EXEMPLARY DEDICATION

It seems that everything is possible if there are determination, commitment and sincerity. The only thing is that it does not seem possible to find individuals having such qualities with some exceptions. Soon after the killer earthquake rocked the nation almost three years ago, thousands of people were killed and displaced. Many of them are still spending their lives under makeshift camps. Likewise, several houses in Rautahat district were destroyed by last year’s massive floods. All the victims from disadvantaged and poor communities were forced to live with much difficulty in temporary shelters.

Many individuals, several non government organizations, international organizations and donor communities came forward for rescue works and later for rehabilitation. The government put its every effort to rehabilitate the victims effected by both the massive floods and devastating earthquake in collaboration with these organizations. However, due to lack of proper coordination and management, rehabilitation process did not move ahead satisfactorily. The National Reconstruction Authority (NRA) is still struggling even after three years to reach all the victims who were forced to spend three cold winters and monsoon rains with much difficulty in their makeshift camps.

However, some of the earth-quake victims in Sindhupalchok district and flood victims of Rautahat district seemed to be lucky and fortunate to move into the new houses graciously constructed and donated by the Dhurmus-Suntali Foundation. An integrated settlement built by this organization for 47 flood victims was handed over by the President Bidya Devi Bhandari yesterday in Chandrapur Municipality of Ruatahat district (“Flood victims get new homes” February 7, Page 4). This foundation deserves high appreciation for its commendable social works for the human-kind. Should the other social organizations initiate such noble deeds with dedication, commitment and sincerity, more quake and flood affected families would be lucky and fortunate to move into new homes.

2083/84 budget at a glance

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.
