Bagmati provincial government has decided to provide interest-free loans to help people in rural areas find jobs. The plan aims to support families by giving them loans to buy two buffaloes for income generation.
Bagmati minister for economic affairs and planning, Prabhat Tamang, shared this information while speaking at the tenth district assembly organized by the district coordination committee of Rasuwa. He also encouraged young people to take part in the program. He said the government is ready to help open dairy businesses and manage animal feed and fertilizer.
During the assembly, which was led by district coordination committee chief Ashok Kumar Ghimire, officials presented the annual progress of district government offices. Some participants expressed dissatisfaction because no update was given on the Galchi–Trishuli–Mailung–Syafrubesi–Rasuwagadhi road improvement project, which is listed as a national pride project.
Rasuwa’s chief district officer, Rajesh Panthi, said the district often faces disasters such as floods and landslides. He said some office heads ignore disaster management meetings when they are held outside the district headquarters.
Rajendra Bikram Singh Thakuri, the head of the district coordination committee of Nuwakot, said Rasuwa and Nuwakot should work together to improve development activities that benefit the public.
Nepali Congress district president, Pemwatsiring Tamang, said the district has not received any benefit from the royalty owed by the Chilime Hydropower Project. He urged officials to recover the money and give it to affected residents. He also asked them to promote tourism in the area.
The district assembly honored ten people and institutions for their good work. The award recipients included local officials and ward secretaries from different rural municipalities. Chilime Hydropower Project and Upper Mailung Hydropower Project were also honored.
