NGOs fail to translate commitment into reality; Says PM

22 Sept, Kathmandu:

Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal today came down heavily on non-governmental organisations (NGO), claiming that they failed to translate their commitments to uplift backward community into reality.

Their aims should be to provide social service and create job opportunities for middle group, said PM Dahal.

He was speaking at a programme organised by the Social Welfare Council (SWC) in the capital to mark the 37th Social Service Day.

He also questioned whether the NGOs were investing in social services or not.

Saying NGOs are reluctant to work in rural areas, he stressed the need for such NGOs to change the existing trend of focusing their activities only in urban areas and to carry out result-oriented works that should focus on the target group.
Dahal, also SWC chairperson, directed the SWC to move ahead in consistent with federal structure that the country has adopted as per the constitution.

Likewise, participants including Secretary of the Ministry of Women, Children and Social Welfare Bishnu Prasad Lamsal and SWC Vice-Chair Nil Mani Baral pointed out the need for the government to vest the SWC with additional rights to gain its more success and make its role effective.
Also at the event, employees with 25 years of work experiences at the SWC have been honoured. RSS
