Former Minister for Industries and NCP candidate for Palpa Constituency No. 2, Som Prasad Pandey, has said that employment can be created if Palpa can be made a tourist 'hub'. He said that Palpa will be developed as a tourist 'hub' by keeping tourism, agriculture, infrastructure and employment as the main priorities.

Making public a commitment letter in Tansen, his constituency, on behalf of the NCP, he said that along with the development of Palpa as a whole, the historical city of Tansen would develop tourism infrastructure.

‘There is a plan to make Tansen a beautiful city of tourist attractions by using traditional materials such as Telia and Bhaktapure bricks while maintaining the originality of new and old houses in Tansen,’ he said. ‘The plan is to develop Tansen as a ‘hill station.’

He said that an integrated religious and cultural tourism circuit would be built from Siddhababa, which is located near the Siddhartha Highway, to Ramdighat. He said that a national-level ‘Magar Museum’ and ‘Magar Village’ would be established to attract tourists to introduce the Magar culture, which is a form of identity, to the world. He said that Nepal’s largest Buddha statue would be installed in Srinagar to connect Tansen and the surrounding areas, which are predominantly Buddhist, with Lumbini. 

Former Minister Pandey said that the monasteries in rural areas including Tansen would be renovated and made into attractive pilgrimage sites. Pandey, who is also a former MP and member of the Constituent Assembly, said that tourists will be attracted by building Mandavya Ashram and Buduwa in Madi near Tansen, as well as Mandavya Lake and Rishikesh Mokshadham Sarovar in Rurukshetra. “An integrated master plan will be prepared for the construction of the ‘Anglo-Nepal War Garden’ and the ‘Unification Trail’ that reflect the victory story of the Nepal-British War,” he said. He said that the reconstruction and beautification of the historic Ranujeshwori Bhagwati Temple should be completed within two years. 

He said that an international-level smart hall with a capacity of 3,500 seats would be built to make Tansen a center for ‘event tourism’. Stating that Baldhengadhi can be developed as a national park to attract tourists, Pandey said that the plan to build ‘Taksar Living Museum’ along with ‘Newa: Chho’ in Tansen to reflect Newari culture would take a historic leap in Palpa’s economic prosperity and employment generation. 

Pandey, while releasing the commitment letter, said, "I have put forward a plan to develop Tansen Polytechnic Campus and Damkada area as a residential educational hub and to develop Tribhuvan Multiple Campus, which is an educational heritage of western Nepal, as a Tansen Educational Research Center." He pledged to develop Palpa Hospital as a hospital with state-of-the-art physical infrastructure and specialist services while taking initiatives for vocational and technical education in other educational institutions in the district.

Pandey said that the United Mission Hospital in Tansen, Palpa, will be developed as an international-level medical research center, study, and teaching center. He said that the Butwal-Tansen-Ridi section of the Siddhartha Highway will be upgraded within 3 years, the Hartok-Chhahara Motorway will be blacktopped within 2 years, and the construction of the Dobhan-Bhotegaun-Marek-Kashinagar-Durgut-Batase-Satmure-Gulmi road will be emphasized. He said that dozens of roads, such as Bhutkhola-Kachal, Jagat-Gothadi, Mayathok-Devdaha, and Madiphant-Hardiniya, which were started during his time as Minister of Industry and Member of Parliament, will be completed.
