MAKE IT IMPLEMENTED
It was very satisfying news report to read
(“PM’s bid to promote domestic products” 12 Sept, Page Money) with regard to
the government’s plan to make the government entities to purchase local goods.
What could be more appreciable and encouraging news than this when the nation
is experiencing trade deficits with almost all the countries wherever Nepal exports its products? During late 1970/80, Indian government had
made such mandatory for all its organizations and even for the private organizations
to use home grown products. It remained to be very successful drive resulting
to boost the country’s economy.
In fact, the previous governments had also
made similar announcement but unfortunately could not be materialized. Even, this
is not the first time for Dr. Baburam Bhattarai who, as a Finance Minister, had
announced during his budget speech to develop Hetauda text tile mills to
produce textiles for Nepal Police, Armed Police and Nepali Army. Likewise, he
had made mandatory for the government offices to purchase tires manufactured by
Gorakhkali Rubber Industries. None of the plans were implemented. It is hoped
that this time his plans would be sincerely implemented for the sake of
boosting national ailing economy.
