Kulman Ghising, the outgoing Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority, has said that some selfish groups have attacked him from all sides in such a way as to hurt his dignity, reputation and honor.

While holding a press conference in Kathmandu on Friday, he said that he has honestly completed the work from ending load shedding to making the organization profitable and providing facilities to the people. 

Similarly, Kulman has also said that he is ready to contribute to nation building wherever necessary. He said, 'I have honestly completed the tasks of ending load shedding, making the organization profitable and providing facilities to the people while in the authority. All these actions were based on result-oriented leadership and accountability. My commitment will always be devoted to the service of the people. I am always ready to contribute to nation building wherever I am needed.'

He has also said that he is aware and cautious of groups trying to weaken him. "I want to make it public that I am alert and aware that similar attacks will be made in the future to weaken me," he said. 

This is Kulman's statement

After being appointed by the decision of the Council of Ministers of the Government of Nepal on July 25, 2078, I had the opportunity to serve the Nepal Electricity Authority, its consumers and the country as a whole as an executive director for the second time. I feel proud that I have been able to devote myself day and night to the service of the country and the people, staying within the limits of Nepal's constitution and existing laws.

On 11th Chait 2081, on the day when preparations were being made for the cabinet meeting to remove me, I was engaged in lighting lamps in the remote area of ​​Makwanpur, in the slums of the marginalized, poor Chepang community. Some individuals, groups or forces may have considered themselves successful in demoralizing and humiliating the working public servants while honestly fulfilling the main objective of providing reliable, quality, sufficient and safe electricity supply to the Nepalese people. 

But I am not excited or discouraged by that. Because as an honest national servant, I have not done anything to regret when reviewing my tenure, I have not wasted a single moment of making good use of opportunities and rights.

The authority is not trying to raise the premium fee for dedicated and trunk lines in Lahad, it has also been approved by the respected court. But they were trying to distract me from my main work by asking me, who was active in tax collection, to ask for details and explanations on meaningless matters and to collect thousands of pages of documents and submit the details. It is known to all that the authorities have tried to collect the arrears by disconnecting the line up to 4 times and by adopting other options.

I had written to the Electricity Regulatory Commission on 11 Chait 2081 for the agreement to disconnect the line and collect the arrears. After that, the decision to dismiss me was made by the Council of Ministers. My efforts to collect dues became the main reason for my resignation. Is my attempt to collect the dues of a public institution a crime against the state? The Nepalese people and history will certainly demand an answer to this in the coming days.

The entire country is witness to the fact that unnecessary and illegal pressure was created on me after the current government and the Minister of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation came last June for making the country self-sufficient in energy and expanding electricity trade to neighboring countries India and Bangladesh. Instead of receiving mature advice, guidance and patronage to make the institutional development and advancement of the authority effective from the officials in the leadership positions of the government, they launched a well-planned attack on me to demoralize me. It is also clear why this was done and for whom it was done.

Mainly, in the past, the authority was constantly interfering to prevent the collection of premium electricity tariff arrears from the limited industries that had unfairly dedicated and continuous electricity supply from the trunk line for industry and production, keeping the general consumer in the dark for up to 18 hours of load shedding. Should I follow the instructions of a particular person or follow the rules and laws? As the executive director of a public body like the authority, I took the path to recover the arrears of public funds. Therefore, efforts were being made to ask for clarifications from the Minister and Cabinet-level decisions, to exhaust them and to confuse them. However, my responsibility, integrity and duty could not accept the request, influence and pressure that came to not collect the outstanding amount. My honesty and self-respect did not allow me to attack the organization and the nation. That's why I have been sticking to my role by considering compliance with the law and the interests of the authorities as the most important.

If they are not satisfied with the tariffs, instead of taking advantage of their right to go to the review committee of the authority, the Electricity Regulatory Commission, the people who are running at the power center must have felt warm for some time now. However, I am convinced that no one will be exempted from their responsibility towards the public fund, the powers and groups that protect it will also have to give an account to the nation. As a responsible citizen of the country, I will continue to warn about it. I urge the common Nepali citizens to continue to work hard for this.

