Nepal Engineers Association (NEA) is celebrating its golden jubilee in a week long program. Marking the 50 glorious years of Engineering professionalism and leadership, NEA already organized different programs like Tree Plantation, Marathon, Blood Donation, and Poem Competition. NEA is also organizing a two day celebration program from today marking the day when NEA was officially registered with then Government of Nepal on Shrawan 3rd back in 2019 B.S as a non-profit organization.
Honarable President Dr. Ram Baran Yadav inaugurated the Golden jubilee program with the theme "50 years of NEA: Engineer's Relentless Journey towards Prosperous Nepal" today in the Nepal Pragya Pratisthan Hall, Kamaladi. Distributing honors and awards to different engineers for their good work, President highly praised the role of engineers in the nation building process.
In separate plenary sessions, Engineers, politicians, government planners discussed Vision development: Engineer's perspective and State Restructuring & Federalism.
In the first session chaired by Vice Chairman, Planning Commission, Dipendra Bahadur CChetri, two former Vice Chairmans, NPC (Dr. Dinesh Chandra Devkota and Dr. Jagadish Chandra pokharel) put forward their visions to Think Big: Engineer's way to build Peace and prosperous Nepal. I liked the way Jagadish Sir emphasized continuum thinking big anywhere, even in dreams will culminate in Peace and Prosperous Nepal if engineers are in the front-line to plan the nation's developement.
In the second session chaired by Er. Ganesh Shah, Former Minister, Science and Technology, Dr. Kamal Rijal and Dr. Bharat Pahari presented their papers on State restructuring and federalism. Both presenters emphasized the illusions of federalism that is rooted in the political leaders and the different ethnic groups. They even put watershed and salt trade ways could be a criteria for demarcation of federal states which is the main disputed issue between major political parties and even in people, that is responsible for the demise of Constituent Assembly without drafting a new constitution. But different political parties representative outcried their party's stand just for the sake of argument. Ultimately Er. Ganesh Shah ended the session in a positive note that this start of discussion of state restructuring issue with political parties and engineers will pave the way for good result leading country to a prosperous direction.
