Kudos to Dr. KC

Kudos to Dr. KC

This is in reference to the news report “Dr. KC ends fast-unto death” (THT, 16 Feb. Page 1) that must have drawn wide attention of all the concerned. Dr. KC was also on hunger strike before and had ended the strike after the Regmi led government promised to fulfil his demands. However, nothing concrete measures were taken. What a shame it was on the government’s part not to be serious in properly honouring the agreement.

The irresponsible act of the TU reappointing the Dean at the IoM without considering the seniority of the incumbent doctors had forced Dr. KC to resume hunger strike. His effort to disregard these corrupt and irresponsible decisions of TU should be applauded in terms of chasing way these malpractices of higher authorities in the days to come.  Otherwise, the monopoly and politicization of educational institutions continue to flourish in the coming days also downgrading the quality of education and services.

Until the semi government organizations and institutions are kept under political influences, their credibility may always remain questionable. IoM has been simply one of the representative institutions. Thanks to all the serving doctors and staff who showed their solidarity with Dr. KC for denouncing and disregarding the malpractices of their higher authorities. It is hoped that in the coming days the other semi government organizations are managed without any political interferences following the lessons from the IoM.

2083/84 budget at a glance The Balen led government , which is almost two-thirds majority government secured in the March 2026 elections , has announced its annual budget 2,124.34 billion on May 29, 2026, as the largest budget in Nepal's history, representing a 25.2 present increase over the revised estimates of the current fiscal year 2082/83.  Most of the financial experts and economic analysts opine that this budget, although optimistic, has broadly, boldly and wisely covered key and major aspects of the national all round development. Huge tax reforms , massive infrastructure allocations, transformative sectoral policies, 7 percent targets on economic growth and inflation capped at 6 per cent are the key aspects of the highly optimistic budget.