In countries rich in water resources, load shedding of 15/16 hours in winter and 9 hours in dry season was common until about eight years ago. Along with the campaign to make ``Bright Nepal'' by stopping load shedding forever, load shedding was stopped not only for homes and offices, but also for industrial customers from Baisakh 2075. I have said many times that the end of load shedding was not a miracle, but an honest effort.

The end of load shedding was definitely not the final goal for the authority because there was a question of load shedding only in the places where electricity was reached, but about 42 percent of the families did not have electricity service at all. These settlements and residents were anxiously waiting for electricity. However, in the meantime, the authority has succeeded in bringing electricity to more than 99 percent of families. In the past, consumers used to run to the authorities demanding electricity services. Now, the situation has changed.  The authority itself is going to poor slums looking for houses without electricity.

When loadshedding was removed, not only did the light shine in every house, but the future of about 3 million students was ensured, they could study without interruption. We were able to help save the lives of hundreds of Nepalis when the lights were off in the hospital's maternity ward and operation theater. This is the greatest satisfaction of my life. This gave hope to create new employment opportunities for thousands of Nepalis.

At a time when foreign exchange reserves were under pressure, we managed to reduce petroleum imports through power exports, energy efficiency and increased domestic production, which protected the country's precious currency from foreign exchange and supported the economy.

Under my leadership, the authority set a glorious journey. The institution, which was in constant loss, turned into a historic profit, and managed to earn billions of rupees. The assets of the authority increased by about 3 times and made it financially and technically strong and independent. This profit has been re-invested in the development of public facilities and electricity infrastructure.

The authority is working on electrification with its own resources and means even when the government of Nepal has not given a budget. Bringing electricity to people's homes is the biggest achievement of my tenure. Access to electricity has been expanded by providing free meters to extend access to electricity service to households belonging to underprivileged groups such as Sukumbasi Basti and Chepang, Musahar.

A huge investment has been made from the authority's own resources for electrification. Not only the electrification of the villages, but also in the partnership with the local authorities, a large investment has been made in the expansion of smart street lights to light up the city. Is giving light to the people a crime against the national interest? I believe that the country and society will definitely find the answer to this. No matter how many attempts were made to discourage me, I saw no reason to be dissatisfied with my tenure and role. I would also like to mention some of its solid foundations here.

(a) My first term started from Bhadra 30th of 2073 and my second term started from Shravan 25th of 2078. In the first term, the load-shedding, which used to be around 18 hours a day, was ended.

(b) Only about 58 percent of the people in the country have access to electricity, but now more than 99 percent of the people have access to electricity. Work is underway to complete electrification within the next one year. The work has been done to provide access to electricity to people who are geographically difficult and economically marginalized and underprivileged, and free electricity meters have also been installed.

(c)  Until 2072.73, the accumulated loss of the authority was about 35 billion rupees and the loss of the same year was about 9 billion rupees. In the year 2072/73, the total assets of the authority were about 211 billion rupees, but now it has reached about 644 billion rupees. This profit was not made by increasing the tariff, but it is also the profit made by reducing the tariff by about 25 percent 3 times during this period.

(d)  Since its inception, the authority has paid about 26 billion rupees to the Government of Nepal under various headings in 32 years till 2072/73, and in the last 8 years, it has paid a total of 82 billion rupees including loan, interest, tax and royalty.

(e) In the last 8 years, the authority has invested about one billion rupees in production, transmission and distribution structures, while it has invested about 57 billion rupees in subsidiary and affiliated companies.

(f)  Since there is a need to import electricity even during the rainy season, it has been successful in earning foreign exchange by exporting electricity to India during the rainy season for the past three years. From last year, the export of electricity was more than the import of electricity, and the export of electricity was about 17 billion. In addition, the third country, which has no border with Nepal, has started exporting 40 megawatts of electricity to Bangladesh from last November.

