काठमाडौं ।

Nepali Congress (NC) lawmaker Gyanendra Bahadur Karki has underlined the need of developing the information technology as a productive sector.

Taking part in the discussions on the Annual Estimates of Revenue and Income for the fiscal year 2082-83 BS in a meeting of the House of Representatives today, the leader said,” At present, around 70 percent of population have access to mobile and internet services. Millions of youths are unemployed. Our neighbours are earning a significant amount of dollars through the export of IT service,” he said, advising the Nepal to follow the practice of neighbours.

Expressing his solidarity to the budget, he argued that it has potentials to address the people’s aspirations and achieving durable economic reforms, reflecting the existing reality of economy.

The former Minister for Communications and Information Technology welcomed the budget priorities and goals, claiming that it has prioritized achieving a high, sustainable, and broad economic growth rate, poverty alleviation, entrepreneurship development, and expansion of public and private investment to create employment.

He further advised that the Finance Minister should undertake an evaluation of allocation capacity, implementation capacity, accountability, and targeted interventions to make the budget more result-oriented.

“Unless the budget commitments are not implemented, it will be hard to achieve goals,” the former Finance Minister said. RSS
