Minister Bhandari commented that the representation of the Far West in state power has been very slow and has been reduced to only limited responsibilities.
Minister for Labor, Employment and Social Security Rajendra Singh Bhandari has said that not only the geographical but also the psychological distance between the Far West and the federal capital is increasing. Speaking at a program organized on the occasion of the provincial-level 'Skill and Employment Fair 2082', he opined that dissatisfaction and anger are growing in the society due to this distance and the unbalanced development prevailing in the country.
He recalled that the youth of the Far West have contributed the most in the mass movements and the recent Gen G rebellion.
Stating that the country can no longer withstand the discontent created among the citizens due to the lack of proportional and balanced development and geographical constraints, Minister Bhandari said that if this situation reaches a state of 'self-explosion', the country will not be able to sustain it.
He suggested that a clear path to prosperity should be identified by linking the skills of the Far West with development. He pointed out that skilled managers like Dhangadhi Mayor Gopal Hamal are needed for this. Minister Bhandari emphasized that the attitude and mentality towards labor in the society is still weak and stressed that the development of a culture of respecting labor is indispensable.
He also informed that the Federal Ministry of Labor is rapidly advancing the work of creating necessary procedures for promoting internal employment and linking it with the national employment system.