(six)  In the year 2072/73, there was about 26 percent leakage of the electricity system, but in the year 2080/81, success has been achieved to maintain 12.73 percent. This has greatly contributed to improving the financial situation of the authority.

(h)  With the easy and sufficient supply of electricity, electricity consumption has increased by about three times in the country. In the year 2072/73, electricity consumption per person was about 131 units, but currently, electricity consumption per person has increased to about 400 units. In this way, the increase in consumption is due to the increase in the use of electric vehicles, electric stoves and other electric devices and the increase in household and industrial demand.

(jh)  Customers who consume less than 20 units of electricity will be charged free of charge and the minimum charge will be Rs 30. Out of about 6 million electricity consumers across the country, there are about 2.2 million households that take this facility. In addition, electricity tariff is charged at a very low rate than the price purchased by the authority in irrigation, drinking water, charging stations, math temples, cold storage etc. In this way, the authority has been discharging the obligations of the state from its income. Despite this, the authority  There is a situation where it can be taken to continuous profit.

(j)  Not only the electrification of the villages, but also the expansion of smart street lights in cooperation with the local bodies, the work of lighting up the city has been effectively advanced.

(t)  In the year 2072/73, the total power generation capacity in the country was about 856 MW, which has increased by about 4 times and has reached about 3500 MW by the authority, subsidiary companies of the authority and the private sector. Due to the certainty of the market by making electricity purchase agreement with the private sector on a Lew or Tir basis, the electricity production from the private sector has increased as expected.

(अ)  Prioritizing solar power production, the authority has already produced about 117 megawatts of solar power by itself and from the private sector, and about 113 megawatts of projects are under construction, while 960 megawatts of solar power are in the process of being negotiated.

(d)  Eight years ago, only 2,800 megawatts of electricity was sold, but currently, more than 11,000 megawatts of private sector power purchase agreements have been completed, while around 8,000 megawatts of hydropower projects are in various stages of construction.

(उ)  The Authority, which has been increasing its income, has increased its investment not only in transmission lines, but also in power generation. Through NEA's assistant company, Tanahu Bharthurt and Roeluling Raahughat and Roasts of 37 MW of Upper Trishuli, Roliwaling hydropower projects are under construction. NEA has come into operation 168 MW of MW of 168 MW of MW of 262 MW Bhotekashi Hydropower Project of operation. Chilimal Hydropower Company has taken ahead of about 300 MW of around 300 MW. The construction of the upper Modi Modi-A, 18.2 MW of Upper Modi-A, 18.2 MW Upper Modi and Tamakoshi Paper. 210 MW Changea Seti Seti, & NBSP; 1063 MW Upper Arun and 670 MW of 670 MW of militant hydropower projects have reached the condition of construction by financial management. The work of the east preparation of these projects are becoming rapidly. & Nbsp; The Uplipat Arun Project could not get help from responsible bodies to pursue the Nepal people's investment. This project is in the interest of Nepal and the Nepali people. I believe that everyone will resisted that the project will not allow the project to become a roadlock in a colloquial manner and to take beyond the ownership of the authority.

492 MW The Arun-4 Hydropower Project of India has been carried out to develop a joint investment with India. The 683 MW Sunkoshi-3 reservoir hydropower projects have been constructed under investment of Nepal and Bangladesh. Similarly, the detailed study process of 10,800 MW of the South Asian region has been started with 10,800 MW Kiswap multiplier reservoir projects. Involving the system in various lands to make the system reliable and quality in various lands, they manage the fluctuations of daily demand and supplies. The additional study of Pump Storage Hydropower Projects, MW storage projects have been taken forward and additional studies of some 800 MW of around 800 MW.

) Digitization of the organization has been kept highly priority to automatically improve the service of NEA) to automatically and ensure the support of the system. Information of information technology, the technology technology is effective, which has been implemented in terms of digital technology in line with the decidus implemented.

Maintenance Facility Constitution has been completed in operation by construction of international levels of international levels and data centers. The process required to apply smart meters, Skada, the ERP system. Harcastropics inside the organization has been harshly applied.

