If you were the Prime Minister of Nepal – Nepali Youth Opinion at Reliance International Academy

Samikchhya Raut:

Prime Minister should be selfless, comprehensive and unequivocal. We lag behind the world in terms of techonological sophistication. So, in my premiership, I will address the issues of Information Technology first and foremost. To bring back youths who are working abroad, I will create opportunities according to their interest. My message to every leader is

“think beyond your self-interest and work for better future of Nepal.”

Salma Moktan

Prime Minister without leadership, result-oriented planning and mediator personality is not a prime minister at all. If I were the PM of Nepal,

my paramount agenda would be to look for common ground to reach consensus among political parties.

Many youths fly Middle East countries to work in scorching sun leaving away the cool breeze of their country. To get them back to motherland, I would use media to cultivate feeling of nationality in them. At present context where politicians give false promises and never work to make them true, I would request them to show, not just speak, what they are capable of, for action speaks louder than the words. And also I would request them to respect each other’s opinions.

PM should be talented, thoughtful and unbiased. And, particularly for Nepal, he should be a youth. Though we advocate for “Non-aligned foreign policy”, we see clear inclination of our political leaders towards a particular country. This makes our country isolated from rest of the world. To rectify this, I, as a prime minister, will review and make necessary changes to the foreign policy of Nepal. Today, youths are in vicious circle: lack of development obliges them to go abroad and when only few youths remain in country, development is unimaginable. So, to break this vicious cycle, I would devise a monumental strategy. My suggestion for every politician and every citizen of Nepal is

“One doesn’t need to be in politics to do good. If any one of us work hard for our country we can be the prime person of the country. And it goes without saying; prime person is more powerful than prime minister.”

From my perspective, an ideal PM should be confident and competent. We Nepalese faced hardship due to economic blockade some months earlier, the cause of which was the failure of constitution to address mandate of all people so, my primary focus will be on amendment of constitution during the earlier days of my premiership. Everyone desires for better job and better life. If I could assure opportunities to initiate self-entrepreneurship for foreign employed youths, then they would certainly come back. If I am to suggest one and only thing to political leaders, it will be

“Give less importance to power, more importance to development works”.

If I were the prime minister of Nepal, my principal focus would be to upgrade education system. Course books based learning is very outdated; what we need is a system of education that ensures overall development of students including physical, mental and societal development.

Parbat
Given a chance that I were the PM of Nepal , I would develop education sector because all other sectors are related to and depends on education.

Binod Guragain
With the frequent change of government, the projects formulated to give pace to development come to sudden halt. The development works become intermittent, starting when one party is in power and ending when it gets powerless. Though we will have multitude of “agendas” in paper , we won’t have any completed works in action. If I were the Prime Minister of Nepal, I would formulate legislation that obligate the incoming party in government to complete the tasks initiated by the former cabinet. This would materialize the concept of long term planning.

Symentha Upreti
Lost in the labyrinth of ambitious planning, policy makers have overlooked the pollution in the country. If I were the Prime Minister, I would revise legislations that aim at controlling pollution. With that being said, pollution control will be my primary focus along with good governance.

Aarogya
Though second richest in water resources, we are unable to generate enough electricity that lights our homes. Yet, we dream of lighting whole Asia solely with our water. To make this dream come true, I will focus primarily on developing hydropower plants on perspective areas.

Anish
We are extremely rich in minerals. Lack of sufficient modern technologies and manpower are main reasons behind those being unexplored. If I, as PM, could work out ways to exploit those minerals, we could have bright future ahead.
