President Ramchandra Paudel has said that it is the common responsibility of all to fulfill the people's aspirations for rapid development with the strengthening of the Federal Democratic Republic by freeing Nepal from the cycle of low economic growth.

On Monday, President Paudel, while addressing the official launch ceremony of the Nagarkot tour year 2082, which was organized by Banepa Municipality of Kavre, Mandandeupur Municipality, Changunarayan Municipality of Bhaktapur and Shankharapur Municipality of Kathmandu, mentioned tourism, agriculture, water resources, energy, information technology and industry as the economic backbone of the country. He said that removing the existing problems in these areas and creating appropriate policies, laws and opportunities is the main responsibility of the state.

The President said that emphasis should be placed on creating job opportunities, creating an investment-friendly environment, increasing competition by reducing production costs, and industrialization. He said, 'Only if the economy can be reformed by freeing from the cycle of low economic growth, the federal republic will be strong and the rapid development desired by the people will be possible.'

He said that the government and stakeholders should be aware of protecting historical, cultural and religious heritage and making it the basis of economic development. "By promoting the nature, culture and civilization of Nagarkot and its surrounding areas in Nepal and the international tourism market, we can contribute to the country's income," said President Paudel.

The President described Nagarkot as an attractive destination for domestic and foreign tourists and mentioned that the sunrise, snow ranges and cultural diversity here make this area special. Emphasizing the historical importance of Changunarayan Temple, Mahadev Pokhari, Manjushree Cave, Bhangeri, Putli Durbar, Shalinadi, Bajrayogini Temple and Sankhu Bazaar, he said that tourism activity has also increased through hiking trails.

With Nagarkot as the center, President Poudel said that the work done by the four municipalities to promote the heritage of their respective areas is commendable and urged them to pay attention to the expansion of tourism infrastructure, road upgrading and ease of access. "Cooperation between local residents, entrepreneurs, tourism professionals and all three levels of government is necessary," he said. President Paudel wished that this day would inspire everyone to work together in nation building with peace, inclusive society, sustainable development and economic prosperity.