(then) & nbsp; Nepal's national broadcasting system is currently run from 220 kg and 400 kV for 132 kV for 132/73. The current transmission transmission transmission line is currently about 8,000 circued km and the capacity of the grid surstation line is currently the capacity of the grid Swestation, about 14 & Nbsp from 2,200 MV; A thousand MV has reached a thousand MV.

(Thamuwal is under construction of electricity, Rorakhpur 400 KV, Lamki-Bareley 400 kV. And Chamelia-Zhalji-Zealazibi is at different stages of the implementation of 220 kV transmission line. Also, Chilime-Kearung 22 k. between Nepal and China Chilime Kerb. In order to move the transmission line forward to the two or nbsp; has been Thus, from 2035, the transmission line will be exported to export to the transmission to be exported to about 20,000 MW of electricity. The master plan of the broadcast and distribution structure of the main cities of the country of the country in 11 major clusters will be prepared by dividing the major cities of the country in 11 major clusters. A total of Rs 2 million 20,000 circuits for the delivery line in

(District) Distribution 2072/73 is currently reached about 2,600 MVA from 640 MV. It has also been at the stage that would be completed undergo electric wire to be completed in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, Pokhara and Bharatpur Marther's main cities. The main main delivery lines have reached the stage of the land and removal of poles and strings.

(N) & NBSP; NEA has been receiving AA ± Rating in Ira Nepal's Credit Rating, NEA has seen your financial and economic obligations can be able to bear reassuring.

(P) NEA has been added to the international level of consultant in collaboration with the World Bank, which has been completed the material testis and the property of the property. Even the basis of it, the basis of it, has also taken the necessary process forward to the general public to issue the IPO.

We have ensured credible electrical supply, saved the nation's economic supply and played an important role to raise the living standards of the people. I am convinced that the example of effective visual leadership, clear vision, and transparent method can now be implemented in other countries. But the misunderstanding of a minister and the organization is present on the moment of leathering and rugging in the moment. There is always necessary to make sense for it.

these successes are not possible only by my heart. This overall policy of the affluent work of the hard work, the Government of Nepal is a common result of the faith and endurance of all the Nepali people.

Mass consumer the public showing the love I have represented by the public to me. Myself for the coming days is my righteous source and guidance. I will always be thankful for the Nepali people for this. I would like to thank all the levels of Nepal Electricity Electricities and Working Trread Unions with executive directors with the executive director, the executive director, the executive director, the executive director, the executive director of the Hostem. Santop of the Government of Nepal and our developmental missions made by Story-BREAC Authority alone and the harmony and harmony of our development helpers helmet is possible only. World Bank, Asian Development Bank (ADB), Japan), Neribacter Investigation Bank (EIB), Yayibi), Yaybek Bank, Udzim Bank Korea, Assistant Like Exim Bank Chinese The energy of the missions has a very important contribution to the development of Nepal's energy sector. All bodies are deaf thanks. The achievement of the data-BREAK Authority is not the only subject of the special issue, national self-confidence is also the energy of awakening. The Prime Ministology of the Prime Ministers of the Chamber of the Directions, Coordinators and Socials, Santers, Officials, Officials, Local Testament, and officials of the National Testament bodies, NEA's officials, the official of the NEA, and officials of the National Testament bodies, the authority officials, the official of the Nepal's employees, the authority of the NEA's employees, the authority of the NEA will be thankful to thank all the worlds. I believe that the coming days will be received in the coming days. Communications house and journalists want to help with the communication of the regular work of the NEA.

I ended load shedding by ending load shedding, taking the work into a profit by taking a facility by taking a profit. All of these actions were based on results or-oriented leadership. My commitment will always be dedicated to the people of the people. I am always ready to contribute to where I need instruction. Taking to attack me from a few selfish group, the responsibility given by

, I was tried to hit me in a direct / indirect alliance from some selfish group. I also want to be careful about the struck of making me weak even in the coming days.
