From a quiet hamlet in Rajdevi Municipality, 32-year-old Ghazala Shamim Mikrani has embarked on a journey to become a member of the House of Representatives. Her success is not only an individual achievement, but also the rise of women from minority communities in the governance of the state.
Ghazala, who was elected as a proportional representative from the soil of Madhesh, has now become the center of hope not only for the district but also for the entire backward class. Her journey to parliament has set a new standard for women's participation in district politics.
The National Independent Party (RIP) included her in the proportional list, appreciating her experience in the social sector, representation of women and the Muslim community. She entered the parliament journey from a background of social service and made her identity as a social activist.
Ghazala, a resident of Rajdevi Municipality-6, was born in an ordinary family. Her father, Samim Mikrani, does not have a political background. Ghazala has completed her studies from colleges under Tribhuvan University. She holds a diploma in pharmacy and a bachelor's degree in management and law.
She said that with her multifaceted educational background and experience in social service, she stepped into politics with the determination to directly serve the people. 'The inequality seen in the society, the problems of the people and the desire for positive change inspired her to enter politics,' she said, 'I have resolved to build a prosperous society through job creation, quality education, accessible health services and sustainable development while maintaining good governance and transparency.'
It was a 'surprise' for many when she was made a proportional representation MP from the Muslim quota. She said that her selection as a member of the House of Representatives sent a message that work and expertise are not enough to reach leadership for years.
Ghazala, who entered politics only last year, has experience working in social organizations. She says that the widespread inequality in society, the problems faced by the common people, and the strong desire to bring about positive changes in the system inspired her to enter politics. She said that politics is necessary to solve the problems of the people at the policy level.
Before entering active politics, she was associated with various social organizations for about 4/5 years. During that time, she has experience working with the citizens of the land in the fields of education, health, livelihood, and community development. She has worked especially in the fields of women's rights, empowerment of the Muslim community, and education and health at the rural level.
She said that it would be easier to solve the problems of the people of the land by closely observing the daily life of the common people of the rural areas. She said that she would prioritize the work of making administrative work transparent, creating opportunities for the youth at the local level, improving the condition of government schools and health institutions and making them accessible to everyone, and implementing long-term development plans while balancing the environment and society.
Local youth Munna Yadav said that Ghazala set an example of how a woman representing a minority community from an ordinary family can reach the highest body (Parliament) of the country. Yadav said that her journey has given the confidence to the youth who want to enter politics that 'it is possible'.
