Bold and creative
Of the two interviews published (February 19,
2003, TKP ), the one from FNCCI is remarkable and calls for action-oriented partnership
from the government, business community, and the civil society. Responding to the
problematic and challenging situation of today Binod Bahadur Shrestha’s commitmental
offer on behalf of Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) make
us realise the strong will and creative potentiality as well as urgent concern of the
business organisation in the realms of reconstructive and rehabilitative scenario at the
national level. The pertinent offers worth referring are:
- given notable concession for the factories
established outside the valley, preparedness to open productive avenues in the remote
areas for developmental economy and stabilised social order
- establish trade schools in the five
development regions under the concept of public private partnership leading to
self-concept of public private partnership leading to self-employment and upgraded
capabilities for better jobs in the extended frontier
- direct financial assistance to rehabilitate
Maoist-affected people to facilitate solving the national crisis if exemption from income
tax is seriously considered.
It is now for the government, the policy
enunciators, and the political parties to make their respective commitments in
strengthening the private sectors towards promoting their active inputs, and work out a
meaningful programme to utilise the generous offer brought forth from FNCCI for the
sustainable cause at the national level.
