh Lama Tamang, Chief Minister of Wagmati Province, said that since Chitwan is a district that has the potential to generate good income through the promotion of agricultural products and tourism, he is serious about highlighting it. As the main speaker of the program, he said that the state government is committed to support planned development by studying and researching all possibilities. 

"In order to increase industrial production and productivity and promote internal and external trade, the province has prepared to bring a separate industry and commerce policy," he said, "without the establishment, development and expansion of industries and factories, there is no possibility of production and employment." It is important to attract investment for the establishment of industry. That is why the provincial government is trying to establish a provincial investment board to create a suitable environment for industrial business operations by increasing domestic and foreign investment. 

Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Minister Badri Prasad Pandey said that Chitwan should be made a tourist center. "Chitwan is the midpoint of Himal, Hills and Terai, between Mechi and Mahakali," he said in the fourth session "Tourism's Path to Prosperity", "It is close to Kathmandu, the Wagmati government has decided to make it a tourist capital, and it is also close to Pokhara.  Chitwan can be developed from a tourist point of view by making it a center. He said that even though service facilities have been given to the airline company, the action plan has been passed to operate Bhairahawa and Pokhara airports. 

Suman Ghimire, a tourism businessman, says that tourist traffic is being affected due to the lack of sufficient air transport network and the poor road infrastructure. "The problem is that there are not enough flights for the number of tourists who should come by air," he said.

Head of Bharatpur Metropolitan Municipality Renu Dahal said that the first step of development is the road network. Yesterday it took two hours to go to Meghauli from Bharatpur market. Now it takes half an hour. Its direct benefits have reached the citizens here," she said. Dahal claims that Bharatpur or the entire Chitwan district, which is known as the third tourist destination of the country, is likely to become the second tourist destination soon. 

Mayor Dahal mentioned that they have moved forward according to the plan of balanced development in all areas including road infrastructure, tourism, agriculture, education and health. "Bharatpur has caught the rhythm of development, if we can continue this rhythm in the future, it will become the second tourist destination", she said. Dahal says that he is serious about creating a favorable environment to increase economic activity and attract investment in Bharatpur. To attract investors, we are trying to provide roads, electricity, IT facilities and create conditions that make movement and stay safe. I request investors to invest in Bharatpur with confidence,” she added.

Vishal Kumal, Chairman of Chitwan Golaghat Tourism Development Committee, said that for the prosperity of Chitwan, the enterprises and services of this region should be connected with business. He said that tourism will expand only after being commercially successful. He said that although there is a lot of potential in the culture, heritage, and tradition of this region, there is a problem because it cannot be fully connected with business. 

Indira Adhikari Paudel, associate professor of Madan Bhandari Academy of Health Sciences, said that due to the lack of favorable policy, Chitwan could not be made a hub for education and health sector, the expected achievements in education and health sector were not achieved. She said that the lack of manpower in the education and health sectors is a challenge, and its direct impact is on the health sector.

She said that the college where nursing is taught has been closed due to government policies and laws. "Our manpower is migrating abroad," she said.

President and Managing Director of Chitwan Medical College Harishchandra Neupane said that the government should recognize Chitwan as a medical city. "This should be written in an act, law, policy, rule and procedure," he said.

Medical Director of Bharatpur Cancer Hospital Shivji Paudel said that the state should address the problems of the medical sector through policies. "We are thinking very far ahead, we are trying to make Chitwan a medical city along with a tourist spot," he said, "how the state will address this remains to be seen." 

The Vice President of the Policy and Planning Commission of Bagmati Province, Gangadat Nepal, said that by making a policy that is compatible with the federal system, the manpower who migrates abroad can be kept in Nepal. "The policy of the province alone cannot stop it," he said.
